Rumors: Jonathan Adler Sold to Investors...?

While no details have yet arisen, rumor has it that Jonathan Adler has sold his company to a group of investors. After a huge build-up in the last few years, this might provide Jonathan with a nice home and deeper pockets so that he can get back to designing again without having to worry a _________ (insert R word here), but does it mean JA will lose his quirky humor or that a Starbucks effect is about to set in?
Anybody know more???

Funny that you mention Starbucks - I see Jonathan Adler all the time at the one near my office. Maybe I should ask him what's up.

The American Dream. Start a business. Build a business. Sell the business. As Mr. Adler would say- no more need to make the doughnuts.

Sorry to be completely dense, but what "R" word am I supposed to insert?

If someone wants him, they can have him. He's the most derivative, tiresomely imitative designer since Philip Johnson.

Seriously, could somebody please email me and tell me what "R" word to insert? This post makes no sense whatsoever. Is the word Reproduction? Relocation? What am I not getting? My email is misohungry@gmail.com. I'm losing sleep over this.
