it's all very well guessing that finance news is coming but no one has any definitive proof and the evidence looks lame.
Paula Brancato is supposed to be a " finance fixer " from what I understand but all we've had so far are some offers from a couple of chancers .......one aussie and a Nigerian trader, neither of which amounted to anything.
I cannot see any Bank financing what is for them a high risk operation, can you imagine the conversation.
Bank: Good morning Mr Asher, how can I help you.
JA: I'd like to borrow $16million to go and drill for some oil offshore Cameroon. It has an eighty per cent chance of success
Bank: And what kind of collateral do you have.
JA: Eeeerrrrrrrrr ...........well nothing really but if it all goes well then we should make lots of money.
Bank: What could go wrong then.
JA: Oh, the usual sort of things like the drill bit breaking, unexpected difficult strata, problems with the drill string......you know. And of course we won't know for sure until we hit target depth.
Bank: And what would happen if things did go wrong.
JA: Well I'd just have to say terribly sorry old chap but you've just lost all your money.
Bank: Get the **** out of my office !
