Irving Gould vs. The World

[Matt_H]

Gould had heaps of personal money invested in Commodore and my guess is that he was also using personal money in Commodore-related business.

Commodore should be the law school poster child for dubious corporate governance. Well, right after Amiga Inc. Tomes could be written about this.

By the way, Alexander Haig has also ceased to be. What this guy was doing on Commodore's board, I will never know.

I have some of C='s shareholder statements somewhere - I should get those digitized.

It's a shame the community-driven shareholder movement wasn't successful. What an incredible effort, though. I don't think we'll see anything like it ever again in the computer industry, probably not in any industry.

I've mentioned this before...it seems Mehdi is in two places at once...

.biz domain names always come out sounding tacky IMHO.

It's the exact same company! Did they change names and forget to take down the old site, or are they up to no good? I suspect the latter.

Come to think of it, Mehdi Ali is a common enough name that he could easily dissociate himself from his colossal failure at Commodore. Why on earth would he call attention to it?!

Fascinating stuff. I'm glad someone's still hounding C='s managers, even if it is just boring creditor groups.
