Sadly, this....

Exactly how many buyers the company will find remains to be seen – the fallout from the initial hack still hasn't finished landing yet.

Literally anyone that understands corporate structuring 101 could advise on methods for doing this, so I expect the only lesson learned by their customers will be in how to protect themselves from adverse PR.
