Actually, a friend of mine did this. Built up a company, got bought out for 7 figures plus change, went to work fo the new company where his old company was the only profitable part, then after his 2 year contract was up founded a new company to compete with the old one. By a back of an envelope calculation he takes a week off to go on holiday every 3.2 weeks. Must be working.
Some fellow kept building refineries. John David Rockefeller kept buying them. Folks thought he was avoiding competition. The other fellow just enjoyed taking the money from the sale of the last to build the newer and better one.

…. too bad they’ll fail to consider the 2 year ‘no-compete’ clause and end up getting sued and lose THAT to Mike as well… oops!

$5,000 ($9,000 2024) for nothing is a good deal; they have nothing, even the idea of of buying inventory from distressed businesses is not original.

This kind of s**t did really take place back then. Now, it’s hilarious.
