Debt-laden Greek companies, with nowhere to turn for further loans, may go belly up or be gobbled up. "Without cash, you're dead as a business," says Aegean's Vassilakis, whose company is in discussions for a possible merger with Olympic Air. For Basil Stephanis, president of Selonda, a $167 million aquaculture company with fish farms in Greece, Turkey and Wales, Greece's woes are an "opportunity to consolidate and buy up companies with liquidity problems."
