Just last week, the crotchety 85-year-old was forced to dump $233 million worth of shares in Viacom and CBS to raise cash to comply with debt covenants—a move which significantly reduced Redstone's controlling stakes in both companies. Now, experts are wondering if he'll have to sell either CBS or Viacom outright.
