Well, it apparently wan't known by you ;) but it's been out there for several years at least.
I am coming into this halfway through, but it seems clear from the wikipedia article that the company would have gone bust had it not been bailed out, and it most likely *was* bailed out as an attempt to purchase influence. So if you are going to hold Gruss to the use of bankrupt as a legal term, it would seem he was wrong. On the other hand, he is not a lawyer nor does he play one on TV, so why should you? Bottom line -- the history of that company is no testament to W's managerial skills. >What stuff has been known?
