Didn't you say in the past that after going back to the US and/or Puerto
Rico
(after getting tossed) that you were still trying to sell your stations in
Ecuador?

No, I said that in '69, thinking I could sell, I worked briefly with Art
Keller as a manager at EZ Communications and had a deal to buy 25% for $100
k, but when I got back to Ecuador things were so bad that foreign currency
transactions were frozen and I could not do any deal. About then, I put the
talk AM on and made the mistake of speaking out against the government.

They did have airplanes back then, and I could come and go.


You probably sank to your knees and serviced some of the junta members
in the hope that they'd allow you to climb on board the rapidly
approaching gravy train. As soon as you were done, they had no further
use for you. And the gravy train? Darn it, wouldn't you know it was
overbooked...


Now, in one rapid 24 hour period, you are telling us that you
*transferred* it
all to some employee cooperative, before you got tossed?

Did you do that at gunpoint as well?

No, I signed some documents with my lawyers, and they filed them within
hours. A socialist government could not go against a worker's cooperative, a
day old or a century old. I lost the stations, but not to the government. I
still grin when I imagine the faces of the military junta guys when they
realized they had a Catch 22 on their hands.

The government went against the cooperative. So much for that story.
