muikabochi 208 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I'm sure it will be making a ton of cash whatever it is. Getting a whole lot of publicity hey? "I'm sorry for causing disturbance to the public" Naughty. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 GF and I were speculating on this last night. I'm sure he will be back, lesson learned: don't piss-off the establishment. Link to post Share on other sites

indosnm 0 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Of course he will be back. Guys like him don't let what happened to him ruin their lives. I think he will come back stronger. He may find it hard to find investor confidence again, but he is still loaded and he can start up privately then bring it public once the public "forgets" about livedoor. He'll have to keep it all legit coz they'll be watching.. Link to post Share on other sites

Inflating profits, turnover etc. We'll see what the law decides in due course, but there doesn't seem to be much doubt he will be found guilty Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 2 1/2 years in the can. "Former Livedoor Co. President Takafumi Horie, the once celebrated IT entrepreneur, was sentenced Friday to 2-1/2 years in prison without suspension by the Tokyo District Court, for violating the securities law. In handing down the unusually harsh sentence to 34-year-old Horie, presiding Judge Toshiyuki Kosaka said Horie "played the central role" in all charges, and "deserves strong approbation for his crimes in deceiving individual investors and sacrificing their well-being in the pursuit of corporate gain." It is extremely rare for suspects convicted solely of securities law violations to be given a custodial sentence." "Explaining the tough sentence, the ruling said: "There was no evidence that, as manager of this public company, [Horie] had any consideration for investors. He never apologized in court to shareholders and investors who suffered enormously, and there has been no sign of remorse."" Sounds about right. I find it pitiful when someone takes the salary and perks when thing go right, and blames the employees when things turn to custard. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Pitiful but rather common I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 As someone I know very well (you don't know him) would say - and says it far too often - someone as rich and successful as him is never "clean". Discuss. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I don't agree with that at all. That sounds like the kind of thing a "poor" person would say about "rich" person. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 It does rather doesn't it. This guy is a "quite rich" person. Link to post Share on other sites
