Unanswered questions in the aftermath of Hyperion's bankruptcy

Hyperion's bankruptcy (and the re-organization of the company that followed it) has left many questions unanswered. There is obviously much more to add on the topic in the thread that was recently closed by moderators.

For example, what really happened, exactly? Who were involved?

And how is the process of re-organizing the company progressing? Or to connect to the statements within Hyperion's own Press Release regarding the current situation:


"albeit that some resources had to be directed away"

That served as some vague explanation to what happened at best, but directed away from what exactly? From whom?


"The company is in the process of reorganizing itself"

So how is that process going?


"by opening up its shareholdership"

So what about Hyperion's new ownership situation?


"and appointing a new exective director"

So what about Hyperion's new management situation?


Like number6 said in that other thread:

Quote:
Quote:
I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT HYPERION STATUS IN THIS THREAD AND STILL THERE ARE NO IMPARTIAL VERIFIED NEWS FOM BELGIUM BUT ONLY A PRESS RELEASE FROM HYPERION ITSELF!


As I understand it, the courts don't want to revisit issues such as this over and over. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the company was listed as "inactive" at one point last year. (VAT as mentioned). Contrary to popular belief, the site reporting it did not take weeks and weeks and weeks for the info to trickle down TO that site.

But back to "revisiting"...What would follow is an examination of the books imo, followed by recommendations. Considering that shortly after the Hyperion initial statement (issued by beta testers at first) we heard about re-organization, a new director to be appointed, etc. These changes tend to support what I indicated above. If "recommendations" is the wrong term, feel free to substitute one you like better.


There is still much info to gather about this! Still many question marks that needs to be straightened out to exclamation marks!

To supporting new hardware from AEon.

Just what it says.

Quote:
"by opening up its shareholdership"


Changing the legal form of a company which might have
been privately owned into shareholdership where investors
may buy shares and influence decisions of company.

Quote:
"and appointing a new exective director"


Probably the one who buys share of company large enough
to be entitled to that position or on the other way someone
who will be more competent in milking out more cash out
of company's assets sort of speak.

Quote:

Curator can't tell company owner what to do , he can only
offer advise and his primary job is making sure that the
debts or long term financial obligations are paid.

Curator must not disclose any private company information
or make statements that would damage the company in
any imaginable way.

If you are asking company owner of his future plans at this
point it's not going to work as I imagine the owner has to
wait and see then choose his options.

BTW You trying to get b*****d :) ?

Things like ownership etc will be reflected in public documents sooner or later. And info about managing director as well. After all, that's how we first found out about Matt Leaman's true involvement in A-eon (aka "AeonKit").

I think these questions needs to be answered. And I can't imagine I'm the only one...

@TRIPOS

Let me provide you a translation from the jargon of canned business press releases to layman's speech:

Quote:

"albeit that some resources had to be directed away"


"We had to finally pay some long standing creditors or the court would confirm the bankruptcy. Now we can at least use this as an excuse for the further upcoming stagnation of development"


Quote:

"The company is in the process of reorganizing itself"


"We have to figure out if it's still worth to keep the company running"


Quote:

"by opening up its shareholdership"


"The current owner doesn't want any (more) financial liability so we will try to keep the company running using enthusiasts' money. We don't make any profit as made clear by the bankruptcy, so the shares will make the investors feel they own a piece of amigaos, but they shouldn't expect a return"


Quote:

"and appointing a new exective director"


"Since we need to attract shareholders, we can't keep on the top spot the same name that let the company go bankrupt. So we'll find someone else to pretend he's the new leader with brand new strategies etc."

@TRIPOS

"Unanswered questions in the aftermath of Hyperion's bankruptcy" That have nothing to do with you. Go and look at the PUBLIC records, that's all you get, the rest is PRIVATE and absolutly none of your business.

The matter is over and dead, stop trying to pick over the corpse like a vulture are a few tasty titbits...

I suggest the mods close this thread too to stop the feeding frenzy.

Is that really what you want people to do? The public record is the "Belgisch Staatsblad". It doesn't get more official than that. And this is all it has to say about Hyperion.

I.e. according to the latest information from the official publication of the Belgian Justice Department, your statement
Quote:

is only accurate if "the matter" refers to Hyperion.

@umisef

It appears to say "Error: Unable to find site's URL to redirect to." which is an unusally commentary on a company's status...


@Tripos

This is just blatant attempt to repopen the locked thread, nothing useful will come of it, those question unanswered in the old thread will most likely remaion unanswered in this one.

How about removing the obvious copy-paste error before complaining?

And what is this a blatant attempt of? Meta-moderating, censorship, suppressing uncomfortable question perhaps?

I'm betting eliyahu is a lot smarter then you think after dealing with TMHG on Amiga.org.


@all

Amazing that some demand personal/non-public information from others & then claim privacy rights if its demanded of them. This isn't about defending Hyperion, this is about defending MY right to privacy.

Troll on...

I think moderators should be neutral, unbiased, objective, without personal interests and not power abusive, etc... so therefore I believe some people should not be in a moderator position and the possession of a banhammer.

@resle

That was an awesome and probably accurate explanation!

@ thread

To those who want these threads closed: You blind fanboyism is probably what has kept amiga os down. The best think YOU could hope for is Hyperion to no longer have a grip on "Amiga os4" How many years of development on this project and what we finally have a somewhat usable Operating system? Where is any software at all?
