Esplanade Financing Dispute Drives Loss Claims
Katsanos cites 17 million in capitalized interest and a 5.5 million Friedman Trust loan as core to the Esplanade financing dispute. Southwest fronted 25 million to buy the land with an interest free loan to the Friedman Trust, part of the overall package. RTC argues the capitalized interest and Friedman loan should be added to losses, totaling 71.5 million, with 30 million repaid and 15 million potential from an April sale still leaving Symington liable for about 26 million. Katsanos says no evidence shows no loss and litigation continues.
