Is Capital One Dumb Enough To Lose $3-Million?

All along we thought Bob Dean, dastardly owner of the Hotel Bentley was the "holdup" in the "Global" downtown hotel deal. But now another problem has reared its ugly head, Capital One's Bankruptcy Court Claim to the Alexander Fulton Hotel's main tower and parking lot to the tune of $3,081,916.52. To our knowledge, this amount has NEVER been mentioned by the local media or City of Alexandria. Why not? Probably because the media are too lazy or it's not considered important because the amount is so insignificant in the "global" scheme of things. But we bet that amount IS important to Capital One and it will become important to the COA if another 3 million or so will be required to close the deal. All the blather about who "blew" the deal will be settled in Federal Bankruptcy Court with no date set. The COA says claims of Capital One are for naught but the Bank is pressing forward with no comment.
Investigative reporter Greg Aymond of Central La. Politics published the amount of Capital One's claim first. You can review complete documentation of facts and figures on his website.
