Having dealt with Jim several times, speaking with him on the phone, and corresponding through PMs a lot I just find it hard to believe that he harbors any nefarious intentions here.
I'm still of the belief that something in his personal life such as his health, marriage, or family issues are preventing him from responding to the OP's requests.
Jim, if you read this ever I'm holding out hope that your issues will be resolved and that you'll complete your transactions with Butch and the others.
I'm wishing you the best from MN.
