Only 8 months short of government regs going into effect full force is when they closed. You don't know if that was when certain leases they had which may have needed to be renewed for more than a year,
You don't know what was happening behind the scenes with long term lease agreements for their factory space, that made closing their doors now more beneficial to them than staying open until the last minute.
They were planning on getting FDA approval, and then at some point into that process they backed up and just shut down, so there could be a LOT more to this than you know.
In such a case, and without knowing the exact situation, your just speculating what you think, and that's not always the best course of action, without all the facts.
