I am Ray is still there until the end of the year.

Don't know if "financial trouble" is the word. More like has a good way of avoiding payment until the last last possible minute, and even a bit later. This can be construed as being on the ropes or just a different business morality to what you or I might use.

He sure paid up those companies that he used to cross hire when he needed them.

Ray can't go on for ever, and having been (an outsider) in the chaos of Allday Everyday, I have yet to see another person work as long and as hard hours as he.

It has the trouble of being almost an unsellable business. There are not many other companies that have their clients' ATM cards in alphabetical order in business card holders at thier front counter.

"Yes Sima Poppumawari, we can pick you up from Snake Bay. What's your Pin Number?"

Now if the runours of the many many thousands owed to Air Ngukurr are true, what better way to arrange a sale. "I'm not going to pay up in a hurry, and can fend off your lawyers with ease, but give me an extra $X 000 and the whole business is yours."

Like lambs to the slaughter, these are the days of our lives.
