Scrooge blinked at him. "They submitted a proposal for McDuck Enterprises to invest in their town. It's no Pompeii, but they were trying to leverage the location so close to the volcano to potentially scoop up some of the tourists from there. An idea not entirely without merit.

"However, what I saw of them while I was working on the noonwraith issue was a bunch of people I don't want the McDuck name associated with, so I had my CFO notify their mayor that I'd declined to invest after I finished picking up my fee for the noonwraith."

Effectively adding insult to injury. Ask how much they'd hoped he'd invest, Poe. Go on. Ask.
