Who the fk wants to buy a bank

2023-04-28

Who the fk wants to buy a bankrupt company.. even if it survives bankruptcy, which retail will dare to put their money inside.. who knows when it will start to go bankrupt again. This goes to show that the management is in bad shape. No matter how much money is poured into it, it will eventually go bankrupt. Just end it once and for all. Stop robbing money from retails.
