4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The debentures, it is true, were issued at a heavy discount. But we are referred to no provision of law forbidding the issuance of bonds by corporations at a discount, and the general rule is that corporations may borrow at a discount (citations omitted). In this case the offer of debentures at the discount complained of was made to the debtor’s stockholders. We see no reason to doubt the validity of the debentures for full face value.”
