I am a first time poster. I have enjoyed reading all of the posts over the last few months. My partners and I lent Copper King Mining/Dotson Individually more than 1M over a year ago now. Dotson has used every excuse in the book as to why he has been unable/unwilling to make payments. He has accused us of coercion, said we were loan sharks, said he was on pain killers when he signed the note, etc. etc. etc. In my opinion, Dotson lacks integrity, and is a poor manager. He knows mining, but does not appear to have the capability or know how from a management stand point to bring this thing to the next level. The copper is there--of that there is no doubt; however, if Dotson cannot keep up with his obligations CPRK will fail. I have had contact with the investors holding the first trust deed. they are planning to file a notice of default in January 2010 if Copper King/Dotson has not made real progress. I hope he does for all of our sakes.
