Mr Feuerstein's plan was not successful as he ultimately drove the company into bankruptcy (not once but actually twice). I believe another outfit picked up the pieces the second time and it is operating as a smaller organization with different management, new capital, etc. Unfortunately, companies that don't cut expenses when faced with adversity often find themselves bankrupt.
