What is success?
The product they named their company after is never going to be manufactured again. People who paid them for that product but haven't received it yet never will. Their company is dead.
Or do you mean the fact that their founders and owners probably got some cash back for selling the whole thing? Well, how much do you get back for an acquihire? Fitbit didn't buy them for their tech, or they'd still be selling it.
