It’s not fraud if the sales are advertised and fair… even if they’re not widely publicized. But that was just spitballing.

For 2), people loan to the PE firm because they extract all the value for themselves. Their creditors get paid. People who loan to PE-controlled firms don’t seem terribly wise to me, but maybe they can model them like junk bonds.

For 3), if the firm buys one of your clients, be cautious.
