It is my understanding that the Brook Mays bankruptcy was a simple matter
of overextension. They tried to go in and take over from established
businesses by undercutting them, etc. and found that it did not
work! Meridian Winds in Michigan, however, DID get sued and lost their
battle with First Act.
