> I recommend you spend some time reading up on it

I work for a portal that was recently acquired. The company who acquired the portal is, in part, owned by the same companies that own the telco that sold the portal, but the composition is different. I'm not even sure there are no cycles in the graph - it's perfectly possible some of the entities involved own themselves.



That's amusing. Can you have two companies that own each other? If so, how long does it take to finalize the books at tax time?


I wouldn't try to form such a short cycle, but it would be fun to form a series of other cycles with the ownership graph in such a way that drawing the graph would give the prospective investigator a congratulatory message ;-)
