That said, I'm fairly certain that before the County Assessor can report this transaction, the seller has to eradicate the zombie infestation from the tunnels under Crossroads. As an attorney, I can say that's fairly standard boilerplate stuff. Another possible holdup could be that they're waiting on an engineering report assuring the buyer that said tunnels are not responsible for the recent Earthquakes. Due diligence stuff. So other than zombies and earthquakes, this looks like a done deal.
The zombie thing might be tied up in the courts for awhile though. The courts are going to have to figure out 1) whether zombies retain enough human characteristics to be human and 2) whether these human characteristics are enough to make them current tenants at sufferance of the Crossroads tunnels. I expect the DOJ to get involved. The Dems could really use the zombie vote in Oklahoma, so if Obama's justice department could get that zombie vote, well, they'd at least be able to have a solid chance in Atoka County the next go-round. This could take years of litigation.. or if the zombies don't hire lawyers, we still have to get personal service on the zombies and initiate forcible entry and detainer proceedings. Like I said... this could really affect the closing date.
Why the secrecy? Obviously, if this wasn't secret, someone else would buy Crossroads Mall out from under these potential buyers (even with the potential zombie infestation and earthquake causing characteristics) and found their own market center... or possibly a Southside cultural center and spaceport. That's the word on the street anyway.
