I agree that it seemed like CYDY was going to let RP keep the 8M shares (or at least that was speculation), but I thought I read something in the 10-K that had a different tone. Maybe they were holding these shares over RPs head to avoid lawsuit and he thought or thinks the company will settle eventually. If nothing else it will delay CytoDyn from recouping the shares until settled in which the share price will be significantly higher (IMO) and then even if they settle it would be at a much higher value than $1.3M salary and bonuses. I also think this is largely for RP to save his reputation.
