Is Empire going to get bought out?

Anybody see this as a possibility? It seems like a lot of the smaller rooms now have an incentive to band together to compete against Party. There's good reason to think there'll be a lot of consolidation in the industry before too long.

Sportingbet/Paradise or Crypto might be interested, especially if Empire's stock gets beat up some more. Alternately, would Party buy them and just transfer all the players directly to the Party network, cutting out rakeback?
