@dbo360x That would’ve been cool. Feels like a long time ago!

[Scott Sinclair @MScott_Sinclair]

No, you often see the opposite. When a financial imbalance exists, it inevitably becomes part of the strategy — and particularly in the US, it’s a very powerful tool.

The Lawrences having more resources doesn’t make them wrong. Equally, Mirtl losing legal proceedings may speak more to limited resources than to the actual facts of the case.

Do we really think someone wealthier would be criminally charged in this matter? Doubtful.

There was no legal point to the initial press release. In fact, there was no need for a press release at all. If there was a need, the press release could’ve been one sentence long - I have a new agent.

Instead, the release contains all sorts of allegations which, even if true, are better reserved for the legal proceedings. Why make the allegations up front and put yourself at legal risk?

Money is my bet. Which is why I think this whole thing feels sketchy.

[Scott Sinclair @MScott_Sinclair]

@pulpmx No, that was my last point. And also a grand jury indictment is not a finding of guilt.

[Scott Sinclair @MScott_Sinclair]

@pulpmx Can we tell James Prada is a fashion brand, not a racer?

[Scott Sinclair @MScott_Sinclair]

@dmotod @dbo360x I was thinking, maybe the worst season for tracks, ever. Boring.

Carney proves facts don’t matter

Carney concedes to Trump in trade negotiations

The Canadian Liberals’ Canada Strong Fund exists to take more money from you

[Scott Sinclair @MScott_Sinclair]

Carney Government and misleading statistics. Go back to first principles

Canadian liberals: Winning = losing less than you could have

[Scott Sinclair @MScott_Sinclair]

@dbo360x @filthyphil__ So lame

[Scott Sinclair @MScott_Sinclair]

@LewisPhillips71 Yup it’s the heart of my fantasy strategy

Sinclair Range Week in Review — March 27, 2026

I went to Mexico. Came back sick. Still ran the show.

This week at Sinclair Range: three live deals including a cannabis company exiting CCAA, a $100M private credit raise, and an active enforcement file. Plus — the one turnaround lesson that changes everything, a Docusign trap that nearly cost us eight figures, and how AI has taken over our entire operation in two weeks.

Deals on the Go

A cannabis producer in CCAA with $47M in hard assets and an imminent Health Canada licence reinstatement — seeking C$6M to exit restructuring and relaunch into medical and international markets. A Canadian private credit raise — a 26-year-old factoring lender raising up to $100M at 10% fixed quarterly, all first secured, targeting a $1.5B+ gap in the Canadian market. And a lender enforcing its security against a transport company — equipment being collected and sold in an orderly process.

Lesson Learned: Admit You're in Trouble

Every turnaround starts with one thing: changing your frame. Stop calling it a rough patch. When you admit you're actually in trouble, the problem stops being emotional and becomes math. We cover the baseline valuation concept — what each stakeholder recovers if the business blows up today — and why that number is the foundation of every serious lender negotiation.

Struggles: When the Plan Doesn't Work

The Sinclair Range turnaround was built on selling two real estate assets worth well into eight figures. Neither has sold. One buyer refused to close and put a lien on title — now in litigation. The other buried a clause in a Docusign offer letting them extend the conditional period indefinitely. We caught it and got out — but the lessons are hard-won: in a turnaround, the plan that should work often doesn't. And never sign a Docusign negotiation without reading every word — or running it through AI first.

What I'm Thinking About: AI Has Taken Over Sinclair Range

In two weeks: investment agreements, capital raise documents, liquidation analyses, contract reviews, a default notice, litigation file organization, 2,000+ transaction expense reconciliation, engagement letters, wealth management checklists, data room management, and daily CRM updates. This isn't the future. It's right now. The world is changing. Keep up.

@Tablesalt13 That’s silly. Free money on the No.

Sinclair Range Week in Review — March 6, 2026

This week we tackle two small business valuations, reveal how AI collapsed 30 hours of professional work into 90 minutes, and share a golden rule every investor needs to hear: you make your money on the buy.

Interesting Deal / File of the Week: Valuing a Small Business

We were asked to provide valuation guidance on two small businesses for partner buyouts. We walk through the full professional process — from understanding the purpose, to analyzing financials, to writing a defensible 6–10 page letter — and why that work typically costs $5,000 to $10,000. Then we show how AI let us complete both valuation letters, with full schedules and methodology, in just 90 minutes. We also discuss the growing problem of non-professionals using AI to imitate professional work — and what that means for the industry.

Lesson Learned of the Week: Buy Bank Debt

Working with a manufacturing client in financial distress, we break down why understanding liquidation value from the bank's perspective is critical to your negotiating position. We also explore an alternative deal structure: instead of refinancing the full loan, have a new lender buy out the existing bank's position at a discount — illustrated by a real acquisition where $3 million in debt was purchased for $1.5 million.

What I'm Thinking About: Make Money on the Buy

A golden rule for investors and entrepreneurs: your profit isn't made on the sale, and it isn't made on the value you add — your profit is made on the buy. We discuss why you should avoid competitive sale processes and instead create deals from a unique knowledge base. We reference a real debtor-in-possession lending example generating 50%+ annualized returns, first secured — the kind of deal no one hands you. You have to build it.
