[Cynnabar] Settlement

[Kevin Lemon]

I have a couple of questions.

I have not spent hours on end reading everything I can about this whole
mess, but from what I understand  a settlement was reached last Oct.. Dose
anyone know why we are hearing about the need for money at the 11th hour?
Did the BOD just find out that the insurance company were not going to hold
up their end?

Also there was mention of 18% from Gulf Wars and Pennsic. Was this profits
from  2011, 2010? My thought is any profit would be in the kingdoms bank
account that hosted the war of which they are already getting 18% of?

I may have missed something, if anyone could shed light on this, that would
be great.
