ib_jigged Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Irwin Jacobs owns a few companies. He is the one that took Arctic Enterprises over in the early 80's and the reason Arctic Cat went under.A very controversial business man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ib_jigged Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 You might have a hard time convincing a lot of old timers here in TRF about him not having much to do with that. He has also bought and liquidated lots of companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
