No, it's not $147m lost via Disney Infinity, it's $147m in costs to wind up an ongoing publishing operation including all their studios: redundancy for possibly over a thousand employees, buying themselves out of existing contracts for e.g. health insurance, pensions, building maintenance, utilities and IT (think penalty clauses) and then legal costs, sales or reorganisation of remaining IP, buildings and assets.
