That attitude covers what should happen to the top executives, but

the work conditions and the safety measures taken.

As long as the employees followed the safety and sanitation
processes and procedures they were given to work under, they really
don't deserve to have their life shot out from under them - I'll bet
they'll be getting the "ENRON Treatment" where the hourly workers'
retirement and pension funds are either totally going bye-bye or will
end up getting hacked way back.

As far as golden parachutes and such, Topps is owned by this holding
