LOL, you haven't answered any of his questions. You just turn around and ask a question and then attack and make put downs.

Marquest acquired Consolidated's holdings - what, do you think they wouldn't have done any due diligence on the assets they're acquiring? Of course they would have. They would also have had to figure out how much to pay for them, so they'd be looking at valuations and management. Instead, you say they 'cut a deal' - answer the question posed to you, what was the deal if you're so knowlegeable. The problem is, of course, and why you don't answer, is that they didn't 'cut a deal', they did what any investment firm would do in their position.
