It's not just the domain, trademarks, code, database, etc, but also the customers and their contracts (accept the ones they didn't want). I think in a court it could easily be argued that it was a purchase of the company by a different name. And their argument is that they were not made aware of these contracts, which to me sounds like the new owners should be suing the old owners for lack of responsible disclosure. Unless of course they signed away this right as part of the contract, or they were aware and don't have a leg to stand on. In any case, this is super fishy.
