Mel suckered investors well, but in the end doesn't need them. If Sirius filed bankruptcy tomorrow, all it would mean is Mel gets rid of the investors. The operation does fine and will continue just as it always did. Nearly 17 million subscribers and growing and nearly 2 million income a month could mean private take over by a private equity firm or even a terrestrial heavyweight like Clear Channel or even CBS. But don't count on bankruptcy any time soon. Mel still looks golden minus invenstors, Sirius takes care of an upcoming balloon debt payment, and the only suckers that loose are those stupid enough to invest money. Don't confuse investing with operating a company. Sirius is doing fine and will continue to do so. As for investing in Sirius, the world of investing often makes no sense. It matters little, investors don't pay for Sirius debt, Sirius does. And they will renegotiate the debt, pay of the 300mil this Feb and sat radio will continue to grow as it is.
