I have no information on this character other than what you previously posted. Apparently, his most recent offer to you is as good as his previous promises. He obviously has no idea what slander means but that is also keeping with some of his other comments. What ever his current situation, it seems like it was of his own making.

Has he been in the board biz for 30 years? Is he even close to that age? If not, how would he know how bad biz was back then? More smoke.
