Given that a closing occured, money had to have been raised from somewhere to pay for the property, and you mention that you don't have all the private money you are expecting yet. Does this mean that money has been "borrowed" from the patient care fund for this purpose? If so, how much money? Was this in the form of a loan to Cryonics Property, LLC or was this in the form of an investment in Cryonics Property, LLC? We heard promises at one point that if less than $400,000 had been raised by the LLC from sources other than Alcor itself that there would be no purchase. Does this mean that this much has in fact been raised from outside sources, or has the board decided to commit a third of the patient care fund to an investment in Arizona commercial real estate? On a slightly different topic, I still haven't heard an answer to my question that I posted to the politics subgroup a few weeks ago during the "great eerie silence" following the board elections, which was this: is Alcor in fact running an operating deficit, how large is this loss, and what does my board of directors plan to do to stop the loss if it exists?
