Dryships' Questionable Deals Don't Help Investor Confidence [View article]
User 208657:
George Economou does not get the $104M cash for free. It was payment for a purchase option. DRYS will have the option to pay another $160M to get the four ships, before the end of 2009, hence save $80M from the original $400M price tag). And why would DRYS not proceed with the purchase option? $160M for 4 near new condition cape size ships seems to be rather cheap.
