Late ? I call BS on that. I, & I think most of the business world would argue that point quite strenuously. The so-called 'late' penalty was for a payment made (in-full) on the 'next business day' (a Monday) after the Sunday due date...likewise, the 'pre-payment' penalty was supposedly triggered by a payment made (in-full) on the 'last business day' (a Friday) before the Saturday due date.
Looking at the details of these alleged contract loan term infractions, it seems to me that most of these charges against QMC should rightly come under the heading of 'malicious prosecution' & be subject to a counter-suit for damages to that effect. I don't know if 'malicious prosecution' can be invoked in private lawsuits &/or jurisdictions with somewhat dubious legal systems (like Kansas & Florida from what I've read), but it sure as hell seems warranted in these cases. I've heard 9/10ths of the law is supposed to be based on 'intent' & you'd have to be deaf & blind not to see the insidiously corrupt intent at the core of these micro-technicality-based complaints. The incredible assertions that a pre-payment penalty is due because they paid on a Friday, when it was due on a Saturday....or a late charge penalty because they paid on a Monday instead of the Sunday due date are beyond belief. Both of these payments were obviously made in good faith & in keeping with long-standing 'traditional & accepted' next business day banking procedures in-mind....despite the catch-all (loan shark) wording in the original loan instruments that dictated the 'exact' day...which I suspect. were both deliberately set for a weekend so they could play this nasty little end-game, which they've likely used on others before. I hope that among their many victims somewhere in time, these predators are shown how to take a long walk on a short pier.

Like this previously mentioned site for SV start-ups...all 500 of them, most, if not all of these start-ups are IT services with some science-based enterprises mixed-in & they're likely not traded on any exchange....so to go along with that, here's a new service called Equityzen, that claims they can act something like a transfer agent to trade privately in 'pre-IPO' stocks. Note; I haven't done any DD on any of these companies, so I'll leave that up to you...good fortunes to you:

To be fair, Subsidy this:
"global fossil fuel subsidies were $5.3 trillion in 2015, which represents 6.5% of global GDP" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_subsidies
Then add-in longterm LCOE factors like clean-up & the lingering effects of fracking & it all becomes a mirage'.
