    The other bond companies will not “accept hard assets such as real estate as collateral,” but “will only accept cash or cash equivalents (such as marketable securities),” the filing said.

    Perfection.

    They won’t let him pay with play money anymore.

          It’s this.

          Anyone would be stoked to lend $500m if he could give them, say, $1b in clear property titles.

          He can’t because other banks already have their mortgage registered on the titles, and those banks have obviously reached the limit of what they will offer.
