Spyker Backers Called into Question on Saab GM Deal

This is starting to become like General Hospital. A lot of fuss over a ~$400m deal. I still think that is a low valuation for this company...but I guess the market dictates the price... LOL @ Muller's home address listed as the company's. He should fire his lawyers. Fishes, Narco.

well said Narco. I dont know what all the fuss is about.

Russian money is like a Wagnerian music, it is a lot more other things than just a money as you see, but fortunately it is not entire money on that planet.

bla bla...russian money, european money... cocaine money. what's the big deal? it is still money.. for saab. maybe antonov's pop is really backing this thing. so what? like uwe bowl said in Postal "yes, my movies are backed by nazi money. so, sombody has to do smthing with it" :))))

What's the big deal if the Russians owned shares in Saab? After all the Chinese bought Volvo. Would the Swedes rather have watched Saab go under than to see it go to a company ultimately controlled by the Russians?

The history, liquidity, and motive of stakeholders is important with a complex deal like this. It's not a matter of nationality. It's also easy to say it's a lot of fuss over $400m when you are not involved in deals of this size. It's not just a matter of money on the line here, it's the livelihood of thousands of employees.

Ahhh..Soverign Nations have Corporation Laws, Trading Laws...if they have been broken then you have a drama. This ain't over yet!

money, money, money... backstage games... all that matters in the end is if and how will spyker be able to turn around the SAAB's years of misfortune and make it profitable and desirable for the customers again... so let's wait and see

This guy must be well connected if he can make 132 million euros appear out of thin air within a week. Ones asking questions like hmm, if he can make 132 mil appear so fast how long will it take him to make me disappear? Who cares if the $ is drug money, hoe money, or legit money. At one point all money was worked for by someone. I don't know the exact terms of the sale, but it seems like he got a good deal, the facilities must be worth a lot more than 400 million. He could just sell it all then file for bankruptcy and give those shareholders and their questions the finger. That's what id do.

Uh oh, sounds like Saab's going the same way as MG Rover. I'm not a Saab fan but I do hope they survive somehow.
