bm3121,(Richmond I assume), see u at the after party then!
My 2 cents worth.
GS are in the business of M&A & funding as well as being a bank now.
In short, GS has no conflict of interest. MAE went to GS to find a buyer for its assets. IMHO that will happen GS need fees for that service...
If for whatever reason a buyer is not found for MAE, GS may, and they have the right to do so, buy MAE and hold it for future asset play, akin to an underwriter.
I for one could not be happier that GS is on our team and not some other tin pot outfit.
Ultimately its US MAE shareholders who will ratify any deal...

By all accounts and other posters here somthing will happen this week or next week???
Cheers GSL.
