Okay, so this article is on point with the exception of failing to mention that Mitt Romney and Bain Capital are actually major players in Toys R Us' ruin. Those who keep up with the private equity network should know about Bain Capital all too well and this case is no different. Instead of trying to help keep such an iconic chain open, they choose make money on the idea of it ultimately closing. When these stores close, there's no tax revenue, jobs are lost, property value lies dormant, and basically everybody loses...except those betting for it to lose.
