Dear Praetor,
Don't worry. This new investor is the deal maker.
I am optimistic now than last year after knowing that Anthony Steains (an Australian) of Compardor, Hong Kong, the acquisition deal maker, is willingly to invest his own private company (Sea Honour Limited, Hong Kong)'s money of $100,000 to SDL.
Generally, the deal maker only receives the money from client. Therefore, it is unusual that a deal maker is fully commited to put his or her own money in the client's company. This signals to me that Anthony/the deal maker is very confident in the future prospects of the SDL project.
