I wonder what the possibilities are now. Recovery? Closure? Mergers? And what would these mean for camera users? Who knows, perhaps the camera division is separate and isolated from all this.

"OLYMPUS has admitted that it hid losses by paying inflated fees to advisers on the 2008 acquisition of Gyrus Group, the first admission of wrongdoing from the Japanese camera and medical-equipment maker since accusations from its former chief executive surfaced four weeks ago.
The stock plunged yesterday after the company said it also used three other acquisitions to help hide the losses on investments from the 1990s. Japan's Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission is investigating the dealings.
Olympus, the world's biggest maker of endoscopes, plunged 29 per cent - the maximum allowable daily fall - at the open in Tokyo trading. The furore surrounding allegations by Michael Woodford after he was axed as CEO have caused the stock to lose almost 70 per cent of its value since October 14."
