You email the CEO? Really? what did you ask him?
Here are some questions you should ask:
1. How much does the company still owe on those loans?
2. what is the current O/S?
3. Where is the company located? IN WHAT STATE?
Do you understand the significance of question #3? We don't even know what STATE this company is located in now.
