His Credit rating should be good .
It's not just about having that wealth. That wealth is tied up into business etc that he has to extract. And for the record he is putting in $250,000,000.
Everyone seems happy to slate SRB yet not Stelios. The fat pig has just got a £60 million dividend. The board could donate that £174m back into the airline, and since he's the largest shareholder surely he should put some wealth back into the airline. He's worth $1.5 billion. Can donate $100,000,000? Surely. Or does it not suit the Daily Mail/The Scum/Daily Express *insert other crappy tabloids* agenda and propaganda. And therefore the government can give them a loan for £600,000,000 for nothing. For the record i'm not a Virgin employee, i'm just someone who has seen total injustice at not only how Virgin/Easy have been treated, but also hypocrisy at its best.
Everyone seems happy for them to go yet doesn't realise the wider implications for our economy.
