Still digging around and I'd say there's definitely legs in this one.
This is going to sound so cliche but (and I am not kidding and not trying to be 'ITK') I contacted one reporter (I'll call him Jim) of a certain website who said in his online article that sources told him the article by ibtimes (I think that's them), revealing that Everbright had come out and said they are not in any talks with FSG are in fact not true.
I got a bit miffed because the title of Jim's article was something like "Everbright confirm they are in talks with FSG", but when I read the article I saw no quotes by any source from Everbright, and so contacted Jim to ask him outright if this was true - if there was an Everbright source and if that source had contacted them and told them the ibtimes article was bogus.
Not only did he say it was true, he also said the Everbright 'source' came to him to put the record straight.
Read into that what you will, but most are now running with the Everbright connection.
EDIT: Or, I might be about to learn a very hard lesson in life
