If the rumors are true out of Switzerland....there's to be paperwork presented to a Swiss court by Friday, and the Nord Stream II guys are finished in terms of a viable business.
The way things work in Switzerland?
1. The board of the company would meet and discuss their liabilities and capital. The board would agree to step 2.
2. The board would present papers to say they don't have the capital to cover bills. Somewhere in this, there will be the suggestion that restructuring might 'help'.
3. A list of creditors will be established, and fairness will be applied to all debt.
4. Board members (to some degree) will be held accountable.
5. At some point, the assets will be listed, and liquified (probably will take several months to reach this stage).
6. The odds this might be drawn out enough, that the war halts, and things reverse themselves? Well....if you go reading over things, that's possible, but they can't hold out for years.
7. Finally to the question of assets.....is there anyone really willing to put money down to buy Nord Stream II? Maybe there is a Chinese billionaire out there with cash.....who thinks things will change in a year or two.
