Taken from the article:

Quote
Inception Group is entitled to get the owed money (about 150,000 USD) aswell as an interest of about 7000 Dollar.
That's a LOT of money for Amiga Inc. I guess this means that they are toast? If yes, will Amiga Inc. be for sale afterwards? How does this work?

Theoretically, they should have been toast years ago. They'll probably just create another shell corporation to escape the debt.

Probably not, but it'll take another lawsuit to prove it.

It would be nice if these guys would just finally go out of business so we could have some closure around here!

I hope this finally marks the end of McEwen and Ainc.

I'd like to see Hyperion or Acube take the rights.

Sued by their ex-landlords! Vast sums of money owed!


Good luck with getting a dime out of Amiga Inc.

Amiga  should be able to be run from a $1000 a month storefront or Industrial park  back lot.Or maybe from someone's home office in the basement ,garage or den.
Seriously ,what has Amiga,Inc  done  in the past  decade?E-sales of  phone games doesn't need more than a file server.

Does this mean that we can expect the Amiga trademark to be up for bid via bankruptcy court soon?????  I wonder who will buy it and for how much.  The saga continues!

What has Amiga Inc. done for you lately/ever?

Genuine question. I'm curious as to what you see worthwhile in them.
