Not sure if you're familiar with the game of chess. One of the reasons VERB did an RS was to remain NASDAQ compliant. I'm pretty sure they are working on something that will push Market Live over a very big hurdle, just as was announced at the end of 2022. Just because one sacrifices a key chess component doesn't mean they have lost or that they give up. There are moves where even the most powerful piece on the board is sacrificed in order to win the game. Look at more than just the next step or two ahead and you might find that what was just done (the RS) was a necessity in order to achieve a greater goal. Those on the other board are still playing tic tac toe, so they have no clue what will most likely happen before the Q1 PR in a few weeks.
