First thing I thought. f*** 'em, Moat in.
First thing that came to my kind as well. Stump up the cash quickly or f*** off basically.
The whole thing (welcome, if it was real) sounds very contrived, to me. Don't believe it.
Llambiarse was publicising the deal with the Graham Roberts fans bid last week which turned out to be a storm in a tea cup. I hope this is different obviously, but it all seems a bit late to be going through due diligence at this stage.
If they are making a bid, DD is done i think.
"Geoff is dealing with Keith Harris and we are still waiting for proof of funds."
Wasnt proof of funds necessary before access to the data room was granted? And as far as I understood that data room was quite important regarding due diligence?
