More AMZN sleaze from Yahoo: In December 1997, AMZN borrowed $75 million from Deutsche. Part of the collateral included warrants at an exersize price of $52.11 per share. Does anyone know if this loan has been repaid? If not, could it be more than coincidence that Deutsche just initiated coverage with an accumalate recommendation. If the loan has been repaid, why so fast. Could this have had something to do with Bertelsmann's alliance with Barnes & Noble? Was the loan repaid with the warrants? If it was repaid with warrants, could the Deutsche coverage be more than just coincidence? Am I reading too much between the lines, or is there more to this than meets the eye?
