True story? I'm kind of proud that I was somewhat right for three out of three guesses. So snoodog says they should declare bankruptcy to get out of this whole ordeal, but I kind of think that it's too late for that, that they're in too deep. I wonder if maybe had Takata forseen this happening, they could have split up their assets, sell them to a bunch of fake companies, and then have them all merge to make a "new" company that's basically Takata under a new name. It sounds far fetched, but I've seen things like that happen on a smaller scale. Hostess Brands for example declared bankruptcy to get out of their obligations for union contracts and pensions. It also allowed them to cut ties to a bunch of assets that were becoming nothing more than dead weight.
