Here’s a good one for you – It’s Carl Icahn’s fault that Blockbuster Inc. is in the sad state it is in today. At least that’s the view of disgruntled junior bondholder Lyme Regis Partners, who claim in a lawsuit that Icahn set the video retail chain to fail so that he could take over the company (as reported on Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review).
The lawsuit goes on to allege that because of his insider status, Icahn had a much better view of how bad things were for Blockbuster and there that allowed allowed him to position himself ahead of the other investors because he knew before everyone else that the company was much closer to bankruptcy.
