Actually banks take collateral that is normally not what the private equity firms target and that actually seems to work, but the consequence is that hard assets of the firm (offices, buildings, hardware, cash, etc) are essentially given up

you sell it to someone for a nice price thinking the other one wants to ride the horse just like you did. but they are actually a butcher and make horse sausage out of it.
