Anchorage is well known as a shark - they have pulled the sane act before - buy a failing company, dress it up to look good for those who do not understand the fundamentals and resell it to mug punters, and run off with the loot.
While DSE is not the first victim of Anchorage, FWIW Gerry Harvey made several valid comments ages ago as to why DSE would fail after Woolworths bought them. The retail model that DSE were using was a loser compared to JB HiFi or HN.
Both investors and consumers have been played for the mugs they actually are.
