OK, I've tried to parse this sentence for about three minutes now, and it still makes no sense:

In December 2003, the company admitted it had 3.95 billion euros of missing funds when its bank, Bank of America, found a document showing Parmalat's unit in the Cayman Islands was holding the money was false.

Someone was following too closely an injunction to remove the word "that," I suspect. It means something now. --Charles A. L. 17:27, Feb 23, 2004 (UTC)

Still not that clear --Rj 05:58, Apr 4, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] "Over-milking the cash cow"

This may seem a good headline, but it doesn't really match the facts. The real problem was there's not a lot of cash in dairy business generally, as Parmalat prosecutors have repeatedly remarked.

Renamed to "Other Financial Issues" --[[U

[edit] Playboy mansion?

Removed the line "He invested in a playboy mansion with girls such as Farhat working there which benefitted him", which might have been part of a previous version that have been edited out. Besides, a cursory search with Google didn't find anything that refers to Tanzi living like Hefner.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Buconero.gif

Image:Buconero.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 16:09, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
