The White House and Office of Management and Budget were told by DOE on Aug. 11 — a full 20 days before Solyndra filed for bankruptcy — that the California solar company was “experiencing difficulties and that a bankruptcy or restructuring is imminent,” according to an internal OMB email.
“This issue could become public very quickly since Solyndra may already be unable to pay their suppliers,” the email states.
As of Aug. 11, all but $8.2 million of the $535 million loan guarantee had been handed out to Solyndra, and OMB wasn’t optimistic any of the taxpayer money would be seen again.
Further down in the article it speaks of "OMB email" Office of MO?
No, OMB is Office of Management and Budget.
