Thousands of Enron employees thought the same as you. They were ruined when their stock went to 0 overnight due to corporate malfeasance that was hidden from them

Enron didn't collapse overnight. And employees should the first ones who realised that something is going wrong in the company.
Stock price closed at $4.11 27th of Novemeber.

Stock price closed at $0.60 28th of November.

I'm willing to say that wasn't the literal definition of overnight but it is close enough for a turn of phrase.
