1. Why would tuskys want to take 51% of Nakumatt. What would they gain apart from 51% of a 40 billion of debt? Surely that's like throwing good money after bad? No other investor is willing to to touch them so why Tuskys?
2. Wouldn't it be easier for the owners of Nakumatt to be declared insolvent and wound up? Why are they intent on dragging this charade on? Nakumatt has lost credibility so it's brand is worthless now. Even if things were good and they made 1 billion profit every year, it will take decades to pay its creditors back!
I have just seen an analysis by someone online. What they owe is much much more than the value of their entire inventory at their peak when fully stocked. In short, the 40Bn didn't go to buy stocks, its stashed somewhere.
Why Tuskys ? They couldn't trust anyone else to come on board. Who else would keep quiet once they discover the hidden skeletons ? If the deal goes through, they simply come back with tuskys as their front using money they screwed the banks and suppliers.
