If that din&#8217;t work out, he&#8217;d find someone who could, and convince them to do it for him. If that still didn&#8217;t work &#8211; through lack of funds, planning, or legal issues &#8211; then he&#8217;d store the bits in his warehouse.<\/p>\n<p>Adam wanted to do everything, and luckily enough, knew everyone.
