Owner and founder Erik Prince said selling the company is a difficult decision, but constant criticsm of Xe helped him make up his mind.

"Performance doesn't matter in Washington, just politics," Prince said in a further statement.
To bad Erik didn't embrace this mantra 10 yrs ago...

Back in the real world,,,

is there something to sell??

Isn't this a company of out-source labor. The "value" is in the individual worker-bees.

Is there a physical or material asset that can be sold??

Would not the contracts with Uncle would be dissolved and re-bid because of the security clearances of the owners??

Well they appear to have a new showroom with the old name being built on Reilly Rd, looks like a nice new building except of course for the giant Blackwater name on it.
