RE:Frankie and his sister...Such a pity with a potential resource like this. Took a look at the accounts the other day and dug into the notes. The real horror story is the loan from the Marasco family to the company against which all the assets are secured. Effectively, they are the bank to the company. Given that they only own 37% of the company, it is in their interest to bankrupt it, then they would end up with 100% for no extra cash.
Having said this. It is also true to say that they could have done this a few years ago or last month and they did not. So I would give them the benefit of the doubt honesty wise. If they were total crooks they would have reposessed the asset already and screwed the minorities. However, any white knight with cash to burn will want to get rid of this clause for sure.
