According to the deleted post, the deal was valued at $150 million. A copy of the post is available at the link.

Head of Sino Global Capital, Matthew Graham, suggested that this acquisition would be announced again soon. It is likely that this involved a breach of the embargo on publishing the news before a specified time.

Deleting a few tweets until tomorrow when you’ll see them again 🙂
