In spite of our lead pipe certainty that this thing is going to fly, my exposure is totally reckless by any rational measure

To resort to those measures, still hinging on CUU performance, but even more reckless than where I am now, is for me, a bridge too far

They simply need to do what they have promised to do

I may explore incurring the IRS penalties for late payment since I don't have a clue what those might amount to, but I don't think I will ratchet my exposure to this by any riskier tactics
