Internal email discussing failed options trades and alleged mismanagement at Alpha Group Capital

This morning the pricing is as follows: Aug 200 Puts cost $4.10 Sept 200 Puts cost $7.90 Earning are on 08/30. So worst case is the uncertainty lingers until then which would argue to buy the Sept puts. However | still prefer buying the Aug puts as | would fully expect more clarity from management before August expiry.
