These details are great, CinnasVerses. I haven’t looked for the past year or so but don’t think I ever saw CFAR report other business income from event rentals, which is the way they keep the lights on and why they hire operations staff paid a ludicrous amount of money. CFAR also has the B&B/event center out of town they bought that Anna Salomon mentioned in her recent “I’ve been paid a salary the past five years to do nothing but meditate on how I want to spend Eliezer’s coattail money going forward” announcement. I’m swamped at the moment, but maybe I’ll go back and look this stuff up in a month or two.
