Of course I didn't know that, but if true, that's wonderful. I am saddened by the ongoing destruction of value when a decent product or company is acquired, and then shuttered because it's not quite the juggernaut the acquirer expected it to be, or because there's some unforseen misalignment, even though this company was a viable business. Selling it back is a great solution, instead of doing a write-off where the company is destroyed.
