I second the amendment. "A verbal agreement is not worth the paper it is written on" is a quote attributed to Samuel Goldwyn. Anybody can say that they gave advice. I am sure that these financial people did give advice, I do not doubt their word, but when there is no written record it is very difficult to follow that. When one speaks of publication, again, one cannot publish a verbal exchange. There is no method of publishing that. The use of the word publication implies written advice.
