[AT] SemiOT - big JD dealer shut by Feds

Humm.  I'll have to talk with my daughter about that.  She and her
husband live in Hudson.

Subject: [AT] SemiOT - big JD dealer shut by Feds

Just got a call from an excavator friend, Feds just chained the gates on
Mahnen Machinery, a big JD construction equipment dealer chain in
NE Ohio, 5 locations, 100 mechanics.

http://www.mahnen.com/ - site is still up...

Reportedly they owed JD millions, and had been doing some creative
accounting.

Perfect timing, start of the construction season.

This guy's employer is almost entirely JD, as are many others around
here.

Some pretty unhappy campers around here!
