Even for a successful dice-roller like Andrew Leto, founder of freight brokers GlobalTranz and Emerge, it took guts to contribute $10 million of his personal capital to a $50 million private placement for downtrodden transport firm Roadrunner (NASDAQ:RRTS).
Once a darling of growth-minded investors, Roadrunner spent the latter half of the past decade disgorging most of the 34 companies it had acquired during the prior 10 years. The chickens of Roadrunner’s failed growth strategy came home to roost in early 2017 when it was forced to restate three years of financial results. It was subsequently delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.
