Etymology Corner 📚:
The word "default" comes from Middle English "defaute," meaning "failure." In this case, both time and money defaulted - but only one kept accumulating!
When "Time" Towers Don't Keep Time! ⏰
Imagine paying for an apartment in a building called "Time Tower" only to wait... and wait... and wait! 😅 That's exactly what happened in Hanoi, where PVR Holdings just announced their THIRD year of "temporary suspension" while holding onto $10.7 million in customer deposits! Talk about time standing still!
The Numbers That Make You Go "Wait, What?" 🤔
- 💰 Customer deposits held: 257 billion VND ($10.7M)
- ⏳ Project delay: 10+ years (since 2013)
- 💸 Company's cash on hand: 104 million VND ($4,300)
- 📉 Accumulated losses: 88.3 billion VND ($3.7M)
The Legal Plot Thickens! 🕵️♂️
Timeline of "Temporary" Troubles:
- 2023: Bank accounts frozen due to lawsuit 🏦❄️
- 2024: Operations suspended for "restructuring" 🔄
- 2025: Another year of "temporary" suspension announced 📅
Did You Know? Mind-Blowing Facts! 🤯
- The company has more customer deposits than cash by a ratio of 2,471:1!
- Their stock price (1,000 VND) is less than a cup of street coffee! ☕
- The "Time Tower" has been under construction longer than some of its potential residents have been alive! 👶
Nature's Parallel 🌿
Just like how some trees can survive dormant for years during drought, but eventually need water to grow, companies can't survive indefinitely on "temporary" suspensions!
