...because organizing a hostile takeover, paying for the contract terminations, ripping out all the copper, cleaning it and gathering it all up in a form that can be delivered to a copper refiner, and finally shuttering the business and tying all loose ends is actually free, and in fact will somehow magically pay you not only the missing 20% of the price you paid, but an additional 20-60% you need to justify your trouble.
