You know, I'm starting to think of this loan as a decent
contrarian investment for Dole. He gets a decent percentage return
with very little risk, and if it becomes glaringly obvious that this
is a bad investment compared to other investments a year or so down
the road, all Dole needs to do to effectively call in the loan is
become a registered lobbyist, at which point the loan is replaced with
a bank loan. Of course I've probably missed something obvious here in
my zeal to defend my former employer's motives......
