So either the new owners know something we don't, or something smells very fishy here
It's clear you are not a VC - the usual pattern is:
1) Buy something undervalued (preferrably using debt raised against the company that you are buying).
2) Run the company into the ground, making sure that you extract as much cash as possible by selling off stuff and making them pay "management" fees to to for anything and everything
3) Sell off twitching corpse to someone with more money than sense
.. Profit!
