Mark Walter’s Gordian Knot: The Deferrals
Trying to understand the ongoing financial morass that is the Mark Walter Investigations story is a bit like trying to untangle the Gordian Knot, the literal knot of antiquity whose legend prophesied that whoever untangled it would rule all of Asia. Alexander the Great literally cut the knot with his sword, demonstrating lateral thinking, and […]
