Rumours

So does anyone know what's happening with XXXXXX? I've heard rumours they've hit major financial problems.

Hey there,
I've XXXXed out the name of the company - spreading those sorts of rumours is like shouting 'fire' in a crowded theatre. There are some widespread rumours at the moment, but they'll only be published on the site if something specific and reportable does happen.

Having said that, I have heard this particular rumour from about 7 sources now. It's getting frankly embarrassing. I might ask their press office for a statement at some point, and post the denial of problems up. That way everyone will know exactly which organisation Definitely Aren't having problems.

Sorry to resurrect a old post, but I have no idea which org this thread is talking about, or what the problems were, but did you ask at the press office for a statement and post up the denial of problems? What happened in the end?

This really is an old post. A related story on the site is about rumours concerning A4e, which have quite clearly proven false by their continued existence over a year later. I'm shutting this discussion topic down now as it's dead-as-a-door-nail.
