Yeah no. If the stores were worth keeping open without the debt, then the bankruptcy court would keep them open. They lost money in each of the last 4 years, without as much of a debt load maybe they'd have broken even or a small profit, but not enough to justify the existence of the company.

You're falling into the trap of assuming that the market is perfect, and that there's someone wanting to take over the stores.

Face it, the only reason they were in trouble, and the only reason this bankruptcy is happening, is because of the parasitic capital firms involved.

You can do the math, it's not that hard.

Toys r US's numbers were significantly below where they'd need to be at to survive. It's unclear why you think we should infringe on banks ability to decide who to lend money to and what collateral to require.
