My source who is Managing Director, Head of Debt Capital Markets at Macquarie, meaning the one to whom all the chits are being funneled, told me the commitments would be flowing in on Thursday so that the transfer to Crystallex could be made on 12/23.

He continued, he would call me back on Thursday when it would be clearer if the amount raised was sufficient or not.

He never called back, so I called in. I spoke with his executive assistant. She said he was at a meeting most of the day. I left with her a message to call me back. He never did.

I sent off an email to him Thursday night. Over the past week he had responded to three previous emails. He didn't respond to my latest one.

Was it naive of me to expect to get info in this manner? Maybe so, but I figured no harm in trying.
