any acquirer of gox would be legally bound to take on ALL the debt. not just a portion of it. If the company is so much in the quagmire that those debts are unsaleable, either current gox, or future gox would be forced into administration, and could write-off/CVA a lot of the debt. this would be the worst case scenario.
That would be true of a purchaser acquiring the company as a whole, outright... but if Gox was selling off assets in pieces, the debt would remain with Gox.=squeak=
Yes. In most cases however, it has proved more beneficial to take on the debt and then CVA it to the lowest possible payment plan. It would truly be interesting if gox were able to sell of portions of the business and retain the debt. I would surmise that any deal would be negotiable only if the debt was saleable/sold on. i doubt, even gox would be so stupid to sell all but the debt. then again...
