Fortunately, for shareholders, I think they've wisely given D. Gold and Dr. C. Apel a lot of latitude in running the show. (Agent made a good point about BB's comfort level with SKTO management.) Having cultivated this difficult field for decades, pioneers D. Gold and Dr. Apel certainly have the influence and clout to have induced many of those over 400 collectives to have signed on. They also own common shares  (at least 20mil) received for BB. When the products get there and become popular sellers, much of this angst will evaporate.
