Agreed. Clear the books, have people who "know" the business restart it.

They've already pi$$ed away something like $80 million...what could possibly go wrong with keeping around a few of the architects of the debacle? They just found a new sucker. Definitely a F.I.R.E plan for a couple folks

If only the rest of us were just so lucky

I think the business plan can work if they scale their expenses to the revenue. But not many private ventures in the bike biz can afford CEOs, business managers, etc. Managing overhead is their continuing issue
