Indeed, the company is a husk of its former self and has already sold off most of its assets.
But, if so, the @adafruit twitter account is definitely further confusing things.
At this point, I think we're all looking to the initial actors for some clarification.
Later, when I saw that Adafruit's revenue is about $22M a year, and the acquisition price was a $29M debt accrued prior, I started to doubt myself yet again!
It's fascinating to see the intense online waves this has made. People are truly fond of RadioShack's brand, and AdaFruit as an underdog.
Whatever the outcome, perhaps it's a good reality check for all of us in the age of "fake news".
