I feel for those people who are out of work. It's not their fault that LS is in a nose dive.

Not that sorry to hear it. Those soon-to-be-unfortunate LightSquared employees have been pulling down salaries that many of us folks could only dream of, and working diligently to put plenty of us out of business.

If only they could fire Phil Falcone, enit?

I missed that the day prior to the layoffs they had defaulted on their debt payment. That's a big story, too. They are broke and I guess Falcone is done throwing his hedge fund investor's money at them.
