He looked, he said, well, you need a half million dollars.
Yes.
And to his credit for his shareholders, he said, well, I'll need a UCC one, which means he stands in front of all the other creditors, which means if we were to go into bankruptcy, the trustee would not have the ability to make the claim against Vince McMahon, WWE, TNN, et cetera, et cetera, because I've signed that away with the loan.
So he settles a case before it's ever filed for half a million dollars.
That half a million dollars bought us another seven months of being alive because we weren't going to survive that July without that half a million dollars.
So he did a secured priority loan for half a million dollars.

So for the accountants to take a look at all the books and to buy us the time not to be pulled into an involuntary bankruptcy by somebody, we will own $83,500 to make payroll that week so that we can survive the week for WWE to look at the books.
And those were the three payments, the $1,000 per week every week through bankruptcy, the half-million-dollar loan in July 2000, the $83,000, I think it was $83,000 or $88,000, $500 in December 2000.
There was no other payments made by WWE.
There was no other secret funding.
