They may just be restructuring to get out of certain debt and law suits.

Smallish construction companies do this all the time. They build an apartment complex, don't pay the subcontractors then officially go broke so they don't have to pay their creditiors. 3 months later the directors start a new company and on it goes...

as is just about every thread on getbig. If pointless mattered this site wouldn't exist.

Maybe we should wait until it comes out in the magazines before we say anything. Would that make you feel better?

so far you have presented no evidence whatsoever and nobody backs you up and you've been registered less than a month. you don't have any credibility around here.

You have to possess credibility to attack credibility.

IF Muscletech or Iovate filed for bancruptcy, if is most likely an ephedra lawsuit defense. The owners of Xenadrine (Cytodyne) did this when the wife if the baseball pitcher that died sued for $600 million (yes, the fat pitcher with too much clothing on and didn't eat for days - his wife wanted that much in a wrongful death suit). There was obviously not enough money (insurance or in cash) to settle - hence the bancruptcy. This led to the sale of the BRAND to Pinnacle.

Other companies have done the same - I believe AST is one of them due to lawsuits.

There is a slight chance that the filing may have come from poor asset/cash management. Let's face it, these guys pay a ton for ads, athletes, slotting fees, marketers, etc. If they got too far ahead of themselves or didn't see a good return on some investments (like research?), they may be in trouble.

Companies like GEN went out of business based on the business, not lawsuits from what I know.
