Paywall.
Perhaps someone with access can summarize this?
(Sounds like the guy has follow through issues)
That would be the most generous interpretation possible.
Dude is a straight up charlatan, the league will never happen, just like all of his other grandiose schemes never materialized. Has used this MO of promising an imminent influx of money from overseas investors repeatedly and in the end there’s no money and no evidence that he has any such contacts. Absolutely zero chance this “league” plays a single game. Tried to bid on multiple NHL franchises in the past, a junior team, revive the WHA during the lockout. More or less the same story each time.
Pretty much every person contacted for the article who knew him said stay far away. This guy has zero credibility. The best part is him hanging up immediately when the reporter called him, lol.
