I do find it a little weird as didn’t Elliot said himself he was looking to be on the board and gave the impression that he was already a director.
Not sure what’s going on there !
Almost certainly a condition of Directorship that you have to put money in. Elliott hasn’t put any of his own money in. As ever, he’s elevated his own profile by riding on the financial coattails of others. Like the whole Sharp / Elliott thing last Christmas / New Year. It was only Sharp that had funds.
