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:

"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)
