Member: Good Evening Mark, Mods and Everyone
MZ: I had conversations with Iraqi contacts and they are looking squarely at Tuesday of this upcoming week.
MZ: I still have bond folks who have not yet received dollars. Depending on which bond deal…they are expecting 1 to 15% at any moment…..they told me today is still a possibility…but most likely on Sunday and Monday. ..
MZ: I spoke to another large group with thousands of people in it……and folks there were told to expect to be completed within the next 2 weeks. That doesn’t mean we are waiting that long….it means they expect to have them done and completed.
MZ: We can certainly start before they are done. This is just another indicator we are very soon.
Member: So bonds start, CMKX and settlements start Groups start and we start…….check.
MZ: I do not have an update on what to expect yet on delivery timings for CMKX …..but news today seems very solid .
Member: People installing a new atm in NorCal admitted to me it was for the new currency.
Member: On the BIG CALL, last night. Bruce said, "Bond Holders are getting access to 5% with the remaining 15% - total 20% by or on Tuesday the 1st."
MZ: So he is hearing similar things to what I am hearing.
Member: I really hope you both are right.
Member: MarkZ think this will happen before Chinese New Year?
Member: it better start soon then……
Member: China shuts down the first for two weeks for Chinese New Year's ….what do you think of that…. If it doesn’t go before that ….imo…. it's going to be after the 15th February
Member: hope your NDA doesn’t kill my birthday song on Monday!!
Member: I hope it does….lol
Member: Let’s sing the song “we’re in the money”
MZ: I will be back tomorrow unless bonds start paying tonight…..in which case I will be back sooner.
