Mitt Romney's firm was involved. Paid WAY too much.
I might be wrong, but I thought paying too much was the business plan. Way too much debt, lots of percentage-based fees, sell assets and make more fees, and watch it all go away and move on to the next future corpse.

IHeartRadio (formerly ClearChannel) just declared bankruptcy, too, under the same sort of circumstances, including Bain.

The whole idea with an LBO is that the buyers actually "pay" very little. All the money comes from others.

The debt holders are gonna take a bath here, but even they got higher interest rates, and will get some cash out of the liquidation.
