[QUOTE="Jedion357, post: 8800064, member: 7036217"] I keep going back to this picture and the early days of this crap show when Earnie and Duck were "partners". How does one become a partner? By volunteering? or by investing? There is a persistent rumor that Duck sold property and just recently someone suggested to me that Ernie had access to Mamoreal Tomb money So despite all the denials I seriously think these two brought money to the table. In the early days of the dumpster fire there was cash being thrown around 70k to purchase the building and its reported to be a cash purchase and 10k to buy the D&D collection and any other cash would likely have been burned through on the remodel and stuff. The early assumption was that Lanasa being a business man brought the financing. I don't think he did. Sure running a tattoo shop keeps him flush with cash but most of his money is tied up in the 20 some odd properties he owns in NC. Why was the DHSM building bought with cash instead of leveraging equity in the NC properties? My belief is that Ernie and Duck foolishly committed cash to Justin's hands and Lanasa has set this all up on other peoples money. he tried to use other peoples money to fund the lawsuit with WotC which failed and he sold a property in NC in January most likely to cover the mounting legal fees. In the early days Duck and Ernie were touted as partners but once the lawsuit was started and WotC counter sued I think fear set in for Duck and Ernie and they got manipulated to say they were only volunteers and that Justin would take the heat. If they lack paper on that partner deal, and that is possible, they have to trust promises from Lanasa like Ernie said to me. Lanasa is laughing in that they've stated they are volunteers and if they cant prove the investment then he can blow them off for the money. He can also keep them holding on and volunteering hoping he makes good on his promises. If they don't do what he wants they can kiss that money goodbye. This is what I think is going on and the hold that Lanasa has over these two. EDIT: My theory effectively makes Duck an indentured servant to Lanasa. [/QUOTE]
