То есть, не 90 тонн, а 150 тонн на 10,400 км. То есть, явно прямой конкурент Ан-225 по грузоподьёмности, хотя и не предназначенный для перевозок грузов с уникальными габаритами.

 

Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) inquiry

On November 24, 2003, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Mike Sears, was dismissed for cause as the result of circumstances surrounding the hiring of Darleen Druyun, a former U.S. Government official. Druyun, who had been vice president and deputy general manager of Missile Defense Systems since January 2003, also was dismissed for cause. At the time of our November 24 announcement that we had dismissed the two executives for unethical conduct, we also advised that we had informed the USAF of the actions taken and were cooperating with the U.S. Government in its ongoing investigation. The investigation is being conducted by the U.S. Attorney in Alexandria, Virginia, and the Department of Defense Inspector General concerning this and related matters. Subsequently, the SEC requested information from us regarding the circumstances underlying dismissal of the two employees. We are cooperating with the SEC’s inquiry. (Druyun was sentenced to nine months imprisonment and three years probation on October 1, 2004. At her sentencing, Druyun and the government asserted that she gave us favorable treatment on the 767 Tanker negotiations, NATO AWACS claim, C-130 AMP Contract award, and C-17 negotiations in 2000, and that this treatment was influenced by employment negotiations and relationships with us.) It is not possible to determine at this time what further actions the government authorities might take with respect to this matter, or whether those actions could or would have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
