Alan is volunteering to be the escrow agent and presumably will hold the cash reimbursement (or certified funds) and receive and release the respective IRS returns obtained. So no payment is really at risk if the sequencing is logically worked out.

The fact that Rob and Arci are still debating the details instead of moving forward indicates to me that no deal will ever be made.
