Byline: Edward Lapham

It took four years of legal wrangling and mudslinging and sucked tens of millions of dollars out of the company, but in the end a US court ruled in favor of DaimlerChrysler and against billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian.

No one who was paying attention would have believed Daimler-Chrysler was created by a merger of equals, so you have to wonder why Kerkorian claimed he was misled by Daimler-Benz AG CEO Jurgen Schrempp into believing that it was.

Did Schrempp pull a fast one? Probably.

Should Kerkorian have known what was happening? Absolutely.
