The closing price on 8 August was 1.2c, (https://www.fma.govt.nz/news-and-res...ngs/mr-talbot/) so $10,000 is correct the share price they quoted was wrong. Also, I believe the story has got the current value wrong. There was a 25 to 1 share consolidation in 2015 (https://www.plexure.com/investor-new...-consolidation) so he now has 40,000 shares. At 53c this has a current value of $21,200.
