Bankruptcy, Henry out (sort of), bondholders managing the company (which is normally a codeword for "will decimate the brand") but the bondholder guy says the right thing at the end of the article. Have to wait and see I suppose.

I heard a good saying this week - if you want to own a small company, buy a big one and get accountants to run it. I hope this doesn’t become Gibson. I haven’t had a response to my application for CEO. Maybe the request for one new R9 every month as a fringe perk was too much.
Want a seat on the board? I like your thinking.Slowy wrote: You phrased it wrong. The monthly R9 is for quality assurance purposes.
