Bug patch 3.0.19: Subsidiary unable to take loan

In 3.9.19 my media subsidiary was running dangerous low on cash. The company had 190 million in cash, I went to financial actions -> beta Corp -> loan/borrow and told it to take out max loan of 300 million. in addition I had them issue me 250 million in shares to buy time for a turn around.

their cash went to 500 million, after a month I checked rankings for beta Corp loan was 0. I checked loan no loan was taken out. I tried to take loan of 500 million and the cash didn't change and rankings reflected no loan.

can someone see if this is a problem in the latest patch ad well.

i can easily take out / repay loans on any subsidary in 3.0.23 also worked fine for me on previous versions including 3.0.19

having laying around $500m in cash and pay roughly $50m anual interest is not very wise, therefore could it be possible that the subsidary ceo did repay the loans after you made that heavy cash infusiuon by issuing shares? i noticed that some of my subs i dont hold 75% yet, issued new shares to try to kick me out but with max shares issued they only bumped me down to 50,xx % and instantly after issueing those shares the ceo of this subs did repay the corporation loans completely. it seems a kinda standard strategy of the A.I. .. atleast 1 good strategy they have ;) sometimes they are successfull to kick me out of control that way for a few days (i only buy if price is good)

that's possible that the crowd paid it back since I did see 100,000 in loan interest in think due to no transparency I wasn't able to tell.
