I had a good think, and put myself in the ‘shoe’ of the owners and directors.

Their family have built up this company over the past 25 years, they are not going to just take whatever money and run.. run where? The police will find them, is it worth it becoming a fugitive ? What about the hundred of workers they employ, some of whom no doubt are their family members and friends.

Therefore it is likely, the business will continue, as for wether the $50 mil is actually there. I would say, it is highly likely the cash is there and currently being use as revolving working capital. Sure, the owners will find dodgy ways to siphon off some small cash using various method and excuses.

As for shareholders, we hold an asset that is capital locked up.. the money is there, yet we cannot have it. Or at least not until we can roll the MD, and imstall a shareholders friendly CEO.
