Tough to Liquidate a Dot Com
from the the-story-of-the-week dept
As more and more dot coms are going out of business, there are more stories about what this all means. Here's a report concerning the problems of liquidating a dot com since there are so few tangible assets. The more interesting part of the article is the discussion of Craftshop.com at the end. Craftshop filed Chapter 11 a while back as their investors pulled the plug on them and stopped giving them the money they had agreed to. What's odd is that now one of those investors is looking to buy up Craftshop's assets. So, they stopped investing, but want to buy the assets. It all seems a bit questionable.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
