Looks like banks not stupid after all - LIBOR plus 5% on a $300 million loan? - sounds like expensive loan for top grade coal mine during mining boom. Now maybe Bumi will pay central government profit taxes and royalty owes for the last few years ? - wahh but wait - turns out Bumi set up complicated and probably illegal transfer pricing arrangement with Cayman front company so that Bumi mines never make big profit, plus very expensive contract with friendly party with money coming in back door - that mean no tax for central government. Central government must wondering wether divestment worth it - For sure foreigner company BHP / BP and Rio Tinto always pay the tax and royalty on time from before when they own Arutmin and KPC.
As for many suppliers to the mines who send invoice and get no payment for 4 month - they probably wondering wether they can get LIBOR plus 5% on their outstanding invoice. They also wonder wether the loan money gonna be use for something else - mud getting deeper at Lapindo.
But who is the name of this "friendly party" Pak? dont keep us guessing.
Biggest friendly party / nyamuk that give 'uang terima kasih' (kickback) are PT Darma Henwa - for sure really owned by Bakrie themself, followed by PT Thiess Indonesia, PT Mahakam Nusa Energi and PT Multi Kontrol Nusantara. There are others also. Many friends play together with other peoples money.
