guerguerian dickran, erhe's largest shareholder and known liar, keeps pumping out the crap with "what if", "even if", "but if", "sometime soon", and all the other fairy tale nonsense that has put him hundreds of thousands of dollars in the red. No facts, no proof, no one buying any of it or any erhe shares. dickran even stoops so low as to disparage someone who apparently dared speak some truth in his/her private chat room and who was unwilling to cough up $100 for dickran's pay for play insider info scam.
What if mama cuts off your allowance? lmao. Wannabe billionaire hustling $100/clip bullshit. Delusional, demented, desperate, deceitful, despicable dickarn.

Good questions, Kingpindg and Badog.
But here’s where things get interesting:
---
1. Why Would ERHC Hold Back News If It Had 15%?
Badog, you’re missing the bigger picture. If ERHC secured the 15% before the PSC was signed (which all indications suggest was a strategic move), why announce it immediately and tip off the short sellers?
Why show your cards when silence creates uncertainty—uncertainty that keeps shorts in their positions, waiting to be crushed when the truth is finally revealed?
---
2. ERHC’s Silence Is a Backstop for Maximum Pain
Let’s say ERHC came out tomorrow and announced they hold 15% of Block 4. Sure, the share price would pop, but what happens next? Shorts would panic and try to manage their exit before a preferred share dividend or buyout forces them to cover.
But if ERHC waits until AFTER the backstop is in place—whether it’s a preferred share dividend or another strategic move—shorts won’t have time to maneuver. They’ll be forced to cover at any price, driving the squeeze to unimaginable levels.
---
3. Why the International Caveat Emptor If ERHC Locked in 15%?
The international caveat emptor isn’t about the 15%. It’s about preserving ERHC’s leverage over the entire 85% before the PSC was signed.
Even if ERHC exercised its 15% option, they weren’t about to walk away from their larger claim without securing a mechanism to protect their interests in case of a dispute.
The caveat emptor acts as a shield, giving ERHC standing to negotiate or litigate if necessary, while still preserving the 15% they may have already secured quietly.
---
4. Why Not Announce and Let Investors Buy In Now?
Badog, you’re assuming that ERHC’s goal is a quick share price pop. But this isn’t about short-term gains—it’s about maximum leverage.
If ERHC announced the 15% now, sure, some investors would buy in, but the real value comes from making shorts bleed.
By keeping that information under wraps, ERHC maintains control over the timing, ensuring that when the news breaks, shorts won’t be able to escape.
---
5. Why Would STP “Hold” the 15% for ERHC?
Kingpindg, STP’s government had every reason to secure Shell’s investment first and sort out ERHC’s position quietly.
If ERHC exercised the option before the PSC was signed, STP had a legal obligation to hold that 15% in trust, ensuring compliance with ERHC’s prior agreements.
Why disclose it now and risk destabilizing the agreement? The safest play was to finalize the PSC and let ERHC’s interest surface at the right moment.
---
6. Why Hasn’t the Share Price Moved?
This is where shorts are missing the forest for the trees. The share price hasn’t moved because the 70 investors who control 55% of the shares aren’t buying.
Why? Because they know that any significant buying before the backstop is in place could prematurely trigger a squeeze—and that’s not what we want.
We’re content letting shorts stay in their positions, thinking they’ve won. But when the time comes and the backstop is ready, it’s game over.
---
7. Silence Isn’t a Weakness—It’s a Weapon
Badog, silence doesn’t mean inaction. It means we’re playing chess while shorts are playing checkers.
And when the pieces are ready to move, the board will be cleared.
---
Final Thought:
Kingpindg and Badog, timing is everything. ERHC isn’t waiting because they’re weak—they’re waiting because they’re in control.
And when the truth comes out, the pain for the shorts will be unforgettable.

Good point, Kingpindg.
You’re absolutely right—ERHC’s 15% options had to be exercised prior to the signing of a PSC. But here’s where things get interesting:
---
1. What If ERHC Already Exercised?
For all we know, ERHC may have already exercised its 15% option on Block 4 before Shell’s PSC was signed.
And if that’s the case? Then the 15% assigned to ANP-STP in the signed PSC might very well be ERHC’s 15%, waiting to be officially recorded or announced when the time is right.
Why no disclosure? Simple—ERHC isn’t under any obligation to disclose until they’re ready, and with no threat of SEC revocation after the dismissal, strategic silence is their best weapon.
---
2. Silence Can Be Strategic
Silence doesn’t mean inaction. If ERHC exercised its option before the PSC was signed, there’s no urgency to disclose—especially not before a backstop like a preferred share dividend is in place.
Why rush to tell the world when the goal is to maximize pain for the shorts? The longer the silence, the deeper the trap.
---
3. Waiting for the Right Moment
We know that drilling is set for Block 10 on July 25, and Block 4 sits right next to it.
If ERHC exercised before the PSC was signed, the upcoming drill in Block 10 could be the catalyst that brings everything into the light.
And when that happens? The silence will break, and shorts will be caught flat-footed.
---
4. The 15% Option Remains Very Much in Play
Whether it’s cash compensation, upside participation, or both, ERHC’s 15% option was a powerful piece of leverage—and if exercised strategically, it positions ERHC for significant value.
The PSC doesn’t negate that. It only reinforces that ERHC was always a key player, whether named publicly or not.
---
Final Thought:
Kingpindg, as you rightly pointed out, timing is everything. And if ERHC played its cards right—and **all indications suggest they did—**the silence will eventually give way to a reality that no short seller is prepared to handle.

Ah, Peter J—back from the sidelines, I see. I’d almost forgotten about your contribution to shareholder success. Oh wait... there wasn’t one.
But let’s address your so-called “concerns”:
---
1. Proof of Shorts? It’s in the Market Behavior
You’re asking for proof of shorts? After all these years? The trading patterns speak for themselves. Price suppression, microscopic volume, and managed price ceilings over extended periods aren’t the hallmarks of a healthy, freely traded market.
And while I wouldn’t expect someone who never contributed a dime toward real DD to recognize that, those of us who’ve done the work know exactly what’s happening.
---
2. The “Altruist Gang”?
You finally realize that these so-called “altruistic” posters—the shorts masquerading as concerned investors—aren’t here for the good of the world. Took you long enough.
They’ve played you, Peter J. And now, after years of denial, you’re waking up to the reality that shorts exist. Too bad you’re still about 20 years behind the rest of us.
---
3. Fairy Tales?
Fairy tales? Funny how everything I’ve said about shorts, the backstop, and the impending squeeze has been consistent.
You know what’s NOT a fairy tale? Shell and Petrobras drilling in Block 10 in July—next to Block 4.
And when the dust settles, you’ll be standing there, scratching your head, wondering how you missed it. Again.
---
4. Kicked Out for Being a Disruption
Let’s not rewrite history, Peter J. You didn’t leave the group—you were kicked out.
Why? Because instead of contributing anything of value, you disrupted the group, sowed division, and dragged down the collective effort. And when the stakes got high, you were shown the door—for good reason.
Real shareholders work toward success. You, on the other hand, were dead weight.
---
5. Proof Is Coming—But You Won’t Need It
Proof is coming, Peter J. And when it arrives, you won’t need me to show it to you.
Shell’s moves will speak louder than anything I could ever say. The truth has a funny way of surfacing when the stakes are high—and those who stayed the course will reap the rewards.
---
Final Thought:
Peter J, you’re not late to the party—you’re standing outside, watching through the window. And when the real celebration begins, you’ll be left wondering how you missed it all… again.

Ah, SSC—back again with your usual brand of recycled insults and tired narratives. It’s almost impressive how, after all these years, you can still repackage the same nonsense in slightly different words.
Let’s break it down for you:
---
1. July Is a Checkpoint, Not a Deadline
Yes, July is a checkpoint. But unlike your delusional claims that ERHC has nothing left, this isn’t a fabricated deadline—it’s tied to real events.
Drilling in Block 10, bordering Block 4, is a significant event. Shell and Petrobras aren’t playing checkers here. Their moves align with larger strategic goals—and when that drill bit hits the ground, the truth will follow.
---
2. Why Hasn’t the Share Price Moved?
The share price is exactly where it needs to be—for now.
Why? Because we’re not interested in triggering a premature squeeze before the backstop is fully in place. A premature short squeeze, without a solid backstop like a preferred share dividend or a buyout, would let the shorts escape far too easily.
We’re content to let some buying trickle in through SpeedTrader, but only at a level that maintains control and keeps the larger short positions locked in. No squeeze until we’re ready.
---
3. The Calm Before the Storm
This quiet period isn’t stagnation—it’s strategy.
Why rush to move the share price now, when timing is everything? The objective is to maximize pain for the shorts and maximize reward for longs.
When the backstop is ready—and it will be—there will be no escape for the shorts. And when that happens, the price won’t just move—it will detonate.
---
4. SpeedTrader and Triple Zeros? Let’s Not Pretend
Triple zeros mean nothing when the true value is locked behind strategic silence.
SpeedTrader isn’t the endgame. It’s just a quiet holding pattern while the real action unfolds behind the scenes.
---
5. AI or No AI—Facts Are Facts
AI can’t fabricate the truth—and the truth doesn’t need AI to back it up.
The facts remain:
✅ ERHC’s rights in Block 4 are secured.
✅ Shell and São Tomé can’t move forward without addressing ERHC’s position.
✅ The 15% option is intact, waiting for the right conditions to be exercised.
✅ The July drill in Block 10 will likely bring all of this into the light.
---
Final Thought:
SSC, for someone who claims ERHC is worthless and dead, you sure spend a lot of time obsessing over it. But I get it—when you’re trapped in a losing position, denial is the only comfort.
Soon enough, reality will catch up with you. And when it does, no amount of mockery or deflection will save the shorts.

Post Title: Some People Are Always Late to the Party
Response:
Ah, Peter J—good to see that after all these years, you’ve finally realized that shorts exist. Welcome to 2005.
But let’s set the record straight:
The “altruistic gang” you sarcastically mock isn’t as clueless as you once were. These short sellers may not be saints, but they’ve been playing the game masterfully—convincing gullible investors that they’re here to “save” them while secretly profiting from manipulating the stock. You’ve only just caught on to their existence… so how long before you figure out what’s really going on?
As for your 0.0001% probability claim… I suppose that’s about the same chance you’d ever contribute a single cent toward advancing shareholder interests. Funny how you were so eager to ride along for free but never willing to chip in when it mattered.
Timing is everything, Peter J. And while it may take you another 20 years to grasp what’s happening now, those of us who’ve done the work—and actually understand the dynamics—know that success isn’t decades away. The pieces are already in place, and when the outcome unfolds, it’ll be too late for those who refused to see it coming.

Final Thought:
You missed the boat on understanding short selling, and now you’re about to miss the next one on ERHC’s upside. But I suppose some people prefer to stay on the shore, watching others sail away.
— Krombacher
Krombacher

Over the past few days, we’ve had plenty of noise from Badog and SSC, pushing the tired, false narrative that ERHC’s silence equals failure. But as usual, they’ve missed the point completely.
1. Caveat Emptor Status Reduces Disclosure Obligations
Let’s start with the basics:
ERHC’s caveat emptor designation means the company isn’t obligated to disclose material events, including developments tied to Block 4 or any compensation.
Financials are material, and ERHC hasn’t reported them for years—so why would anyone expect them to disclose anything else?
Silence isn’t a sign of failure. It’s a reflection of the reduced reporting requirements under caveat emptor status.
---
2. SEC Dismissal Removes Any Threat of Revocation
Here’s where it gets even more interesting:
The SEC dismissal was due to a control deficiency, which is a procedural issue that had nothing to do with ERHC’s rights over Block 4.
But more importantly…
With the revocation case dismissed, there’s no longer any threat of the SEC revoking ERHC’s registration.
Without the threat of revocation, ERHC has zero incentive to disclose material events prematurely.
Why would ERHC rush to disclose anything when there’s no SEC penalty looming over its head?
---
3. International Caveat Emptor Still Protects Block 4
And here’s the part that shorts refuse to acknowledge:
ERHC’s position in Block 4 remains fully protected by the international caveat emptor.
Shell and São Tomé are bound by this legal safeguard—they can’t proceed with Block 4 without addressing ERHC’s rights.
Failure to honor ERHC’s position would open Shell and São Tomé to serious legal and financial liability.
---
4. ERHC’s 15% Option in Block 4—The Silent Game-Changer
This is where shorts have no answer:
The Shell-ANP-STP PSC assigns 85% of Block 4 to Shell and 15% to ANP-STP.
ERHC holds the option to exercise its 15% stake in Block 4, effectively reclaiming a portion of the upside.
That 15% isn’t locked in—it’s a strategic placeholder that ERHC can seize at the right moment.
If Shell strikes oil in Block 4, ERHC’s 15% option becomes a powerful asset—one that guarantees participation in the upside.
The potential upside isn’t just hypothetical. It’s embedded in the PSC terms, waiting for the right conditions to be exercised.
Any compensation ERHC may have already received is separate from this upside, which remains intact until ERHC decides to exercise the option.
---
5. Silence Protects Legal Leverage—It’s Not a Sign of Loss
Badog asks: “Who’s interest would it serve to keep ERHC’s assets secret?”
Answer: ERHC’s.
Silence protects ERHC’s negotiating position while Shell and São Tomé finalize operational plans around Block 4.
Premature disclosure of compensation or percentage interests would weaken ERHC’s leverage.
Secrecy isn’t about deception—it’s about maximizing shareholder value through calculated silence.
---
6. Contingent Events Are Key—Disclosure Comes When the Time Is Right
Badog and SSC imply that if ERHC had received compensation or maintained rights, they would have disclosed it by now. That’s not how this works.
Compensation and upside interests are likely contingent on successful drilling or other milestones.
Disclosure will occur only after those contingencies are resolved—not before.
July’s drilling in Block 10, which borders Block 4, could be the catalyst that finally resolves these contingencies and forces disclosure.
---
7. Maximizing Pain for Short Sellers with a Backstop
Here’s the part that’s going to sting the shorts:
ERHC’s silence isn’t just about maintaining leverage—it’s about maximizing pain for short sellers.
A preferred share dividend, a cash dividend, or a buyout would act as a backstop, forcing shorts to cover at a much higher price.
By maintaining silence until a backstop is in place, ERHC ensures that when shorts are forced to cover, it happens under the worst possible conditions for them—and the best possible conditions for longs.
The longer ERHC holds off on disclosure, the more trapped shorts become—stuck managing an ever-growing risk that only grows worse as time goes on.
---
8. The SEC Dismissal Gives ERHC Even More Flexibility
This is where shorts have no answer:
Since the SEC case was dismissed, there’s no longer any regulatory pressure forcing ERHC to disclose anything.
Without the threat of revocation, ERHC can strategically time its disclosures to maximize shareholder value and punish shorts.
Silence is now a weapon, not a weakness.
---
9. The Short Seller’s Dream vs. Reality
Let’s break it down:
The short seller’s dream:
Convince shareholders that silence means ERHC has nothing left.
Push the narrative that ERHC lost Block 4, received no compensation, and is now worthless.
The reality:
Block 4 remains protected by the international caveat emptor.
ERHC maintains legal leverage by keeping silent until contingencies are resolved.
Disclosure will only occur when the backstop is ready, ensuring maximum pain for shorts.
The SEC dismissal means there’s no longer any threat forcing ERHC to disclose prematurely.
ERHC’s 15% option in Block 4 remains intact and ready to be exercised when it’s most advantageous.
---
10. What Happens Next?
When the pieces fall into place—likely after the July drill results in Block 10— ERHC will be in a position to:
✅ Disclose material information tied to Block 4’s upside or compensation.
✅ Exercise its 15% option, securing a guaranteed percentage of Block 4’s profits.
✅ Finalize and announce any agreements contingent on drilling success.
✅ Deliver long-awaited news that changes the narrative.
---
11. Silence Is Delayed Disclosure—Not Denial
Badog and SSC want to convince people that silence means ERHC has lost everything. But silence is a strategic weapon that protects shareholder value and maximizes pain for shorts.
With the SEC’s threat gone, ERHC has the freedom to remain silent until it’s ready to strike—and when it does, shorts will feel the full force of the backstop.
---
12. Final Thought: Pain Is Coming for Shorts—And They Know It
To the shorts who are still hanging on—take this as a warning.
The backstop is coming.
The contingencies will be resolved.
ERHC’s 15% option will secure its stake in Block 4’s upside.
And when that happens, the pain will be unlike anything you’ve experienced before.
The quietest moves always produce the loudest results.

If Shell had already fully secured Block 4, there would be little reason not to acknowledge it explicitly.
Shell has fully secured Block 4 with a signed PSC giving them 85% interest (with STP having the remaining 15%, as we know). The non-naming of Block 4 in their report is immaterial, IMO.
Remember when you found the annual report where Shell disclosed that they had taken over BP's interests in Blocks 10 and 13. Here is how they reported that...
New frontiers
In June 2022, Shell secured two blocks in the Open Uruguay Round, which are awaiting government ratification (Shell interest 100%,
operator).
In September 2022, we took over an additional 50% participating interest in two operated blocks offshore Sao Tome and Principe, after the withdrawal of a partner, giving us a total interest of 85% in both blocks.
In December 2022, we completed the farm-out of a 45% non-operated participating interest in a deep-water exploration licence off the Western Cape of South Africa.
https://www.shell.com/investors/results-and-reporting/annual-report-archive/_jcr_content/root/main/section_812377294/tabs/tab_1219767661/text.multi.stream/1742905354181/24ff673614687df7a13f18ce0cbd126cd73bc788/shell-annual-report-2022.pdf
Again, no naming of the EEZ blocks. And, also, no naming of blocks in any country. It appears to be the convention that they have adopted for these reports.
BTW, for those interested, drilling will be taking place in Block 10 in July/August.

Again....ERHC may have filed an International Caveat Emptor to protect it's legal standing but it could have avoided this if they had just produced, after all this time, a plan and a partner that satisfied STP as to the requirements for moving the block forward. Wouldn't that have been a better route to take and saved all this International Caveat Emptor crap? The most obvious reason they didn't settle this with a plan......is that they had none. And STP IMHO finally said 'thats it....no more stalling'. The rights granted did not mean you could tie up this block forever. STP probably called a meeting and told ERHC to present a plan or they were moving on with someone else. And IMHO When ERHC still could not produce a plan or a partner for the block STP gave it to Shell. This is all my opinion naturally but it seems pretty clear to me. And again, I don't believe ERHC will have a very strong case in court as they apparently did not live up to their part of the agreement. Shell IMHO would have never taken the 85% if their legal department thought this would ever be a problem. Seems that they are quite confident that ERHC will not be able to produce any evidence of a plan and therefore they will have no case. And again, IMHO someone may pay ERHC to go away but it won't be a large sum and it will disappear internally in various payments to SEO and PN and any other bills outstanding. I wouldn't count on a dividend, a backstop, or a short squeeze. I would guess this is toast and that all but 70 investors seem to think this is toast. Check the share price. Check the volume. No one believes there will be any percentage awarded to ERHC. And no one believe ERHC has any other assets in Africa that they are hiding from shareholders.

Same chat bot generated bullshit. If there was anything about block 4 that affects erhc in a positive way we'd already know about it. 7 years of ignoring SEC regulations resulting in Caveat Emptor list, Expert Market and share price near zero is not a strategy that rewards stuck erhe shareholders as the share price clearly demonstrates. Your claim that "erhc placed the world on notice" yet share price hasn't budged is just as ridiculous. Your empty claims of naked shorting with no facts to back them up are tired and worn out; you have been making them with all types of attached bullshit (epic short squeeze, African Queen, dividends, drilling results, Total done deal, etc., etc., etc.), for years and years with nothing but humiliation, a reputation as a liar, and huge six figure losses to show for it.

Ssc,
I see you’re back to your usual playbook—recycling DBMM posts, dragging in unrelated arguments, and avoiding any discussion of Block 4. I’ll address your tired routine, but let’s focus on what actually matters.
---
1. Silence Doesn’t Mean Inaction. It Means Strategy.
You keep mocking the “7 years of silence” as though it’s proof that ERHC is dead in the water. But silence—especially in high-stakes negotiations or legal disputes—is often the most strategic move.
Block 4’s status remains unresolved. Shell has locked in 85% of a PSC in São Tomé, but Block 4 isn’t mentioned. That’s not a coincidence—it’s a sign that unresolved contingencies are still in play.
Legal and commercial deals don’t unfold on message boards. If ERHC’s rights to Block 4 were extinguished, there’d be no reason for Shell to stay quiet. Yet here we are—years later—and Shell still hasn’t claimed Block 4 publicly.
As for your claim that “no volume and no dividend” proves ERHC’s worthlessness? Price doesn’t reflect value when information is withheld. And when legal matters are involved, price suppression isn’t a reflection of failure—it’s a delay in recognition.
---
2. Preferred Share Dividend: Still a Valid Strategy.
You can laugh all you want about the preferred share dividend, but facts don’t care about your mockery.
Naked shorts can’t deliver preferred shares. Synthetic shares can suppress price movement, but they can’t replicate preferred dividends. When a preferred share dividend is issued, shorts are forced to cover.
Forced buy-ins and price discovery. Once the dividend record date hits, brokers are required to cover any undeliverable positions—at any price. That’s what triggers short squeezes.
You keep recycling the same DBMM quotes as if that somehow erases how Overstock used this exact strategy to force shorts to cover. The courts upheld Overstock’s right to use a preferred share dividend despite all the noise afterward. And ERHC has every legal right to pursue the same course.
---
3. The International Caveat Emptor: Legal Leverage That Can’t Be Ignored.
You can mock the “international caveat emptor” narrative, but that’s legal fact, not speculation.
ERHC placed the world on notice that any attempt to operate Block 4 without its consent would be met with legal challenges.
Shell’s silence on Block 4 in its strategic report is proof that they’re not willing to touch Block 4 publicly until those contingencies are settled.
If ERHC’s claim was meaningless, why would Shell tread so carefully? You don’t need a PhD in finance to recognize when a company is avoiding potential legal entanglements.
---
4. About Those DBMM Quotes…
Dragging DBMM into this conversation again doesn’t prove anything. Those arguments were already thoroughly addressed and rebutted on that board. If anyone’s interested, they can go back and see how those posters were corrected and educated.
Recycling those quotes doesn’t change the fact that ERHC’s situation is entirely different. Block 4 is protected by legal filings, and Shell’s reluctance to claim it is a ticking time bomb for shorts.
---
5. Why So Nervous, Ssc?
Here’s what’s really happening:
Block 4’s unresolved status has you sweating. You wouldn’t be working this hard to discredit me if you weren’t worried about how this ends.
Preferred share dividends terrify shorts. Because they know they can’t manipulate their way around a backstop that forces them to cover.
Silence from ERHC makes you nervous. Because silence often means legal maneuvering is happening behind closed doors.
If you were as confident in ERHC’s demise as you claim, you wouldn’t need to keep repeating the same insults, dragging in unrelated quotes, and mocking strategies that have proven effective in the past.
---
Final Thought: Karma Works Both Ways
You like to talk about karma biting me, but karma has a funny way of biting those who gloat too soon.
Block 4 isn’t gone.
Legal contingencies remain unresolved.
Preferred share dividends remain a looming threat to shorts.
Patience isn’t a weakness. It’s the pause before the inevitable.
So keep talking, Ssc. The louder you scream, the clearer it becomes that you’re not so sure anymore.

All your conclusions, as you have said many times before while attempting to promote numerous other asinine falsehoods, are not based in reality. What is based in reality is the erhe share price and lack of volume even though erhe shares are now able to be purchased in the U.S. So the real value of all the backstop, naked short selling, international caveat emptor, deep sea diver oil discoveries, African Queen buying, preferred stock dividend, assets acquired "all over Africa by erhc" lmao, epic short squeeze, done deal buyout dickran bullshit adds up to $.0001 and huge six figure losses for erhe's liar-in-chief and largest stuck shareholder guerguerian dickran. Even his/her defective ai chat bot can't produce the 10 cents or even 1 cent/share dickran so desperately craves.
The critical, mocking, and totally accurate responses dickran received on the dbmm board when he/she tried to spew the preferred dividend nonsense there are representative of all his/her thousands of baseless claims, false rumors and outright lies about erhe. They are so spot and revealing that they deserve to be shown again:
Krombacher's posting history PROVES that when he latches on to a stock and starts his NSS spiel... it is just a matter of time until NO BID!
You really need to learn how trading works and stop relying on AI for your posts.
You are grasping at straws and filling people's heads with visions of grandeur. You are predicting action on the part of DBMM, which in all reality WILL LIKELY NEVER OCCUR.
Those cutting, insightful, and totally accurate statements came from people with no knowledge of dickran's erhc embarrassments and overall deceitful message. They came as dickran melted down with 24 posts in 1 day on the dbmm board trying to peddle his/her preferred dividend kaka.
$.0001, no volume, no dividend, no communication from erhc management for 7 years - proving once again that for those who deserve it reality, like Karma, bites.

1. The International Caveat Emptor Protects ERHC’s Rights to Block 4
ERHC didn’t just walk away from Block 4. The company filed an international caveat emptor, which serves as a formal legal warning to any third party attempting to operate Block 4 without ERHC’s consent. This is not speculative—it’s documented and binding.
Why is this important?
Shell’s silence on Block 4. Shell’s 2024 Strategic Report confirms they’ve signed an 85% PSC in São Tomé and Príncipe, but Block 4 is never mentioned. That’s not an oversight. Shell cannot disclose control over Block 4 while ERHC’s legal warning remains in effect.
No public claim means unresolved contingencies. If Shell were confident that ERHC’s rights were extinguished, Block 4 would be front and center in their report. Instead, it’s conspicuously absent, which suggests unresolved legal or commercial matters behind the scenes.
The lack of disclosure is not a mistake—it’s a sign that something is still in play.

2. The Preferred Share Dividend Remains a Powerful Backstop
You can mock it all you want, but the preferred share dividend remains one of the most effective tools against naked shorting. And here’s why:
Naked shorts can’t deliver preferred shares. Synthetic shares can be printed to suppress price movements, but they can’t create preferred shares out of thin air. When a preferred share dividend is issued, naked shorts are left scrambling to deliver something they can’t manufacture.
Forced buy-ins at any price. If shorts can’t meet the obligation to deliver the preferred dividend, brokers are forced to cover by buying shares in the open market—at whatever price is available. This is the exact mechanism that forces price discovery and triggers short squeezes.
Strategic timing breaks suppression. Timing a preferred share dividend around material news—such as drilling or legal developments—maximizes its impact, forcing shorts to unwind positions when they are most vulnerable.
Overstock proved this works. And while Ssc keeps parroting debunked narratives, the legal precedent still stands. Preferred share dividends cannot be ignored by shorts.

3. DBMM Distractions? Already Handled.
Ssc keeps dragging DBMM into this conversation like a crutch. But here’s the reality:
Those arguments were addressed and dismantled on the DBMM board. Anyone interested can go back and see how the preferred share strategy was carefully explained and defended, despite the noise.
Different companies, different contexts. Trying to compare DBMM’s situation to ERHC’s Block 4 leverage is like comparing apples to oil rigs. Block 4’s legal protections and Shell’s silence make ERHC’s case entirely different from DBMM’s scenario.
The DBMM narrative is irrelevant here—and everyone knows it.

4. Badog, About ERHC’s Strategy and Legal Position
Badog, I’ll give you credit for asking the right questions, but sometimes the lack of immediate answers is the answer itself.
Why did Shell take 85% of a PSC but not name partners? Because ERHC’s caveat emptor creates a legal quagmire that hasn’t been resolved yet. Shell won’t openly claim Block 4 until that matter is settled.
Why hasn’t ERHC announced a plan? Because when legal and commercial negotiations are happening behind closed doors, the smart move is silence—not broadcasting strategy to message boards.
Why does Block 4 remain a wildcard? Because Shell knows that ERHC’s legal standing, backed by the caveat emptor, isn’t easily swept aside.
If this were just another dead block, Shell would have claimed it publicly and moved on. The fact that they haven’t should be enough to tell you that the pieces are still on the board.

Final Thought: The Game Isn’t Over
Ssc can recycle his DBMM quotes and mock preferred share dividends all day long. Badog can predict doom and gloom. But Block 4 remains a live asset.
The caveat emptor protects ERHC’s legal rights.
The preferred share dividend remains a valid strategy.
And silence is sometimes the sound of strategic positioning.
Patience isn’t a weakness. It’s the calm before a move.
