The boss of ARM China was fired by the company board, decided he has a different opinion on the matter, changed the locks to the office and just stopped communicating with the rest of the company. The courts sided with him, then when SoftBank wanted to acquire them, the company staff just left, took all the IP and started a new company.

To be fair it wasn’t actually retarded because no one could foresee China stealing arm’s IP.
