If this story is right and PE firms just plunder why would banks keep giving them loans?<p>The author mentions red lobster but that wasn't PE that ran them into the ground it was a fishing company that bought them from PE.<p>They also seem to think PE only goes after public companies when that seems to be by far the exception.<p>This is just a poorly researched rage bait rant.<p>If you want something to complain about in PE look at tax treatments.
