Isn't this exactly what happened to Toys R Us as well? Bought up by a hedge fund, saddled with millions of dollars of debt to funnel its value to the hedge fund, then bankrupted and sold off for a pittance, laundering all the profit and wiping the debt away like it was never there. All while putting tons of people out of work.

I love you, Dr Zaius!
Same thing happened (according to the original founders that sold the company) to Mervyn’s in the west coast.
