Good response from DK, although no "bankers/ lenders" attend these conferences, there is a remote chance that a partner will be found for Chad, which will help bail ERHC out of its financial woes. IMO, the money spent on this confence still it not justified, but it could happen. I am not holding my breath waiting for a partner coming out of this conference. Also, if it is true ERHC is still looking for a new partner, does this mean all the so called other pending partners have gone by the way side. I sure hope not, as I was under the impressions negotiations were going on and nearing completion.
