The dollar amount of an alleged fraudulent bid to take over Textron Inc., owner of Bell, by Melville ten Cate. An SEC complaint states that in November 2020, ten Cate took out an ad in The New York Times promoting that his (now defunct) company, Xcalibur Aerospace Ltd., would buy Textron shares for a 56% premium. The Times never collected payment for the ad. The SEC says a history of business failures, questionable commercial dealings, unpaid debts, and allegations of fraud helped Textron determine that the offer “lacked credibility.” Federal prosecutors in Manhattan filed an indictment in April charging the 53-year-old with plotting fraud.
