I figure most of the paperwork has been completed and it is just a matter of getting a judge to sign off on the foreiture then the sign off on the sale to GBT
with a few holidays in there for christmas and new years , not sure how much longer it would take considering 90% of the "leg work" has already (or seems to be)done.
OK, that is understandable.
I was under the impression that the GBT/DoJ negotiations went on for longer than two weeks - that it was something like two weeks between agreement in principle and signing of the letter agreement, but that there had been ongoing negotiations for a lot longer before the agreement in principle.
Certainly Ifrah made it sound like the FTP/GBT negotiations only really happened in the two weeks following the GBT/DoJ letter agreement.
FWIW , I think the FTP/DoJ settlement discussions are the most complex of the three, and will therefore take the longest amount of time. OTOH, they have probably been going on for months. No telling when they will conclude. The GBT/FTP agreement should be the simplest and shortest. I doubt that the DoJ settlement will be concluded (not including going to the judge with it) before Christmas, but I have no compelling argument to offer in support of that view, so I can't say that my estimate of February or later is any better than yours.
BTW, I have responded to a lot of our posts recently. I don't mean to be trolling you -you just have more interesting things to say.
