Are you serious? You are talking like $400,000 is barely above the poverty level. Give me $400,000 a couple times and I could retire.
A company takes a $1.7M loss for the year, the CEO pays himself 1/4 of that, which is more than the annual revenues, and you act like it's no big deal.
Congratulations on the mess you made of things; On trying to reconstruct the air and all that brings. And oxidation is the compromise you own but this is beginning to feel like the dog wants a bone.
