What do you mean, "Supposedly there's no partnership"? That's just conjecture. NO ONE KNOWS and to claim that there is no partnership being negotiated is untrue. We don't know because the CEO can't talk about it.

Whoever is claiming knowledge when such knowledge is not possible, is a liar pure and simple. People need to be skeptical of sources claiming to know something that can't be known without violation of securities laws. Let's say "how do you know that" when someone says they know something that isn't public information, instead of swallowing it whole and repeating it.
