Notable Quotes 3
Both brothers maintain leverage against their shares of ETE.
When ETE fell from $20 to $4 in 2016, he was probably close to 100% LTV with $500mm of debt.
Unless we can find a way to develop a meaningful lending relationship, I don't see opportunities for other business from the two brothers.
Red Flags 3
- Adam is extremely levered against his art, real estate and ETE shares.
- Adam has little cash flow despite asset-based wealth.
- Adam owns another Montauk property that he has not been able to sell at a $40mm asking price.
