> How will you make money?

Money does not drive me--giri does.

My goal is to give back to the entrepreneurs who are coming up in the
game since the game has given so much to me.

> Do you have a date for starting? And why Los Angeles first?

1. Q1 2010
2. I live in Los Angeles.
3. I know two dozen *real* angel investors in Los Angeles--most of
which come to my poker game.

These groups are filled with pariahs... they are rats on a sinking
ship. They only thing they are going to do is run.

> Anything that I should have asked that I didn't?

If I was doing the interview I would of asked "how soon do you think
it will be before you put Keiretsu Forum out of business?"

I would have responded 60 days ago.
