I don't think Denny Hecker is anywhere near broke. It seems to me that he's been in business long enough to know how to shield his personal wealth from his corporate liabilities.<br /> <br /> I wouldn't be suprised to hear Denny Hecker has enough personal wealth to bail out these failing businesses, but realizes it's not particularly a good investment.<br /> <br /> There’s seems to be some confusion here.

He says that none of these companies should be bailed out. I would guess that would extend to Mr. Hecker, as well.<br /> <br /> I do enjoy a good bison burger at Ted's Montana Grill.

I think he still can probably make good on those promises. They said he is giving all that land away to conservation groups when he goes.

Did anyone see the 60 Minutes interview with Ted Turner? At one point he was losing something like $10 million dollars a day on his AOL Time Warner stock. Denny is not Ted Turner but he has a trunk load of money. I don’t think Denny is going to have to hock those pinky rings anytime soon. Did anyone see the 60 Minutes interview with Ted Turner?
