    what i remember about MZ is people always asking Mike what his favorite card, and he always said "it hasnt been pulled yet", wich was probably a good marketing thing but would be funny to ask him on his way into the courtroom one last time.

Rudy was just a shill, same as Wubby and many others who got preferential treatment and pricing to hype the game. Nothing about their involvement caused this, and the ones to blame are the owners and management, thats who we need to be roasting and investigating.

    Bankrupt over a million or two? They couldn't raise that to get out of the hole? Something isn't adding up, Mr. Benihana is worth like 100 million himself. That seems like a trivial amount to tank such a lucrative business over.

    • @portalmasterry6765

      The money was squandered and used to create hype to get the next round of $. It was like a TCG pyramid/ponzi scheme. They should sticked with the TCG and focused on that but the decided to go all out not knowing the risk and the fact that they were running on hype.

      Def more debt, but its also more than that, from the communication (and lack of) between Mike and Andy etc. in the previous videos and in other info I have seen, it seems like these idiots let the company fall apart around them after bleeding it dry to fill their own bank accounts. I hope we learn all the details, but there is a lot more going on here than a few million in debt.

  • @michaelc6817
    @michaelc6817 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Creditors list looks to be alphabetical order. Am I missing something? Bankruptcy is filed to avoid paying creditors and NOT to enable the paying of creditors. For example, "After any administrative expenses are paid, no funds will be available to unsecured creditors." So, unsecured creditors are screwed. Lawyers will likely get the bulk of the money, lol.

    • @nicksstrengthandpokemon6353
      @nicksstrengthandpokemon6353  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Can you define unsecured for me?

    • @michaelc6817
      @michaelc6817 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@nicksstrengthandpokemon6353 Probably easier to define secured. Think of a car loan or a house mortgage. Those are secured loans where the car or house are collateral. If you don't pay, the agency with the secured loan gets the car or house. Common shares in stocks are unsecured, meaning when a big corporation like GM goes bankrupt, common shareholders tend to lose everything. In the case of Metazoo, all those who prepaid for product that they have not received are likely never going to see the product or a dime from the bankruptcy. A buyer could emerge, but they would be silly to buy before all the debt was disposed of in the bankruptcy. Note that bankruptcy doesn't negate the possibility of a criminal investigation. This is how I understand things. I am not a Lawyer, so I could be entirely wrong, lol. None of this is legal advice.
