Minuitae, valuepro? There is nothing trivial about $25,489 per month in salaries ($305,872 per year), especially when you are claiming that Briscoe doesn't take any for himself. Also not trivial when you see that they are borrowing over $48,000 a month at 12%.
I do agree that it's late in the game to be examining this, but a lot of people, including me, were caught up with the "any-day now carrot" paired with not wanting to lose on existing investment with the ever-declining value.
Chalk it up to a nasty lesson learned, but posting BS and trivializing and mocking research makes me wonder more about you than Briscoe.
