Also some people would like others to believe that if the deal fails, then that’s it, all will be lost, the company will be bankrupt and the shares will have become worthless instantly.
Nonsense. Yes, if the deal isn’t closed, the share price will take a serious hit, no doubt, but it will not be quoting 0.0.
If the deal fails it will mean a (temporary ? ) loss for the shareholders, but it’s unlikely it will be end of story.

The science and prospects are just too good, Cydy will probably get funded to the finish line, not on terms we would like to see, we’ll most likely get seriously diluted.
But people having done their homework know that there is still serious money to be made on this investment even after serious dilution.
