The story issued in today’s edition of Wall Street Journal in regards to yet another Yahoo takeover attempt was incorrect.

The story released today has Jonathan Miller, former CEO of AOL, out to pitch private equity fund for raising $28 – $30 billion in an attempt to acquire Yahoo.
Miller, in association with his partner at Velocity Interactive Group, Ross Levinsohn, was also holding the center stage in the weekend story released by The Times.
