The change was made because Torque Capital executive Lewis Wang could not come up with an advance payment himself, the records show.The Health Department did not directly answer questions Thursday about why Torque Capital LLC was paid anyway.{{title}}{{summary}}You don't have any notifications.Get up-to-the-minute news sent straight to your device.Topics
