19:07when the biggest name in town buys you dinner only a fool says no what can i do for you
19:11richard i'll be
19:12direct someone is buying up main street systematically aggressively every acquisition runs through a
19:17delaware shell called morrison capital holdings and every legal document traces back to your firm
19:22i have hundreds of clients richard i can't discuss any of them attorney-client privilege
19:25i'm sure you understand you have lawyers of your own privilege of course but let me share
19:28something that isn't privilege in four months i've lost 12 tenants six commercial leases and
19:3240 of my quarterly revenue that's not competition that's a siege and sieges have generals
19:37sounds like the market is shifting main street is evolving a new steakhouse a
19:41jewelry store they bring foot traffic that should help your properties not hurt them
19:44let me show you something interesting every one of these businesses ember crown and ash the boutique
19:48on fifth they all had critical events on the same dates lease signings opening supply contracts
19:52and on every one of those dates a part-time worker at one of these establishments happened to have the
19:56day off from his regular job a waiter at the diner across the street from ember a waiter richard
20:01you're telling me a diner waiter is behind a 300 million dollar acquisition campaign that's
20:05creative his name is jake morrison the holding company is called morrison capital you don't
20:09find that interesting morrison is the seventh most common surname in this state i have three
20:13morrison's in my phone book and none of them own a diner that diner by the way the one across
20:18from me to make a decent apple pie should try it sometime if you haven't already he has the
20:21timeline he has your name he made a point of mentioning maple diner he wanted me to react and
20:25jake i think i did just for a second how long do we have he's gonna pull your bank records
20:29when he
20:30does the accounts are clean i made sure of that but the pattern is the pattern you show up at
20:33every
20:34property we own in a town of 8 000 people that's not a coincidence then we speed up how much
20:38of
20:38whitmore properties can we take before he figures it out you need to decide keep hiding in that apron or
20:42fight
20:43so
20:57four thousand dollars i'm engaged to four thousand dollars
