It appears Amiga Inc never owned some of the hardware they were possessing. from http://www.murphyauctions.net/amiga.html

Amiga Inc is being sold by order of the property management. Some of the equipment listed has been claimed by vendors as of Wednesday, June 11, 2003. The equipment was only on the premises as a "loaner" to Amiga for development reasons. The following items have been removed from the sale:

IMAC PC
EPSON 740i printer
NOKIA MEDIA terminal
NETBOOK pda
SHARP pda
MY FRIEND pocket pc
AQUAPAD mobile internet device
VADEM CLIO pocket pc

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Which in turn is what happens when people don't pay their rent. Repeatedly. Over long periods of time.

> I wondered if that mediaterminal could be *owned* by Amiga Inc.

I wondered about that too. It's not that unusual for a company to donate (as opposed to lend) equipment for development purposes, but that usually only applies to equipment which has been released to market, not to prototypes.

> Worst thing is, as a business, you have to explain to your business partners

Self inflicted. What's the bet they didn't actually bother to tell any of those companies their equipment was impounded?

> That can kill not just one deal but any hopes of future deals with folks
> these people network with.

And so it should be. A situation like this is a very bad sign about the company involved, and it's quite natural that this would be reflected in how that company is perceived by prospective business partners.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's usually a duck.
