> Nice spinjob gramma, but you seem to be forgetting something, namely, you have no inside knowledge of the deals in question
That's right, but I have general insight to the "big" picture.
1. Amiga Inc has been on the verge of bankruptcy for very long. The exact time of when Amiga Inc entered "that state" might be a matter of definition though.
2. Amiga Inc has lots of creditors, people they own money, former employees, partners, consultants, and so on. They didn't get any money, because Amiga Inc has only some 300 dollars in the bank.
3. Amiga Inc had only one asset of any real value, and that was OS4.
4. OS4 was transferred to another company, possibly for no money at all, and certainly not trough a public auction that is the usual way (the only way?) of setting a fair market value on the assets in situations like this.
And (I assume):
5. Amiga Inc is dead, an empty shell, with no mone, no assets and a HUUUGE pile of debts. Bill McEwen and Fleecy goes down with the ship. Their creditors has lost their chance of getting their money?
6. This whole deal could be considered illigal to bankruptcy laws if it would be challanged in court?
> you have no real grasp of the laws involved
Well, I am certainly not an expert like Ben Hermans, but I have actually taken some fundamental law courses in University, and I think that Ben Hermans has a strong point in the text above.
> you do not know the exact involvements of KMOS with Ainc.
That's right. I'm sure we will find out. What if "KMOS" stands for "Kommunity MorphOS"? Wouldn't that be cool, huh?!
