Dear Tim I just wanted to hear straight from you are you really the broker that assisted apuron in the action hotel transaction? You might have been asked or responded to this accusation before maybe but I would like to know. Sincerely a concerned catholic.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous. 1) I am not a broker. 2) I did not get my real estate license until 2005, 3 years after the Accion Hotel transaction. Thanks for the opportunity to clarify.
DeleteTim, thanks for all that you do. Just wanted to share I had a good early morning entertainment reading the comments section of the PDN Jan 27th article. The kikos just can't resist the "evil" Jungle. Also, it was interesting to read a comment about the infamous "manila envelope" given to the pope, followed by signature kiko threat.
ReplyDeleteYes, "signature kiko threat" pretty much describes it. Thanks.
DeleteIs a count up needed after the Apostolic visit to see how long it takes for some action to happen or has it happened already
ReplyDeleteA "count up" would work against us. When Rome moves, they want as little attention paid to the move as possible. In fact, I had hoped to tone down this blog after my talk with the visitors, but AAA and his "fellas" up on the hill amped up the attacks even before the visitors got on the plane. So that's why I'm still here.
