"These team members wanted whatever Zynga was willing to sell, even if that didn’t include the more valuable Draw Something assets or user data. Even more employees offered to work on OMGPOP.com for free. However, Zynga said this would all take too much legal work and wouldn’t agree to sell anything."
This is a huge red flag. To me that says there's something that would emerge during the due diligence process that Zynga does not want people to know about. If I was a gambler I'd short them hard in response to this, my hunch is that the firm is on its way to de-listing and collapse.
Do you think that it would be related to the reasons for shutting down OMGPOP operations? That is, they found some nasty skeletons in the closet, and the best way to hide them is to wind down everything OMGPOP-related so that they don't have to file reports about it and it doesn't ever get audited?
I couldn't say, and my comment above is honestly baseless speculation, just a very strong hunch. I haven't read any of their public filings on that acquisition so weight that appropriately.
