informed employees of the filing late Friday [...] that it had filed for a debtor-in-possession loan — a way for companies that are reorganizing after filing for bankruptcy to secure additional working capital to meet payroll. [...] employees have been waiting for paychecks since June 21st [...] it’s not certain that the company will be able to secure such a loan.

Chicken Soup took on $325 million in debt when it acquired Redbox in 2022 and has since been sued over a dozen times over unpaid bills.

Noticed the redboxes at my grocer have, "Closed as of May 20" signs on them, which tends not to bode well.

Yeah, May 20th was 40 days ago...

That's correct. You're very smart! Way to go!
