Gee, I was wondering where you disappeared - only to find out you will be leaving. Sorry things didn't work out better. I just had to deal with a major security breach myself recently. What a pain! Cash flow problems are one of the biggest causes of business failure, if not the biggest. Banks are not usually very helpful unless you can prove you don't need the money. Ironic. Good luck in your new pursuits.
