Below find 4 pieces that will help you understand the sad and bizarre failure Magna Entertainment is.
To understand the players:
A.) Magna Entertainment Corp (MEC): Stronach Racing-related business
B.) Magna Development Inc (MDI): Holding company created by Frank to lend money to MEC and manage real estate/lease property to Magna Industries entities. The entity Greenlight invested in and complains is failing to provide value to shareholders by fatuously pandering to failed MEC needs.
C.) Magna Industries (MI): Original, highly successful and financially stable Stronach auto parts business.
