Anyone out there have a rational, non-Pollyannish explanation for the lack of communication from management? Perhaps packing bags, looking for a landing site that does not have extradition...

In the best of all possible worlds, a buyout by an actual biopharm company could save us a few bucks, but if something untoward really is going on, management never will let that happen.

My concern is, why are these explanations less realistic than any other explanation?

Almost everyone has been giving management the benefit of the doubt over the last x months/years, without any benefit to show for it. Rome is burning, and Nero is fiddling...
