When the Diamond Chapter 11 Bankruptcy vendue atRaymond Jamesoffices was settle , the succeeder was announced as Alliance Entertainment / AENT.Bruce Ogilvie , AENT chairwoman , was theninvited onto a podcast with comic book retailersDennis BargerandJesse Jamesafter , apparently , watching myperformance on the Beyond Wednesdays podcastthe old workweek , tattle about the Diamond situation . He also talked about the party , how he occur independently to the Diamond auction sale , why he bid what he did , how the auction went , and his plan for Diamond as the success .
But then suddenly Diamond hold that the back - up bidder Universal Alliance and Pop Sparkle were the winners instead , and it descended into royal court reversals , lawsuits and accusations , which are still playing out now . AENT , after being confirmed as the winner by the courts , withdrew from buy Diamond a short time later , claiming humbug , and now is plunge a lawsuit for costs .
