Bob the maintenance guy still on post at the potted palm in the lobby. I'll send G Gordon Liddy to the dead drop with a message. Liddy has skills after all, and impeccable discretion. We should have confirm of the buyout soon.
Nobody has even suggested that the ATM being dropped suggests a buyout. Except you. There is no connection between the two, logically. If there was going to be an imminent buyout they would have no need for a shelf at all.
