I'd not paid that much attention to the history of the board prior to this, I will now, I doubt he's still watching, but the constant uplifting chat about the company followed by 'it's in the RNS' response to any questions at all, should have been a massive warning sign and often it was the absence of it in the RNS that was the key point, china in particular. He walked a very very fine line, not sure if he was always on the right side, can I prove he wasn't, no I can't.
Re: the MoU how do you know that there wasn't one? They don't mean a lot, could easily have been abandoned with no further action, China's view of human, animal and nature's rights is wobbly at best so would they really spend all that money? So a few million die due to poor quality water, so what, the gov won't get voted out, they'll deny it internally and externally, or blame the west. Again a sign I should have seen, don't expect business to come off with countries that don't care about what you are selling the solution for, or indeed that recognise patents, I was prepared for the copying risk though I expected that long term that business would die off as it was reverse engineered.
If you can't make a profit from ensuring that animal testing is not needed then the solution is wrong, you should have such a ready market for it, although the situation where if you have animal tested ever then you can't claim to be clean of testing does not help, there is literally no incentive for the big players to stop testing as they cannot be certified.
