Comdex Operators File for Bankruptcy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the all-about-the-pentiums-baby dept.

VileScum writes "According to this article in The Australian, Los Angeles-based Key3Media Group, the company operating the giant Comdex trade show, filed for protection from its creditors yesterday in the United States Bankruptcy Court. Does this mean I have to start buying cloths again instead of getting them at trade shows?" Also see a story in The New York Times. Concerns of bankruptcy were voiced last November.

    to protect them against an incipient class action lawsuit by inexperienced geeks who were tramautized by picking up "girls" in Las Vegas with large Adam's Apples during the last Comdex.

  3. Get your clothes at Adultdex instead by YeOldeGnurd · · Score: 4, Funny
    The sex industry is recession-proof. I'm sure Adultdex isn't going under.

    Oh, but I guess they don't do clothing there, do they. Darn.
