I remember telling wifey when the LS first came out... (as a sort of joke)... "This would be the perfect deal to run right before closing up the place. The perfect hit and run"...

I wonder if Jim posted the LS deal with full knowledge that he was soon to be run out out of the joint.... perhaps he felt he was entitled to a ROI and he knew the bottom was dropping out- so he brought in a 3rd party (with insurance).

This whole thing could be a well crafted scheme.
