i've been trying to stay out of this one, but dude are you kidding me?

jackjack - "Have you or anyone else mentioned the things that RF did (that maybe no one else could have done), such as raising 100 million dollars to keep the company afloat in a ridiculously bad economy, wowing the Chinese into becoming partners, making numerous, if not dozens of trips to Vz. to personally speak with officials (something not many CEOs would have personally done). and so on."

lets see....things that maybe no one else could have done..

1. "such as raising 100 million dollars to keep the company afloat in a ridiculously bad economy"

to my knowledge fung has'nt raised dick yet....and we would'nt be trying to raise it in a bad economy had we filed for arb in mar 08'.....

2."wowing the Chinese into becoming partners"

wow! we see where that got us... they're probably the true owners of the bonds now... again, it amounts to nothing..

3."making numerous, if not dozens of trips to Vz. to personally speak with officials (something not many CEOs would have personally done)."

what a huge sacrifice on our dime that once again amounted to a turd in a watermelon patch...god forbid he actually had to do something as hard as take a vacation in venezuela to earn his salary and bonus' for the last 12 years...

4. "and so on."

yeah....and so on, and so on, and so on.....
