Charlie would not pay, Dish Network a publicly traded company would pay.
But, Charlie is the controlling shareholder so he definitely would experience pain along with the other shareholders.
Well the news story I read online said he would have to write a 2 billion dollar check to the U.S. Treasury if he doesn't meet the deadline. So whether it comes from his account or his company account, he is going to pay for it. I think he also loses the accumulated band with- for missing the deadline ,which is worth a lot more than 2 billion.
I bought 500 shares of Dish in 1997 and held it through three 2:1 stock splits in 1999-2000 giving me 4000 shares. In 2007 I sold 3000 shares. No loss here...
I know, its why I bought it, but I did not luck out it went down the day I bought it

Well, I bought the original 500 at about $1.75 and it did drop a few days later, but then it recovered and pretty much kept going...

I took some profits from Dish, way back when. More than offset my losses on another stock.
My 500 share Dish purchase came about when I was looking to step up a bit from the penny stocks I'd been playing with and wanted to get into some low cost tech stocks. I was at a retirement diner for a friend when several business folks started discussing up and coming businesses. One of the fellows was the president of a local cable company, and he was complaining about an upstart satellite direct broadcast service that was stealing his customers even though he had exclusive franchise agreements with the communities he served. Then he said that worse yet, there was another new DBS company that was also going to be moving into his exclusive territory. That got my attention, and a little research turned up some info on both DTV and Dish. The Dish price was within my budget, so that's what I bought. I don't recall what DTV's stock status was at the time...
I bought it at $52 I sold off half does have the other have bought $10k worth, I had a rare good week
You are basically going along for the gamble when you buy Dish. Charlie was known as a great professional card gambler and has not changed much through the years.
It is not his company, it is the stockholders company and the company and all the stockholders, not just charlie, pay the bills. The other stockholders ( and Dish bond holders) have chosen to bet on his strategy and invest their money in Dish, figuring that he has a winning plan.
Nothing to brag about unless it was the other way around.
I'm for it if that would mean we would get fox sports back
