      "text": "heart of the company's future - the SRR and Teal 3 - his resignation appears baffling at first glance. It makes a lot more sense, though, in the context of the original Teal acquisition and its terms. Recall that Matus had negotiated to receive millions of dollars of Red Cat stock in the event that the Golden Eagle had cleared certain revenue hurdles. None of the revenue hurdles were ever cleared, though, and Matus had his first experience with management's grandiose assurances ending in disappointment. As we chronicled in this report, that pattern played out repeatedly since the acquisition of Teal in a host of different areas - manufacturing capacity, sales channel expansion, and customer acquisition, to name a few.",

In the next few weeks, Red Cat will be finalizing its SRR contract with the Army. The official announcement made by Red Cat will probably follow the historical pattern - grand announcement with impressive headline numbers, but details that are less than meets the eye. Don't be fooled. Red Cat's future is going to look very similar to its past: high hopes grounded by reality.",

The fact that he left Red Cat to help found a new company is further confirmation that his resignation is a vote of no-confidence in Red Cat's future.
