I know, but it still seems like a cheap attention-grabbing ploy to me. Probably just me being hypersensitive since I'm sooooooo tired of click-bait headlines.

Am I taking crazy pills or something?

It's not clickbait. They're accused of defrauding investors about Radio Shack, that's why Radio Shack is in the headline.

No, I guess I am. It's well past my bedtime, and I can't sleep so my brain's probably a bit off. Sorry.
