Meanwhile in China . . .

Unfortunately, businesses go under all the time, but this might be a new one.

A cell phone company in China called Gionee is in serious trouble of going under, all because their founder, Liu Lirong, GAMBLED away the company’s funds . . . $1.44 Billion!

Liu claims that number is an exaggeration and he really only gambled away, “about one billion.”  Umm . . . OK dude, whatever helps you sleep at night.

In an attempt to salvage what’s left, Gionee is starting bankruptcy reorganization efforts next month.
