Don’t laugh -- tanking is in.
The Philadelphia 76ers are doing it in basketball and yes, their new owners are four rich equity owners who believe less is more.
Why is it that iHeart (and equity owners elsewhere) would rather tank the company than operate it.

What they are really going to do to deal with that $20.5 billion in debt that keeps rising and holding them back.
What they will NOT sell off in advance of any bankruptcy filing.
The reason they won’t even try to make rumors of bankruptcy go away by plainly denying that bankruptcy is in iHeart’s plans.

And why iHeart will seek a merger before a merger steals them away after the debt is gone.
