the cash will be used to pay the creditors after the bankruptcy, as well as the patents and assets that were put up as collateral, leaving shareholders with nothing.

I'm guessing they can only get co-ops to fill the marketing positions because who the hell stick around? They've been advertising Support positions in Waterloo but only for CS students.

just so everyone is clear, the word "Yessss!" has a speech bubble, as in, the word itself is saying something. so even ignoring how amateurish the whole thing is, it's also completely nonsensical conceptually too
