      I was going to say how could they possible go bankrupt? they slapped Eva stuff on just about everything, they should have been making bank and milking that cash cow for decades to come. Then after reading the article…yeah that’ll do it. One of the many issues was the fact they were slapping Eva stuff on everything but likely the money from that was going right into the pocket of Maki or others there.
