Primary Evidence
"The Arnault Group operates on the principle of a cash pool, controlled and managed by Financière Agache: all companies, from top to bottom of the hierarchy, contribute funds or withdraw them according to their needs. In 1999, Montaigne Participation et Gestion (MPG), the head company of Bernard Arnault, borrowed 3 billion francs from the cash pool. Markas BV, one of the Dutch companies that holds stakes in Internet companies, received 4.3 billion francs. This blurs the line between different entities, although there is nothing illegal about it since the interest rates paid by one party or the other are the same."
