Enclave posted... I mean, that DID happen.
Let me see if I can find a link.

Basically firm buys Red Lobster, doesn't have enough money to buy Red Lobster so they sold off all the property Red Lobster owned and leased it back in order to pay for Red Lobster.
This likely had far more to do with why Red Lobster went broke than endless shrimp. It's insane to me how it's legal to buy a company with the companies own assets.
That sounds shady as hell! Should be illegal.
RL shouldn't have agreed to the sale.
