		Shnaider's acquisition of Jordan has been one of the mysteries of the 2005 season and the team has made little progress and there has been no obvious investment for the future.
		Shnaider says that he is not actively looking for a buyer but has had an approach from a Russian sponsor to acquire shares in the team.
		Shnaider says that he is investing his own money in the team "on a scale that a board would have ousted me if Midland were a public company" and added that he is willing to go on investing "approximately the amount we will have invested by the end of this year".

		Shnaider, however, has stepped decisively from the shadows with two bold, high-profile moves in the past year--a majority stake in Toronto's controversial 70-storey Trump Tower, a combination five-star hotel and luxury condo development that aims to be the tallest residential building in Canada; and the $50-million purchase of Eddie Jordan's struggling Formula One motor-racing franchise.
