I checked him out yesterday with my Related contact(who is now at Silverstein who worked on the deal with him) and got a good report. Interested what Steve Ross would say as well. As I mentioned before, I think if it might be possible to do this in a LLC which we can jointly control with Samson entity EFTA_R1_01488719 EFTA02422163
