Default Finnish car company gets $528.7 million

to build an electric car that will go a whole FIFTY MILES!!!

And all for $40,000.

What could possibly go wrong?

Guess who is right in the middle of it.

Fisker has raised tens of millions of dollars from top venture capital
firms such as Palo Alto Investors and Kleiner Perkins Caufield &
Byers, of which former Vice President Al Gore is a partner.

Now we are bailing out Al Gore. Anybody want to bet how much of that
$528 million is going to repay Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers?
