Now that the dust has cleared, it seems the whole bankruptcy was nothing more than a financial ploy to not only get out from under the debt acquired, but also for Hero to buy the company back for next to nothing.

Sometimes it seems as if bankruptcy can be a completely sham, if not complete crookery, as this looks from the outside looking in.
So who got squeezed? Seems that he did, but I could be wrong.
