INPX 10-Q mentioned a $500,000 loan being made to XTI PRIOR TO their announcement of the Definitive Merger Agreement. That would definitely support my suspicion that 1) XTI and INPX have had a merger agreement in place before the public announcement; and 2) that prior agreement was obviously brokered by Maxim working with the approval (if not under the direction) of XERI -- which originally brought Maxim into the merger discussion.
