Sabre Defence liquidation

A receivership called by secured creditors is a bad sign.

Obviously it signals a lack of faith in the direction of the company and its ability to build equity. Much can still happen though before it really is a final nail.

Even under crippling debt, it is not uncommon for secured investors to call a receivership to retrieve their money, only to form a new, clean corporation free of liens and debts. Non-secured regular and irregular creditors and employees take it in the ass. But the assets survive to migrate to the new corporation free of old entanglements. The secured creditors lose little more than legal and accounting fees. But they stand to gain substantially from such a maneuver.

But that is just one specific case. There are many reasons to call a debenture or secured note. I wonder if another group will tender a credit bid for the assets and receivables to form a new company -- Saber NG or some such...

No doubt many will want to move to arms length from the drama Saber has created.

Given that the entire upper executive has been charged with criminal conspiracy, this is hardly unusual, and in no way reflects on Sabre's performance financially. I'm afraid it's one of those ITAR strikes again things.

There is warrants out for most of them. The US also has extradition orders out for some people in the UK. It's all about Sabre USA shipping vast amounts AR parts to the UK without export permits.
 
yep was taking to a few of my contacts, those ar15 parts thet were shipped to the uk managed to find there way to other parts of the world, they they should not have been.
Saber tryed to say they were stolen, but it was staff member with famliy i nthe near east that got the parts..... whoder what they wanted them for...
It looks like eveyone from mi5.mi6 cia interpol was involved in this bust.
At least there is no canadian conection this time.

And here I've got Guy Savage in my BBM, guess I know why I haven't heard from him in awhile.
 
Owned Landrovers for 20 years, never had a tranny drop out one? They had other issues, of course owning a landrover required that the owner actaully knew how to drive and properly operate a gearshift and clutch.
 
Looks like the real bee in the bonnet is the technology export. Simply emailing certain drawings, CAD files and the like would result in these charges. Fixtures and tooling would also fall under this.
 
This seems too bad. Sabre was one of the few brands easy to import with 14.5" barrel as they were coming from the UK and not the US.

Oh well.
 
Another possible charge right there. Exporting those from the UK to Canada could be a violation of the ITAR agreements they signed on to, due to the technology used to build them.
