Inever said that they cleaned up. I said that they had a buyer in- line. A sale of $44 million taking place in a period of only 3 months from the time the property legally becomes available is pretty darned unusual. While its always possible that someone just happened upon the property and made a bid and closed the deal in 90 days, more likely, the Kapplans were approached well before they got permission to make the sale. I suspect that their final decision to go public with their reservations was triggered by a solid buy inquiry. Similarly, Chopra was alreaady well-out-of the TMO for nearly a year before the TMO announced that he was gone. A canny businessman doesn't just pack his bags and leave without having something waiting for him if he can help it. ------------------------ Yahoo!
