they were basically insane scammers from the very beginning. they never paid rent so they moved from office to office and state to state, they continually took out new loans to pay off old loans, and after they'd paid themselves in stock for a couple of years and had run the value down to less than a cent a share, they distributed fake 'hot tips' via fax so they could dump all of their own shares for the inflated price.

i remember someone starting a thread in games back in the day trying to get goons to buy a majority share in the company when it was trading so low, but that was probably just somebody else trying to dump shares.
