What's potentially scary about this, as of yesterday, you could purchase a controlling share of Worldcom for about $10 million. Of course, the low price is due to the impending bankrupcy. However, as daunting as the billions of dollars of debt might seem, Worldcom is still a viable company for someone who might be able to refinance the debt. Know of any large software companies that have that much working cash available?? Who might want to own a significant percentage of the backbone? Think its too far fetched??
$10,000,000 US is not much for many entities or individuals - not just Gates.
frankly, i'm more concerned about controlling interest of the company falling into the hands of those that
intentionally want to inflict harm on the public... .
farfetched?
