Meet the Glocks

Post by MachineGhost »

[quote=http://www.businessweekme.com/Bloomberg ... newsid/250]Helga Glock and her adult children are gathered in a private lounge of the elegant Hotel Palais Hansen Kempinski on a stately boulevard in central Vienna. Dressed in a tasteful grey suit and pearls, Helga, 78, has bright copper-red hair. She sits on an easy chair that’s upholstered in white leather. Her daughter, Brigitte, and two sons, Gaston?Jr. and Robert, perch knee-to-knee on an adjacent couch. China cappuccino cups clutter the coffee table between us. Speaking in German via a translator, and with a lawyer listening from a seat a few feet away, they’re discussing how their lives changed in 2011. That’s when Gaston Glock Sr. cut all ties with Helga and his sons and daughter.

The four have an agenda. Helga is locked in bitter litigation against her exhusband. She accuses him of hiding hundreds of millions of dollars of the family’s money outside Austria and cheating her out of a substantial ownership share in Glock GmbH, the company they built together. At stake, apart from an awful lot of money, is the future of one of the best-known brands in the world.[/quote]

I think it was the stroke.  What's really offputting is the gold digger, Kaithlyn.  She's 50 years his junior!!!  How the hell did she get her foot in the door when he was cowering in fear in his bunker?
