And they said the merger partner was "arranging" for the 65mm financing. Here is more on Jonathan Lim:

Jonathan Lim Crimson CEO has extensive experience in china as you can see and I would be willing to bet some contacts to big money over there. So would it be reasonable to assume HHSE and Crimson merge with Mr.Lim being key here and with him having done extensive business in china and having contacts he is arranging for the financing of this newly merged company? And Starry tied into it somehow as well. Hard to say for sure until the news is released. Crimson Forest has a Shanghai office as well.
