I used to work at Sears and the way Eddie Lampert ran that company into the ground should be criminal, his real estate company stands to inherit much of the real estate that Sears owns once it goes under so if Sears dies he stands to make a mint through his other company. It's pretty obvious that he did it on purpose, the stores are ran like shit with no leadership, old products, shitty prices, etc. It's not like Sears died because of Amazon and Wal Mart, although that's a huge reason, Eddie Lampert just let go of the controls and crashed the plane with no survivors.

Just Google "Eddie Lampert Real Estate" and you'll see tons of articles that talk about it.

But in a nutshell, he (purposely in my opinion) ran Sears into the ground because he is selling off it's assets to himself.

You'd have to work at Sears to really understand how piss poor the entire company was managed, it was almost as if they were purposely squandering money on useless upgrades while neglecting the shit that would actually make a difference in profit.
