You can spin it that way if you want. It was a good chunk of money out the door for them, in any case.

  it's not "spin" :) they're haven't gone out of business, and show no signs of doing so for the foreseeable future :)

    You keep dialing back the definition of "fail" to mean "to go out of business." In common usage its meaning is far broader -- it can also mean e.g. "to screw up spectacularly" (in a way that cost the company very significantly, even if it isn't forced out of business as a result).

      OP asked about a "company failing" You're the one twisting that into a "a failure which may or may not have been recovered from" :)

        You can read it however you want. But in that context, the meaning was clearly open-ended.

          I read it the way it's written: "have any notable companies failed" Not "have any notable companies had a failure" Big difference there, friend :)
