No More Bites Of Gum-Gum?: 4Kids Entertainment Files For Bankruptcy

It looks as if certain haters and/or purists finally got their wish.
Yahoo! Finance wrote:
4Kids Entertainment, Inc., the global children’s entertainment and merchandise licensing company, announced today that it has filed a petition in bankruptcy for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The bankruptcy filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York also covers all of the domestic wholly-owned 4Kids subsidiaries. 4Kids Entertainment International, Ltd., the Company’s subsidiary based in London England, is not part of the bankruptcy filing.

In conjunction with the Chapter 11 filing, 4Kids also filed a variety of first day motions that will allow the Company to continue to manage operations in the ordinary course.

Some claim to have seen this coming after those responsible for the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime airing in Japan slapped 4Kids with a lawsuit and revoked their permission for 4Kids to air the show. It's reported that 4Kids had been cheating the companies out of their proper fees and making secret deals with Funimation over the license behind their back. I guess non-cable Saturday morning cartoons got another nail in their coffin.
