Singapore
DISTRESSED startup honestbee has sold off some of its furniture and goods to its staff, including its management, at a 20 to 30 per cent discount to the purchase price depending on the item, honestbee's chief executive Ong Lay Ann told The Business Times on Monday.
However, he was unable to immediately provide an estimate of how much worth of assets honestbee has liquidated in total. In a follow-up response, an honestbee spokesperson declined to comment on the matter, citing ongoing court proceedings over the company's bid to restructure US$230 million in debt.
