Sounds like the new owner didn’t do due diligence when inspecting what they were purchasing. Which means the new guy is an idiot and you probably shouldn’t trust your data with them.
You can do due diligence as a buyer forever but if the seller lies or doesn't disclose... Problems like these happen. Lawsuits are potentially incoming to figure that one out.
This is why any good merge and acquisition contract have stipulations that update the price of the transaction 6 months or a year after purchase.
Then you sue them to cover the differential
