Mortimer,
Tyhee is a "distressed" company, and therefore is in a weakened negotiating position, especially as the price of gold is also terrible.
But, if I am correct in my understanding of RMB's position in all these drawn out negotiations, their goal is to not only get repayment on their loans to Tyhee and to Sutter, but also to see these debtors succeed in their own endeavors.
That said, I expect RMB, as enormously supportive as they have been already, will substantially help in securing the best possible deal for Tyhee and Sutter.
