 Fool.com: WestPoint Stevens Shredded [News] May 22, 2000
WestPoint Stevens shares quickly plummeted this morning as the company also said it ceased its six-month exploration of strategic alternatives, which theoretically might also have included an outright sale or merger but were never actually options for WestPoint.
Company executives talked up WestPoint's long-term potential, but the shares' sharp tumble may have suggested how much of the company's recent share price buoyancy was derived from the recapitalization offer, announced in early February by a group led by Chairman and CEO Holcombe Green Jr.
WestPoint is profitable, and operating margins have steadily expanded over the last four years to 14.2% as of the end of 1999 from 12.6% for 1996.

 Four Corners - 08/05/2006: The Boys
Westpoint’s bricks and mortar turned out to be a fl hole that — so far - has sucked at least $300 million from the nest eggs of small investors, mostly retirees.
Four Corners investigates how for at least four years the Westpoint group was able to market so-called mezzanine investment schemes — despite early warnings to the regulator - in behaviour that a judge says indicated "serious misconduct".
Four Corners finds that while Westpoint’s victims battle on, Norm Carey and Richard Beck are soldiering on too, despite a court-imposed freeze on their assets and an ASIC investigation.

 Probe reveals Westpoint cried poor over payments - Business - Business
The Westpoint director at the centre of the group's $300 million mezzanine finance web claims a Melbourne financial planning group demanded unreasonably high commissions to extend its clients' investments in a now-collapsed investment scheme.
Westpoint director Richard Beck, who was paid millions of dollars in commissions for promoting Westpoint's mezzanine schemes, said the Bongiorno financial planning group moved to cash in about $10 million of investments in Westpoint's York Street project in Sydney after Westpoint boss Norm Carey baulked at the Melbourne group's demands.
Westpoint began collapsing in November last year after ASIC went public with its investigation and launched an array of legal actions that culminated in the collapse of its mezzanine schemes, receivers taking control of most Westpoint's projects and liquidators taking charge of the flagship company Westpoint Corporation.
