In terms of leases, showing you have money isn't the same as proving you are financially stable. It is likely the lease is over a year and a reasonable and prudent property owner knows rent isn't the only financial obligation to a business, and showing you have money now doesn't mean you will have it later. Unless this money was used for a significant down payment, it would only have been a small factor in examining BRGO's ability to fulfill its financial covenant.
You then of course would have to accept the premise that the cash strapped BRGO would have held on to that money for over 8 months since taking the loans, which I find impracticable.
The most logical explanation (to me) is Berge has been wanting this, but couldn't either get accepted, or justify it to himself financially to apply.
