What's the first sign? Proably it'll be folks not getting paid and Big B saying, "Marishy wants you to work with us....we're trying to sell some properties."
Hey, here's the idea: make those Vedi buildings into condos....transform MUM into a retirement community....all the pundit boys could do lawncare. Given the past, we can expect that most folks won't be told anything until literally the last minute -- some cop arrives to let a creditor take a computer to put up for auction, bam, like that. I hope it's the course office they hit first. I'd drive to FF to see that and have the delightful moment when these pale-assed wraiths slowly emerge from the emptied building and, you know, start shuffling around eating brains.
