i wouldn't suppose what someone does or does not know. What are these things Ventana wants done to close the loan??? When did they write this letter? You have no idea. we've already seen volk take aggressive actions to satisfy what appear to be very logical terms and conditions. 1. get expensive tony mason out the door with his crappy well. 2. eliminate convertible debt unrelated to vm-179. gooo, volk. he's getting the job done. i say the third step, settling with montecito, will happen next week. if you disagree, show me the facts to support that claim.
