How Credit Crunch Shaved Off At Least $45 Million Off Jupiterimages’ Sale To Getty Images

But the latest sale was not without hitches, and in fact the credit crisis that ballooned in September-October may have shaved almost $40 million to $45 million off the final deal price, based on the deal proceedings disclosed in JUPM’s PREM14A filing late last week.
