Did Marshall Long help broker the deal as he's been known to do in the past leaving the data center's coffer much lighter?
No we didn't get scammed by him until later in 2014. The Black Arrow debacle was a combo of BA themselves being crooked, and Matt Carson deciding to make a shit situation worse. I'm honestly surprised his name hasn't surfaced yet in the sea of shit emerging from the crypto space... I know he was more on the ASIC and hardware side but this space is too small for him to not have been tied into all this mess with XPY, Cryptsy, etc.
Even Marshall Long's partner, Leonnel Chukwuka Iruke (Leo "Chewbacca" Iruke) is a scum bucket. Don't forget that it was Leo who drew up the plans for Josh Garza to escape to Dubai, perhaps as Bruce Fenton's neighbor given that Bruce is friends with Marshall hence being invited to the "Satoshi Roundtable" recently in spite of all efforts by myself, among others, warning Bruce that Marshall's a piece of shit from the word go.

The two of them were officers/directors together in 2005 in a non-stock related Texas business entity called Refi Wiz Inc

How much further back their association goes before 2005, I am not sure yet. Maybe they had other businesses together? Maybe they went to school together? Still trying to sort that out.
This is the same Leonnel C Iruke that would later do legal work for APS promoted and Aaron Lamkin and Jeffrey Smuda linked Mistral Ventures Inc (MILV)

The same Leonnel C Iruke that represented Awesome Penny Stocks in March of 2012 when they filed a lawsuit against TBX for stealing their mailing list when Dino Paolucci left the APS family.

The same Leonnel C Iruke that in March of 2012 sent a letter to the IHUB demanding that certain IHUB posts mentioning the name John Babikian be taken down
http://promotionstocksecrets.com/awesome-penny-stocks-the-walls-come-tumbling-down/
When John Babikian's ex-wife sued him, she mentioned Leonnel Iruke's name several times in her lawsuit and said of him that Leonnel Iruke is John Babikian's personal attorney and works almost exclusively for John Babikian making him readily available to jump on a plane and meet Babikian in any part of the world at the drop of a hat.
When Babikian declared Bankruptcy for two of his four companies he owned in Quebec during a 2010 audit conducted by the Minister of Revenue of Quebec. As part of that Bankruptcy, Babikian came up with $550,000 in debt for 9173-8153 Quebec Inc ($300,000 was listed as being owed to Leonnel Iruke and the other $250,000 owed to a company called Nick Thomas Ltd).
Iruke would even end up moving his practice from Texas out to California where Babikian had a big presence and APS operations were focused out of for a while, but also near where our Iqbal Saran is located. Other names out of this area linked to Saran/APS were Shehzad Peermahomed and Karim Rawji.

I'm not sure if Iruke is in California now. For all I know he took his millions he made as a key insider for these paid promotion guys and moved to Europe or Asia or some tropical paradise.
I just thought that was interesting that Iruke can be linked to Adrian Thomas of Stock Tips as far back as 2005 (possibly even earlier than that) and that he also became a major presence for Awesome Penny Stocks/Babikian. It is just more information that supports that the same people were backing Stock Tips and Awesome Penny Stocks and other major promoters. They just keep shuffling through paid promoters like changing shirts to help them to sell the free trading stock they own in all these paid promotion tickers they secretly set-up/control. One paid promoter falls they just get behind another one making that new promoter great.
Ulrik Debo and Adrian Thomas ran Stock Tips but its the big money guys that made Stock Tips great. John Babikian and Eric Van Nguyen ran Awesome Penny Stocks but it was the big money guys that made them great.
It's not the paid promoter that is any where near as important as who the big money people are that set-up and control these shells and back the promoter. Names like Iqbal Saran, Luis Carrillo, Gregg Mulholland, Scott Gelbard, Aaron Lamkin, Phil Kueber, Robert Shull, Joseph Padilla, etc. You can bet your bottom satoshi that Leo Iruke and Marshall Long are neck deep in nefarious activities pertaining to Bitcoin, with the same true for any and all cryptocurrency-based endeavors even loosely affiliated with them.
