It is clear to me. The NEW GFC is about to come upon us and the current money in the company will only further reduce every ones return.
To me these 2 emails lately are a desperate call to admit defeat and own up to GTFODodge ASAP! I say all members (partners) should call a meeting ASAP and sell off everything, cut losses and move on. You try to ask for only half your initial investment back, ha hah, that would reduce their losses or increase current profits hugely but, they won't do that!
When BC gets on the plane, he won't be coming back in a hurry. In this land he fears repercussions in my opinion and back in his homeland he feels he might get away with out of sight out of mind and if there were repercussions then the law down there would be a better choice than in the UAE.
Should the members allow him to leave the country without any action to liquidate the company and he stay in the country until that happens then the members (partners) deserve whatever final return they get!
Time is running out for action!
