I find it somewhat amusing that the above story relates to the
shortfall of $70 M for this project.
If $70 M represents a major backers investment ,then where exactly is
the other $630 M coming from , minor backers possibly.
AS Ive stated before , if all that is stopping this project is a $70 M
shortfall , then Mr Burke can simply cough up another $70 M.
Strange that we havnt heard who is supplying the other $630 M.
