The Urgent Rush to Close the Lexmark-Xerox
Deal Before Trumpism and FBI Intervention on Ninestar.
For years, Ninestar has been trying to offload Lexmark, but now with Donald Trump set to take office next month, the clock was ticking to finalize the deal before 2025. The urgency wasn’t just about market timing—it was also about politics and mounting ethical pressure.
Xerox and Lexmark have long been intertwined, with the two companies relying heavily on Ninestar’s Chinese-made printers and clone toner for the past five years. So, in a way, their eventual merger seems almost inevitable. However, the road to closing the deal is anything but smooth. Xerox is burdened with a staggering $5.8 billion in debt, a number that has raised red flags among investors and analysts alike. To make this merger happen, Xerox is expected to take on even more debt in 2025.
But there’s more at play here than just numbers. The shadow of Trumpism looms large over this deal, especially as Tonernews.com and its affiliates have made it a mission to shut down Ninestar’s U.S. operations in Chino, California once and for all. Ninestar has been accused of violating labor bans related to forced labor practices, and the company’s continued efforts to recruit U.S. dealers and resellers by sidestepping legal restrictions. Their disregard for U.S. laws has only intensified calls for action.
There’s a strong possibility that the U.S. government delayed action on shutting down Ninestar’s Chino, California operation due to this ongoing Xerox-Lexmark deal. Tonernews.com believes this move has temporarily shielded Ninestar from closer scrutiny. This suggests that the U.S. Gov. is keeping a close eye on the situation. However, all bets are off once Trump takes office in January 2025.
The rush to complete the Lexmark-Xerox deal is not just about seizing an opportunity in the market; it’s also about getting ahead of an impending storm of legal and political scrutiny. For Ninestar, its future in the U.S. appears increasingly uncertain, with Tonernews.com and its partners determined to expose what they see as widespread dishonesty and exploitation.
As these companies move toward integration, the question remains: Will Lexmark and Xerox be able to weather the storm, or will they find themselves entangled in a web of legal, financial, and political crises? One thing is for sure: the stakes are higher than ever.
