Hyperion bankrupt?

[Boot_WB]

ok cant be bothered to read about 300 odd posts since i last looked at this thread.  could somone summarise the current situation for me please.  Have they sorted it or gone under ?

No change as yet:

 - They have been declared bankrupt;
 - They are appealing the decision.

The only deadline to have passed (26/2/15) is for Hyperion's creditors to register claims with the courts for the purposes of disbursing the proceeds of any liquidation of assets.

The next date of interest should be next Thursday (4/3/15) - Date of deposition of initial report for verification of said claims by the curator.

NB These dates relate to the bankruptcy procedure, not the appeal.

Whilst the appeal had to be registered within 15 days of the initial ruling, I don't have any reliable information on how long the appeal process may take.
However since the bankruptcy process is quite fast moving, any appeals procedure would by necessity need to be expedient (otherwise there would be nothing left to resurrect for any 'normal' business).

Thanks dude, exactly what I was looking for

It is more like psychological issue, just like those CopyMemQuicker patches which make people believe the system is faster.

And in itself it's no problem if people prefer native over hosted or fill their system with micro optimization patches. It would be nice though if people realize this preference is mostly based on sentiment and not on practical advantages.

If you want to know how ARIX performs, just grab one of the other AROS hosted on Linux distros and give that a spin.  The only significant difference is that ARIX has most of the Linux non-essential bits removed such as the package manager, Gnome/KDE desktop manager, etc.

If by non-essential you mean Everything but low level Drivers you are correct.   We don't even use XWindows.

I asked the curator about how everything was going since there are so much speculation (and silence from Hyperion). I just got this reply:

Dear Sir,

The company started an opposition procedure.

I expect the decision of the Court at the end of the month.

Yours sincerely,


Bert DEHANDSCHUTTER

Hehe.. I did as well and just got a message from Dehandschutter today.

Just a quick update from Bert Dehandschutter concerning the bankruptcy of Hyperion Entertainment:

"The hearing will take place next week on Tuesday and one week later the decision of the Court.

Bert DEHANDSCHUTTER"

That is incorrect.  They are bankrupt as declared by the court.  Here's the translation:

 Insolvency Hyperion Entertainment Cvba

On 27-01-2015 was Hyperion Entertainment Cvba in Sint-Agatha-Berchem (Brussel) declared by the court in Brussels bankrupt. As a liquidator is appointed Bert Dehandschutter. The company number is 466380552nd

LOL.  A contract coder slash aspiring blues guitar player not even giving a URL or source is not confirmation of anything, and with all due respect, if I was his employer, I'd ask him to do his job coding versus running the PR gamut and voicing his opinions, which comes off entirely as a public statement from Hyperion / the other parties with involved interests in OS4 (A-EON/Amigakit).  Sheer hackery.  Really, don't let the guy coding the paint program run defense on a public basis, even if it's his own doing.  I'd fire people for less in such a similar controversial situation.

Seen a lot of hysterical things, but this does take the cake - and being a reasonably happy bought and paid for user of OS4, I've got vested stakes in this as well.  I'd like to see a future version of OS4, but reading "breaking news" from a third party contract coder with no source and not the company itself is beyond unprofessional.

Just when you thought you seen it all.  Just awful.
