"Building that network was expensive, however. Columbus’s expansion was funded with US $ 1.25 billion—including from banks like Citi, RBC, and Scotiabank, the largest retail bank in the Caribbean, as well as further investment from CFFI. During one cash call, Michael Lee-Chin found himself short on funds. “I didn’t have the liquidity then. So John said, ‘It’s OK, Mike, don’t worry—I’ll put it in. Pay me when you have the money.’"
