My question would be: Why not?

Perhaps they're waiting for the CEO to come back from his long vacation.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that most funds are only allowed to invest capital once, so any of the $40M they get back (which I'd hope would be a somewhat large chunk) can no longer be invested.

A smarter move may be looking at and pursuing several pivots, use that 40M to create a few startups within a startup and see if you can get something started that will provide a healthy return.

Exactly, although they have a tarnished brand. They could find the most talented developer and become somewhat of a Mobile incubator. They've got a lot of deals and scale having dealt with Verizon, physical space and employees. They could use Color labs as the shell for lots of products.
