Ah, found it. It was in Amiwest 2002, the transcript is here (post #65) http://www.ann.lu/comments2.cgi?view=1061210784&category=forum&start=51
"We have a situation creating an Amiga museum, with a lot of hardware that was ours that we owned that was in Germany. We went to go get it. The warehouse was empty. Pallets and pallets of our product had been stolen. Now, we know who has it, we're not gonna... that's... we're not here to point fingers or names or let people know, we even know where it is."

Amiga set forth in 2000 with plans of forever changing computing and the landscape by creating a series of products that would guide us through the launch and creation of a new operating system that we could all be proud of. A portion of the Amiga operational budget came from the sale of the existing Amiga hardware and operations and we expected those revenues to help us stretch the initial funding so that we had time to properly get to the second round of funding for Amiga which was always planned. Think of my surprise when I learned that all of our inventory was sold for $75,000.00 to a company in India, when we were generating more than that on a monthly basis. This created a big operational hole for the company and caused us great harm in our ability to move forward. This hardware was not even put up for bid or auction, and nobody was consulted in the process.

Hi.

Sorry for me asking, but can You perhaps explain the quoted content in a little easier to understand wording ? I don't think my english is good enough to fully understand.

I can not. It is Bill's quote and only he can explain it further.
I only included it to show the tie to what @CodeSmith was talking about in his link.

"This message is intended only for the addressees clearly indicated as intended recipients" sounds questionable to me whether this should be public.
