I wonder Hey Tim, they are leading you on. Lying to you, pulling the wool over your eyes, not being truthful.
You calling them weekly to see where the money is doesn't constitute a review of the situation.
You are keeping your options open, they are keeping their options open. At this point, they probably want to renogiate lower.
If Tim was smart he'd be pushing hard with the other potential investors at the same time as ramming this project forward. Get the paperwork submitted. It strengthens your position. I thought you were ready to go once you got your Certificate. Get it in. It gives you leverage.
Yeesh! He lives in another world.
