lol are you absolutely sure about it? it was a pretty common occurence in 90s in eastern europe.

step 1. foreign (generally western) company or investment fund or something buys a factory for peanuts. corruption might be involved.

step 2. that entity rolls up entire shop, sells equipment for whoever would buy it, and people get suddenly unemployed. this even happened to steelworks and shipyards
