It's better to link to more truthful accounts:

"Bed, Bath & Beyond’s Ex-CEO [Mark Tritton] Got Rich Bankrupting the Retailer, Now Workers Stand to Lose - Thousands of workers will lose their jobs after the former CEO "ripped up" the company's playbook to disastrous results." (1/2023) https://perfectunion.us/bed-bath-beyonds-ex-ceo-got-rich-ban...

"Bed Bath & Beyond Just Realized The Hedge Fund That (Briefly) Saved It Actually Killed It - So that $300 million Hudson Bay made from extending BB&B’s life by 10 weeks belongs to it, or something." (5/2024) https://dealbreaker.com/2024/05/bed-bath-beyond-just-realize...

> "Bed Bath & Beyond doesn’t have any stores anymore... But Zombie BB&B does still have some very real creditors following its bankruptcy last year."
