I was involved in the internal reporting. The clincher was when I saw the P&L for the internal sales of "luxury" items. Literally selling to a captive customer base.

It's weird that such a data point was the final straw, but eventually these small details build up and the whole edifice comes crashing down.

It's especially tragic as the company seemed to be full of talented, intelligent and nice people. Such seems to be the typical makeup of faceless evil.
