This information was on 21FY Report on note 9.  So, the book value of Ecobee in JE was $32.9 and they sold the shares for $61millions:

Not a bad deal at all.  My 1st reaction is:  JE is not in PANIC Liquidation.  Well, what will be the next News Release...and when???  DYOD & GLTA...may be we can see the light in the tunnel...just hope it is not a train coming!!! Gaillard.

Of course they will be sold. Joe is right. Gotta cover the debts here. How many billions is it now? Maybe bond holders get 50c on the dollar and common stock goes to zero. Sure hope so. Some greedy characters here need to learn the hard way. Tough love. Something tells me that the trash pandas who own this are not smart enough to exit.
