No cash for Payroll It was always driven by - negative cash - first and foremost - then to close by X date - as warn act is a personal liability Sent from my iPad On May II, 2018, at 9:20 PM, Jeffrey E. <[email protected]> wrote: EFTA01061626 I had asked a simple -why the mad rush , in the middle of the attempted sale.
