Razor not bankrupt. We reported yesterday about the possibly closing of
Razer/karna. According to general manager Robert Krakoff, the company is
still alive.
While it is true that a large investor did back out, we are still selling
mice and still staying afloat as a result. We're talking to several
companies and still have several options, so hopefully we can make something
work. We're very optimistic.
There's some more from Krakoff on eSports-America where he says that Razer
has been looking for development funding for the last several months. They
need to raise about $6 to $10 million to keep developing the Mamba mouse and
other products.
