Taxpayers lose $139 million as China buys Fisker

What a wreck
Another failed Obama stimulus project...

From the Washington Times:
It’s official: Taxpayers aren’t going to recoup the $139 paid into the failed Fisker Automotive company that went bankrupt because it was just bought up by a Chinese parts dealer, the Wanxiang Group.

The China company bought Fisker for just over $149 million at a recent U.S. bankruptcy auction, Fox News reported.

Plans are that Wanxiang will turn around and start selling the same car, albeit a bit changed model, back to U.S. markets by the end of the year. The company will also reach out to Europe for new sales, Fox News said.
The few Fiskers that were actually built were manufactured in Finland.

Debacle.
