RED LOBSTER: the hedge funds made the leases on that land so expensive that Red Lobster couldn't possibly continue to operate.

A hedge fund bought Red Lobster. As a condition of the sale, they made them split up their land and their restaurants.
Prior to the sale, Red Lobster owned all of the land that their restaurants were located on.  

Once they made them split that up, the hedge funds made the leases on that land so expensive that Red Lobster couldn't possibly continue to operate.  

“The only reason Red Lobster's going into bankruptcy is because a hedge fund wanted them to go into bankruptcy.” “The media will never stop covering for hedge funds while making it seem like every problem is the fault of the American people. Like, I'd be willing to bet you think Red Lobster went into bankruptcy because of endless shrimp. You know, the endless shrimp promotion they had. Because that's what the media's told you. They've been telling you repeatedly that the reason Red Lobster went into bankruptcy was that they had the endless shrimp combo and the greedy American people just took advantage of it. That's not what happened. No, what happened was a hedge fund bought Red Lobster and as a condition of the sale, they made them split up their land and their restaurants. Because up until that point, Red Lobster actually owned all of the land that their restaurants were located on. And then once they made them split that up, the hedge funds made the leases on that land so expensive that Red Lobster couldn't possibly continue to operate.
