Devil The pieces of the puzzle fall into place

I'm not fan of AJ but I am always majorly suspicious of the dynamic duo Singo and Dicko and their investor club mates.

The events as they have unfolded:
  • 2008 AJ appointed as QF CEO taking over from Dicko.
  • AJ and Dicko having regular dinner dates and appear to be best mates.
  • 2011 Dicko and Singo admit that they were part of a consortium considering taking a large stake in QF but fail for whatever reason.
  • 2012 QF share price tumbles as a result of a last minute profit warning leading to speculation that the Dicko/Singo consortium were back in the game.
  • AJ, using Macquarie and Citigroup, mount a defence against a takeover bid potentially stabbing his mate Dicko in the back.
  • AJ and Dicko reportedly have a falling out and no longer doing regular dinner dates.
  • Singo suddenly feels the urge to put his 2 cents forward and undermine AJ.

I actually agree with most of what Singo is saying . I am just a little skeptical about his motivation. I hope you are getting the picture I am trying to paint here.
