How Debt Traps Kill Acquisitions

Lucas and Luna dissect the silent killer of modern M&A: aggressive debt structures in leveraged buyouts.

The episode breaks down the mechanics of covenant breaches, refinancing risk, and why operators are shifting toward conservative capital stacks to survive economic uncertainty.
