Has it occurred to you that perhaps one of the reasons it is not yet a done deal could be that they are working on those same options you keep mentioning to make sure they can swing it?

No, because I do not usually consider an unlikely possibility when there are probably HUNDREDS more likely possibilities.

If I come home and notice my front door has been kicked in, I do not start to consider the possibility that my daughter's stuffed animals were just attacked by a gang of Ninja's hanging out in Mandeville either.

And neither is your assumption that they will automatically be able to cover this expense with no difficulty or question. Paying $7k in private school tuition DOES NOT MEAN THEY CAN AFFORD COLLEGE TUITION NOW. How do you not get that?

I do get that. I understand that someones financial history does not provide the absolute best insight into their current situation. What you don't understand is that in this situation, it provides our best, and only insight into their ability to pay or rectify the situation.

Their track record and history does not give any reason for concern, but the NASDAQ does? By having concern for something like this you are giving more weight into what could be rather than into what was and what is likely now.

Is it possible they are dead broke, with credit scores in the low 200's, but based off of their track record and current actions, that's not likely and again, I try to not make a habit out of worrying about what isn't likely if there are other more plausible possibilities.

Okay, let's just put this out there: if you heard about someone with a good job and nice house whose daughter suddenly had to have $2000 of emergency surgery, you would honestly be pissed to hear someone say, "ouch, I hope they don't have any trouble coming up with that"?

Because that is precisely what you have done here. A bunch of people who want things to work out well for Tyrann and his family heard about a situation where they may be suddenly facing an unexpected expense of thousands of dollars, and expressed hope that they would not have problems coming up with the money. And then you and your buddies got pissed at those people and started accusing them of racism.
