And if this is not better than a Hollywood movie, I'm a monkey's
uncle.
The difference is that the movie script has to make sense
and be believable which rules it out.

Well, there may be a simple explanation. Possibly, no German citizen is prepared
to be appointed to take responsibility for what SCO US wants them to do... There
is more responsibility for one's actions, in Europe..[ Reply to This | # ]

At the 341 hearing Darl said Me Inc was an empty shell with no assets or
liabilities.
Somehow this company did work on a product release and put out a press release
yesterday. Beyond the fact of it being interesting how and why an empty shell
would put out a press release, it would be interesting to know if the Cattleback
patent sale would affect the ability of Me Inc to operate.

If this is true, is this a way of paying people bonuses while in Chapter 11?

It seems there are at least six other companies listed at that address. On
Google Maps the building doesn't look huge.
So I'm guessing that SCO
Germany isn't a huge outfit.
Interestingly, this page, updated October 12th, lists only two people;
Hans Bayer as manager (Geschäftsführer) and Werner Metz as sales
manager (Vertriebsleiter).
And while the title might imply that
there are more people doing sales, it is a pretty common trick to call a single
salesperson a sales manager to make the position look more
important.

Most companies have 'careers' as one of the standard items on the homepage menu.
Oddly enough, SCO germany isn't one of them. And neither is sco.com.
I wonder why? ;-)

So here is another loss in
the win-loss colume. This this makes their record, what, 0 for (too many loses
to recall).
Here is a report from Linux-Watch. SCO loses again [ Reply to This | # ]

... is that in Germany, being CEO (Geschaeftsfuehrer) can land you in jail very
quickly if the company is engaged in illegal activities, particularly bankruptcy
fraud. You can also be held personally liable quite easily.
It should also be noted that the state attorney's office is notified of and
investigates every bankruptcy filing.
On the plus side, jails in Germany are supposedly a lot nicer than federal
penitentiaries in the US.[ Reply to This | # ]

History of "The SCO Group GmbH":
1.) The SCO Group GmbH, Frankfurt am Main
2.) The Santa Cruz Operation (Deutschland) GmbH, Bad Homburg
3.) Caldera GmbH, Bad Homburg
Ahh, the good old times... But now I'm a little puzzled whether they are
currently in Frankfurt or Bad Homburg. Well, no big difference.

think "soap opera"
where it can take a pregnant woman 5 episodes to deliver a baby
where plot unfolds over 2, 3 or 5 year spans, and the plots become incredibly
convoluted, mixed-up and incestuous (this recent SCOG/Baystar/Emerson/MS/York
stuff is classic soap opera stuff)- incestuous, and to outsiders, completely
ridiculous. [ Reply to This | # ]

Interesting because:
She cannot be served a writ because she will
not be in Germany
They cannot be sued in the US of A because of the
stay
They have no money to fight the case or pay fines without Judge
Gross' permission.
More delay in Delaware where Judge Gross will be
asked to declare their cases stayed. (the ongoing case is about SCO Germany
trying to shut someone up).
FUD and propaganda for
free
More delay whilst the get the cash into the subsidiaries, never
to be seen again

there's not enough permanent staff to go around. So Jean has to wear several
