Nobody should be surprised by this. This is what private equity does. Eventually they will sell it and it can be rebuilt, and the cycle will repeat itself. Lawyers, banker, PE firms make dough along the way...but so do employees etc.  It is just a cycle.  I also won "potato wedges" today in my roll up the rim...and that just doesn't seem right. I am also going to start a conspiracy theory because I've hardly won anything this year in the roll up the rim...so the Brazilian PE guys cut back on the rewards this year as part of their evil plan.  Spread the word.
