Re: Deal is actually $228 milliom OM, the techcrunch article has an important keyword. They aren't buying Blockbuster, they are buying assets from it. This likely means that the corporation known as Blockbuster is being liquidated insrtead of finding a way out of bankrupcy. And this means that those buying assets don't get the liabilities/debts.
This makes for a far more interesting purchase then. |
