Bus/Financial - Investment / Securities
French term or phrase: dans eliot
This is in an email about a securities transaction. The full sentence is:
"Il semblerait que le deal ne soit pas dans eliot!!"

What does this mean? (It would be nice to know where this comes from as well, but that's not critical!)

Thanks!
