I don't see why would anyone buy now. It's not like friedcat can come back now and pretend nothing happened.
Would it be possible to sell the IP and distribute to shareholders? It seems a shame to let the BE300 go un-produced.
This probably happened already. To a different company so that they get to reclaim full ownership of the product and 0% to previous shareholders.
At this point it would make no sense to just reappear. Lots of people would be able to claim damages.
I guess it is "possible" but I don't think there's a minimum plausible chance.
It did seem like a suspicion but unless I missed it we don't have enough going evidence to prove that
Although the point about damages is an interesting one
For now I guess we will just need to keep watching to see the final outcome, a Phoenix's birth rise and fall guess we may see it all.
