for the people who got laid off, obviously it's very bad, they should sue and they may get something back as settlement.

For the existing employees who saw their stock options value deflated overnight, well tough luck. it's hard to become a millionaire

For the investors who just throw money to whoever in sight just to see what sticks, no tears at all

This is a disgusting attitude and is exactly why these types of problems exist.
