I never did the math, but there wasn't a single project review committee or board approval that didn't have at least one or two projects that were directly connected to board members. For the majority of the time, employees weren't actually told about these conflicts. This was all only known at the board level, and you would only find out after the fact. This is why I mentioned the additional help that was provided on these projects on the front end and the preferential treatment because, for the most part, none of this was known to us, but you can look back at it and say, “Oh, that's why they got preferential treatment relative to others.”
