I dunno, mate.  Generally, a company this large doesn't get to the point of a bankruptcy filing without there having been some writing on the wall. 

I don't see any way that MT's financial woes could've been kept secret from this crowd. 

GetBig knows ALL.

This industry will be hurting if MuscleTech goes down. They seem to be one of the few companies willing to put out money into their athletes, a ton of ad revenue will be lost to the publications, not to mention title sponsorship of the Olympia – that’s some serious cash gone.

I think their products suck, but they probably are in 100 million a year range - high margin at that. It just goes to show how the lawsuits are taking their toll.

I don't know how much they paid for their Olympia ad in Times Square, but I'm willing to bet it was a huge waste of cash.

Maybe it is true.The newer products were maybe a way to create new revenue to keep their company in business.Have to wait & see I guess. I just know what's his name that posts here (McWay or McWhey or whatever it is)  & likes MT prods will be in sale heaven w/their products if it is true.
