Yeah, I'd like to know the answer to that question too.

Quoting:What I can't figure out is why over the course of the SCO saga so many organizations have signed up or tried to in order to keep the whole scam rolling. In 2003, before York Capital Management got involved there was BayStar Capital and the Royal Bank of Canada, which together invested a total of $50 million!

So we've had four serious investment companies – BayStar, the Royal Bank of Canada, York Capital and SNCP – that all apparently thought that SCO looked like a good business bet. That's despite the majority of the IT industry and the IT press calling BS on SCO's entire case!

Could someone please explain how these investors could ignore more-or-less an entire market telling them that the case was unethical, unfounded and untenable?

Because there was an entire mountain of cash telling them to go forward with the case.

The Magic Microsoft Mountain of Money!
