Can multiply that holding by almost 10 fold.
That large holding then came with a lot of external grief mainly that one must participate in a bb class action. Refused to go down this route as primarily believed that Amit had still operated within the legal guidelines, that he had tried hard with the multiple presentations and that also, we individually should accept responsibility for our investment decisions.
Those ‘legal guidelines’ admittedly became somewhat grey, the further he moved the investment vehicle offshore, so would have been very difficult imo to get any legal repercussion. That was me also trusting in the assumption that there had been a good/determined effort from Amit, to try & achieve a useful medical application.
I was then biased towards Amit’s efforts by TW & WShak’s negative inputs, the worst of which was centred around a fairly strong perception that WShak was racially biased against Amit.
I have zero time for the bb eejits who instantly write off any of TW’s analysis and although I think his Politics are somewhat aligned with granddad’s views, I always take onboard his business views. On this investment I thought he was perhaps too aligned with WShak and those political influences had crept in. Time will tell, and we should all know soon enough.
One of the reasons that I liked Amit was that he was in the similar vein as elder brother. An ex-Sony Ericsson project manager who then developed his own business project, technically biased on modems / video, and had exactly the same patter as Amit for extolling project funds out of investors. So a similar amount again, lost that year, on two entrepreneurs who I had then written off as simply being ahead of their time. Elder bro lost out but his core business technology has since been picked up successfully by others & likewise with Amit, i think the idea was also ahead of its time.
So, maybe he has scored but lol, I’m half-suspecting that the CTAG website will have been hacked, which means that if so, then perhaps post weekend, there may be an update…
Fingers crossed though, he’s been working hard behind the scenes. Lol, quite an epic.
