Bernstein Research’s Jeffrey Lindsay says new litigation filed by Joltid against eBay, Skype and its pending investors stems from the Joltid owners’ failure to buy back Skype from eBay. Joltid is looking to enjoin Skype from operating in the United States and seeks $75 million-plus per day in damages. Joltid’s owners earlier this year tried to buy back Skype but balked at what they believed was too high a price from eBay. Lindsay says the suit is designed to thwart the current eBay sell-off until the Joltid owners get a payout.
