I saw that too. Stated they were close to a major acquisition in December, but I believe this is for a foreign company. US, and European countries are on them about skipping out on taxes with all their cash stored elsewhere. Don't think there is anything here, but who knows.
That money is held overseas to maintain low tax rates. VPLM isn't an overseas company. I don't think Google will be looking to be taxed for earned capital brought into the country to buy anything. They have $25B on shore in the US already. Unless there's some loophole-y magic that occurs when paying from a specific foreign account. If that's even allowed. Anybody know anything about purchase of US companies with money from foreign tax havens?
