BTW did you see that the person who provided a line of credit so
Freedom Industries could declare a Chap 11 bankruptcy was also
one of the principals of Freedom Industries and that he set up a
brand new company yesterday morning to do just that?

I noticed early on that the same guy was already president of two companies, Freedom Industries and one other. And Freedom Industries had just taken over the storage facility in question about 2 weeks before the MCHM hit the fan. Incestuous interlocking boards are the character of Corporate America. O what a tangled web we weave.

I am sure that all the employees of Freedom Industries are now
or soon will be out of their jobs but the owners and principals
of the company will just move their $$ around and still live the
good life.

because I watch it 'live' online.
Most games are out of the Melbourne area and I live on the US West Coast so
that is why the 3 hour difference in my reply.
