I KNOW your arsenal is higher quality than.....

Pat Murphy, a retired AFL-CIO NY guy of some sort, spoke on this AMs CONF CALL, the same rhetoric as Barry Vigoda (who wasn't on CONF cause he didn't get his $25K for squat)  and then some: Murphy feels like he's "owed" $2.5MM in (liquid) reserve, from which these "Hoffas" freely dip into along the way towards some "oblivious closing date"...(smell like a hustle yet?)
But - fully opposite to the spirit of reciprocity, Pat would "breach Confidentiality" by "exposing" any of his/AFLs/Projects' past funding successes. Are you serious ?

Wouldn't you be proud of any of your past funding successes..? 
Murphy will neither disclose the "AFLCIO Fund" he's accessing - nebulous...but incredibly specific @ good faith ASAP payments ! 
No problem there, of course...

Does something stink with these hucksters...?

Suggest Nick do a little vetting from hereon. At the Refinery Capex, even known Wall Street Firms gladly handed over past successes (tombstones) to assist in vetting/trust-factor - but, Vigoda & Murphy dial out on that standard-op protocol, because of  "the Confidentiality ploy" - listen: if they've funded Projects in the past, I can assure you, those Funded Projects are more than ready to be their vigilant cheerleaders. 
Even DeutscheBank - World's Largest Bank & it's NYC 60 Wall Street VP, gladly turned over to me & Chester tombstones for us to freely establish a modicom of Trust & Protocol. That's how Legits do it.

I could give you one of several tombstone resumes, ranging from $480MM to $5MM Cap stacks, from FINRA B/Ds or Private/Hedge Funds seriously analyzing/underwriting Term Sheets for this Refinery - they have nothing to be ashamed of.

Draw your own conclusions...We definitely have.
