Times Online – American hedge fund managers sued Porsche and two of its former top managers yesterday for more than $1 billion (£620 million), in what may be one of the biggest damages claims ever received by a German company.
Four fund managers — Elliott Associates, Glenhill Capital Management, Glenview Capital Management and Perry Capital — accused the sports car manufacturer, its former chief executive and its former chief financial officer of repeatedly lying about their intention to take over Volkswagen.
