I agree Bruce. The very idea that Perry did all of this just to make the lenders rich is outrageous, and just plain dumb. He got himself in trouble with borrowing from the wrong people, believing he could produce enough gold quick enough to pay them off and be done with them.
As for his hiring abilities in getting the right people to run the mine, he wasn't a very good judge of character or management.His lead geologist and mining Supervisor were total busts, he had too much faith in them and got burned like the rest of us. jmho
