Not if the RICO act was used against them, and all rental properties are transferred to the renter in payment for fraud, conspiracy, interstate fraud, etc

Do you honestly think any other property owner would touch companies like this if this one popped like that?

I understand your frustrations. But nothing here is anywhere close to a RICO violation.

Oh look, the DOJ Antitrust Division uses fraud/false statements laws "to fight illegal activities that arise from conduct accompanying antitrust violations..."[1]. To me this company looks like a $10.2B bet on prosecutorial discretion. Remarkable.
