[SatelliteAV]

Want to own part of ViewSat? The liquidation company called today to buy the inventory in bulk, but the only item that I want is the 2007 Lamborghini LB715 Gallardo Spyder!

For just a moment, I thought you wrote "Visionsat" instead of "Viewsat". Being that it is Viewsat, I'll pass ...

I am surprised that charlie is allowing those receivers to be sold and not destroyed!

Remote control airplanes and xboxes? Must of been a fun place to work for!

I have the same "Oster Toaster" oven in my basement kitchen, and it's a good one !
Mine cost $89 at Costco . Wish this were an online auction, we could have some fun !

Boy ama jump on the bubble wrap roll.

Would they have any specific rights to do so before a public auction?

I might guess they are going to send some representatives to secure the name and website (lot 1). Perhaps the boxes are on their list, too.

I thought that the other companies shut down by charlie had to destroy their receivers.

 

[SatboyZ]

Look closely at lot 81...

The box on the bottom of the pallet has a Directv logo on it.

Wonder if they will buy that lot?

Oh, that may be true. Just going from memory here, but for example Freetech shutting down was the result of a civil action, so destroying inventory being part of the settlement seems plausible. Viewsat CEO is in jail as a result of a criminal conviction of course, but I have no clue what mechanism directly provoked the bankruptcy of the company. If it was voluntary (by which I mean initiated from within), wouldn't only the court have any standing to specify how the assets are disposed of?

Are you suggesting EchoStar/NagraStar/Dish Network had obtained a civil judgment against Viewsat?

This whole story is a bit of a soap opera and it's been interesting watching it unfold, that's for sure.

Charlie is greedy and evil. If there's a buck to be made he will do it. legal or otherwise.

and cries like a little girl when it backfires

 

[Tron]

Maybe he has high confidence in N3, and figures he can make a buck off of boxes that can't otherwise hurt his bottom line...
