"I got a call from Brad Katsuyama, co-owner of Venezia and a good friend of mine.

"Venezia is an incredible city, and Venezia has always been a special club. I spoke to Drake, then Brad, and I discussed the details of how we could help. Within two weeks, we had a deal, and raised the money needed to pay salaries and avoid bankruptcy."
