Their business plan got Microsoft to drop 10 billion dollars on them.

None of my shitty plans have pulled that off.

If they got any of that into their own pockets kudos to them.

Mainly they used it to pay for the tech and research and it's all reverting back to Microsoft eventually. Going bankrupt is not quite the same as being acquired.
