You do have to wonder just how the hell they mange to pay the rent, keep their houses (and it's a FACT someone was "imminently" and "irrevocably" going to get turfed out a few months ago) pay lawyers and feed their families given the gravy train dried up some time ago.

I don't believe someone is drip feeding them and therefore there's hope, but they clearly have been pulling in cash from somewhere.

I doubt any lawyers, landlords, or anyone with 1/10000th of a brain would let these guys operate on credit given their track record and trading position.
