Im pretty sure before this rumor was being circulated that no one there for the most part had even known they had been sold.

Business as usual - is my speculation.

One thing is for sure. If the rumor is true...and I believe it is more than a rumor ... then Penthouse cashed out every asset and angle they had availible to seal the deal. Only a publically traded company could have scored a deal this size. The economics of it do not make sense otherwise.

Ponder this... all of these "small" buys of companies consolidating... Im certain they put in play deals of this size that you dont hear about.

Of course you wont read about this elsewhere until later.
