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, for one, welcome our new Dr Zaus overlords.
I love you, Dr Zaius!
Same thing happened (according to the original founders that sold the company) to Mervyn’s in the west coast.
