CLoset..I believe as you do that NP was hinting generally speaking, that the Fife deal on its face would look better to the shareholders later, once it was reviewed for its contents and implications.
The return of the 7.5 Million a month over four months indicated to me at best bridge money. The company account would financially swell later, from other sources known only by insiders. The rest that you have outlined in the last paragraph seems reasonable.
