157,000 what the hell were they renting?
I remember an interview where Mcewen was giving a news guy a tour of their offices. It sounded like a big building.
The had a foosball table and things to play when they weren't working.
Looks like they had a lot of equipment too, here's some items that were auctioned off:

Assortment of UMAX & HP 4C scanners, D-LINK & LINKSYS hubs, LINKSYS DSL router, LIVINGSTON 2E & 3 switches, NEXSTATION web TV box, RCA combination TV/VCR, paper shredders, CARD SCAN 500 card scanner, POLYCOM SOUNDSTATION conference phone, SENTRY safe, lateral files, file cabinets, 2-door metal cabinets, drafting tables & chairs, whiteboards. bookcases, refrigerator, foosball table, misc. office supplies & much more!
Here is an interview with Mcewen (after they were kicked out and stuff auctioned off)

"We need to get a new office first and check it is big enough for a
foosball table."Seems like they just sort of blew all their cash on stuff. Never came out with a single product. (No I don't consider the "SnowMan" maker an actual product)
