Then there was the shake up at ICG and ANACS at the end on 2007 when Taylor tried and failed to buy ICG, so he then bought ANACS and stripped ICG of many of their graders. For many months both ANACS and ICG were on life support and once again both companies took a serious blow to their reputations.
