Marty, The Dot Com Cleanup Guy, Is Not Done Yet
from the keep-'em-failing dept
We've already written two different stories about Marty Pichinson, the "dot com cleanup guy" who made quite a name for himself after the bubble burst in shutting down and liquidating failed dot coms. Now that the economy seems to be picking up, you might think that Marty is looking for a new line of work, but he believes that things couldn't be better in the liquidation business as he's quite sure that there are a large number of "walking dead" companies that aren't going anywhere. In fact, he recently moved from LA to Palo Alto since he expects to be quite busy in Silicon Valley over the next few years. I'd bet he's also smelling the latest dot com bubble, and expecting that it will pop soon.
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.
