<h2>The Boatman Capital Research Report</h2>
Back in the month of August, a report from the Boatman Capital Research raised questions about whether Argo had paid more than required for the land that it acquired for the Texas facility by up to 100 times. 

However, the CEO of Argo Blockchain, Peter Wall, defended the dealing in a video posted on Twitter. He addressed the situation positively and said that they are not eyeing just the land but are considering it as an acquisition of a project. He said:
<blockquote>“We feel like it was a good deal for the project in Texas because it wasn’t just a land acquisition, it was a project acquisition.”</blockquote>
