ya gotta wonder how much of that $8 million was foosball, in house jacuzzis, on-call spa therapies, luxury catering, and beer on tap 24/7 … that latter mostly responsible for the buggy coding.
Rich guy buys ten acres of prime California property to build his ultra-mega mansion. Goes broke halfway in. Sells at a lose to another rich egomaniac; second idiot also goes broke before the palace can be finished.
Smart investor scoops up the property. His plan is to subdivide it and sell smaller lots. The problem is he’s got a giant, half built mansion that needs to be demolished.
No worries. It’s California. He gets a movie agent to sell the rights to destroy the building to Hollywood. You can see the mansion being gleefully wrecked in ‘Bad Boys II.’
Seen it many times: “developers” blow thru million$ while playing with their Star Wars action figurines and company realizes they’ve got a deadline looming with software that does nothing.

Apparently, at least a few of the software developer companies have an appreciation for the “Sunk Cost Fallacy”.

Good programming shows structure. This code looks like someone dumped a truck of sand on a pile of loose bricks.

$8 million in trash code is still just trash. The trick is to sell out before your whole brand is trash.

It’ll cost at least $25K to get the code running.

If the company has filed for bankruptcy protection, I believe any deals would be subject to review by the court or creditors.

He has something which won’t work and is unprofitable. She believes she can make it work and be profitable. She’s taking a risk in hopes of reward.
Capitalism.
