RE: Madp - Firm Figures30 Sep 2020 09:49
Mole, I see you the issues you raise earlier. I do not think that they necessarily put to bed the matter, indeed, they have very plausible answers/ responses, which to some degree or other have been answered by MadP. Having gone through both responses, I had feelings about how I would have responded in some of the places
1. As Madp says, there had been lobbying going on for some time. However, the case (i.e. GD heavy interference and corruption) was emergent and only becoming demonstrable enough for US intervention much later. Earlier, FRR were just a puddly company. Later, we were potentially onto something, added to which, very importantly, GD corruption had become clearer and pretty much self-evident. This would have made it far easier for the US to intervene in Georgia, a former Russian/ USSR region/ state/ province, right on the doorstep of present-day Russia.
As much as it may seem easy for the US to wade in everywhere, is never that simple. Is easier to do with Venezuela, Bolivia, or Iraq, than with Georgia.
The path to significant US political pressure needed to paved/ made easier. However, corrupt/ duplicitous the US itself is, it still does require the idea of ‘justice’, ‘due process’ and playing by the rules to generally apply pressure (not always the case but they still have a pretence towards such things).
In short, is only recently that a number of things happened and converged, enabling their wading in to support a piddly AIM company.
2. Not sure this is a petty dispute with Outrider. Outrider wanted to sink FRR and have done this to others. As Madp says, they tried to restrict avenues to finance. Indeed, Hope went around the back of the other directors, trying to pressure our NOMAD. This was not a petty dispute. Indeed, if he was not acting in concert with others, I will be surprised i.e. strange how so many parties simultaneously decided to apply heavy pressure on FRR

4. YA were caught naked shorting, which is illegal. In order to naked short, they had to get the shares out early and then, of course, apply the screw, just as others were simultaneously were doing (GD with their arbitration; TW and his lot etc). But they got caught.
5. MadP says, “If bank accounts are frozen and FRR is prevented from selling oil, then staff have to go. If the court cases needed stalling, then it was essential for the need to be incommunicado.” – I say, “Indeed!”
6. Again, see MadP’s response.
7. See MadP
8. See Madp
Folks may wonder I have gone through the trouble of going over this, repeating, addings or referring to Madp’s responses. Is because while the issues that are raised by Mole are fair enough, the answers are – as best as we can have answers – are available to us already, and should be to a well-informed Mole (we make sound like ‘our man on the inside’). In other words, there are very plausible, credible – indeed, known - reasons for each
Apologies if for some this is repitition
