Siriusware had a hiccup, at least. I didn't have much communication with them since Tuesday, and I can only guesstimate, based on tiny clues in the language. It sounded like they had a "you must cut the costs nn% by tomorrow, or else" offer they couldn't refuse.
And we know the ruling economic theory around here - the only method of cutting costs that banks like to see is layoffs. Laid off people will sooner or later have to start living on loans, ergo the banks will own them in the end. Not all and not all the time, but if theory is out there, it will produce results, in hands of believers.
I may be completely off base here, of course, but with almost total overnight communication cut, can't know better.
