“...with what we know, what can we conjecture?”
I conjecture that the guy who started the company decided a cash infusion was needed from an investor, or “horse”, an older term.
Yep. I’ve never been keen on the use of “Virgin” as a brand name and it has developed something of a spotty record of late. But startups often have to pay big to license a big brand (e.g., Trump) and this investment to me gives credibility and capital for more free market passenger rail solutions. Seems like a positive all around.
