In other words, Harikeśa “Svāmī” agreed to pay the $1.5 million, out of funds he would otherwise have given to the Mayapur Project, on condition that it all be paid back with interest.
As far as I know, none of these payments were ever made, and no one resigned either. What a joke! It was obviously just a trick to get HKS to cough up the dough!
