<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 1966354, member: 71723&quot;]People really need to understand the atmosphere at Chicago. The mega-dealers had their lawyers ON SITE, not just on the phone, and every time the ANA floated an idea to stem the gold madness, the lawyers&nbsp; were all over Rhonda, Ostromecki, and the ANA&#039;s solicitor. They were ready to march right into court - UNTIL the Mint decided to end it after Thursday&#039;s sales. You can screw around with ANA&#039;s legal staff, but the US Gov has staff lawyers. No additional costs, just salaries they pay anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>Who were these guys? Lee Minshull, L&amp;C, SilverTowne, MarcOne, some Chinese dealer whose name I forget, and a few more. They invested several $100,000 up front and NEEDED JFK&#039;s to turn a profit due to the obscene infrastructure they had built up front. Some had advertised all over Chicago media for weeks to recruit and pay ($100 in advance, even if they got no coin) their paid line waiters. Every idea floated by ANA to help the situation met with objections from the Mint, the big dealers&#039; lawyers, or both.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
