She might be thinking of ....

.... Al Refkin being a member of the advisory board of US Business Finance , a business financing company which claims Chas Fritz as having been a long time 'member of the team'.

Chas there:

And here , which says Chas is also the Founder and Chairman of the Board of US Business Finance.

Is it odd that NeoMedia would pay Al Refkin so much as a 'consultant' when Chas could have put NeoMedia directly into contact with Cornell himself?

From US Business Finance: "Once we understand the basics of your deal, we will target and contact the lenders that most closely match your borrowing requirements. The goal of this initial contact is to find a lender willing to issue a Letter of Interest (LOI)to fund your deal."

Al Refkin there 'in the past' , don't know about 'now'.
