How exactly does one finance everything with loans against equity? What does that mean? How does he pay back the loans? With shares?



wow, borrowing against stock, how risky is that (for both him and his shareholders)?

apparently he has been sued about it http://articles.sfgate.com/2006-01-31/news/17279373_1_oracle...


The way I read your link, he was sued for something else, and this practice came to light during discovery.


Might be risky for him - I don't see why it's much of a risk for Oracle shareholders.
