There's a business model in making loans where what you REALLY want is to get ownership of the collateral pledged for the loan. This might well be a case of it. >From what I've read on this one, Leibovitz has participated quite heavily in creating this situation; it's not a case of somebody doing everything right and getting dumped on anyway. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
