2. 'Shortly'? days/weeks/months? Is 'shortly' just a placeholder guess because you don't know how long but think it will follow a timeline that you subjectively consider to be quick? Or do you have a specific (albeit rough) timeline for these events that you could objectively quantify as being 'short'?
I'm not sure the last time was when I was accused of being coy, but lets call it careful instead.
Look, I could tell you it might happen in 3 days, but then when it takes 2 weeks instead, I am accused of not being honest. If I say a month, and it happens in 3 days, I look like I just took a guess out of thin air. Its a no-win really.
I can tell you that there are four parties to consider here: GBT, FTP, the DOJ and the Judge in the case.
If it was up to GBT and/or FTP, I can tell you that both are totally committed to get this done as a priority. The DOJ, as much as we would like to think that we are the most important thing in their world, actually can be busy with other cases as well. Keep in mind, no matter how you celebrate, its the holiday season. That means vacation time etc, for key personnel, possibly even the Judge.
I can tell you that it could happen in a week or two. Factor in the holidays, could be a little longer. Remember there are additional steps to happen after this, but make no mistake, todays report is HUGE.
We have said all along that no one was being paid by Xmas, it just was not possible. That said, the updates we have presented should help everyone understand that GBT and FTP have been working round the clock, along with the DOJ, to move it along.
