    The odds are always long with something like this and any deal involving Bernie is suspect but the Texas crew have more credibility than they did last week.
    Any estimates as to when the earth must begin moving for their deadline to be considered achievable?

    The schadenfreud probably rests with Mr. Ecclestone right now. He is, no doubt, licking his chops in anticipation of the penalties he will collect if Red McCombs is unable to deliver by 2012.

    "The schadenfreud probably rests with Mr. Ecclestone right now."



    Kind of sad that someone at the local NBC affiliate in Austin can't spell, but I see more and more of that.

    Maybe "delude" would be more appropriate.

    Reading that news account tho...it IS at variance to David Moore's statement in another thread that when he saw the prospectus and offered additional investors they said they "had it covered " and TURNED HIM DOWN........


    Hmmmm.....


    See? There's a little bit of uneasiness in the cash flow of this thing.......Tavio's Dad is in Mexico City.....Mexico City has money.....money from Mexico City.......

    This thing would be a good way to launder a half billion dollars.....in Tshirt sales........

    I have never been privy to their "prospectus" and never stated that I had.

    However, I did state that I had offered them "a solo" investor to the tune of up to $250MM if they needed help as we want to make sure this really happens. Upon which they promptly turned me down telling me they had "all" of their financing in place.

    I too noticed the plea for cash in the press conference. However, if you listened carefully it was stated they do not want further investors but need to raise additional capital.

    McCombs in the mix might seem to add credibility and $$$/resources.
