So Stenger and Q Sr have no other funds to access other than the ones the state tied up?

This thing is such a funky deal......

The headline with this one was that an investor put in $550k, was turned down by the Feds, and Stenger and Company could not refund the money when needed and did not do so for months:

Six days later, Stenger told Fullam that there is “a funding issue” with the refund that is associated with the larger problems affecting the Q Burke construction project.

Yikes. I am getting sick. Hope that this is short-lived.

Anyone else coincidentally just get an Email from Burke urging you to book your room now for the December 11th Grand Opening?

I am very interested in the third party audit firm......imagine what its like being asked to make sure books and records are all set while under the gaze of an SEC investigation.

for those who think this reeks of ponzi... I am not so sure. if something stinks here its going to be the array of companies created and Ary Sr. grabbing a buck everywhere he can where funds pass through the chain. Too much development for it to be ponzi, the funds clearly havent dissapeared!

Just for additional debate, say you are right about this whole thing and it completely blows up.

What happens to all of the properties?

The Hotel is owned by the investors. Got to think about what would happen.

Yeah I agree. Hope it's all fine though. We don't need another failed regime.

According to the Caledonian Record about $3.1 million has been paid leaving $900,000 unpaid. $387,000 is overdue. The contractor is still saying he "might" walk off the job.

The dispute is about whether furniture, fixtures and equipment are part of what is to be covered and paid.

Yeah we joke about a ponzi, but it isn't really the deal here. Just a bunch of shell company nightmares to track things through. Accounting nightmare surrounded with the stink of the eb5 program.

If the hotel opening is delayed, I wonder if the ambitious snowmaking start date will be delayed. But of course Mother Nature may have the last word anyway...
