I deliberately didi no try to speak to Mr. Stumpf today. After all he has a lot more important things to do then to chat to me. In any case as I or GTI cannot influence the decisions at Commo in the smallest degree and as i do not work for the press like you Ottmar there would have been little point. I was going to hold back the news from the Forum until I saw that you had already mentioned the developments. Does hat mean that mr. Stumpf told you officially or off the record ?. A number of fellow Amiga-Dealers i know spoke to him personally and came away with the same information. I see no reason to doubt the information that he has been giving – but is it not up to the liquidator to decide what gets sold to whom ? Or has that already been decided (as i think) before Friday and the buyer just wanted to avoid having to buy either th US Operation or get saddled with the overall debts. (It's the buyers right to bid for the parts of the company he wants at the price he is prepared to pay – he liquidator must only be convinced that the offer is in the best interest of the creditors). I guess a statement MUST be issued in the US today to give credence to the comments made by C= Germany. I can understand that Mr. Stumpf said something as our lines were hot today with dealers wanting to know what was happening, but this thing has to be co-ordinated !! I had heard that an official press statement was to be made by c=Germany this afternoon but if it was made it never got through to me ! Mr. Stumpf has always been honest in giving information in the past – I would certainly tend to believe him again now – we jsut need a small confirmaton either from the Buyer (in Jap-land) or the Seller (the liquidator) ! Still hoping Richard
