So some possible scenarios if Atlus gets sold off.

Atlus goes to Namco, Sony or Nintendo?

I'm leaning more towards Namco, but Sony could really use an in-house JRPG dev.

Out of those three?

Nintendo, I bet.

That is the least most likely one of the three, imo.

Whatever do you mean? ^^
(Yes: I also don't see it happening, but if it were, Ninty would be the one)

I just don't think they would. They're not big on acquiring developers or teams and they already mismanage Monolith Soft enough to make me sick.

Namco has JRPG studios, but Tales and Atlus products are nothing alike. I also think that Atlus is big enough to do a merger rather than an acquisition.

Index Holdings has high ranking officials that are stealing money through illegal activities such as dummy corporations and false profits? So like most companies, then?

Aren't they just caught with a scandal where people are pocketing money? Why are they in financial ruin?

Because apparently if there's no proof to how much someone in a company stole.  While they can prove the person or people did embezzle the money from the company, they can't prove who took exactly how much so the company is screwed.  These people might get a five years sentence.  If they manage not to get butt raped in prison, then it was worth it.  If they can prove this amount of money was stolen by one specific person and  it's in an available location, then they can sue and get the amount of money that they can prove was stolen only.

All these stupid criminals getting arrested for armed robbery.  Just work your way up in the ranks and then embezzle money while hiding the fact that any is missing for years.  By the time they find out, take your short prison sentence.  You'll make more money and be off with less of a sentence than robbery.

Fair enough, but unless it's a bankrupting sum that was stolen, why are they in trouble?  People will get sent to jail, others will take their place.

...and that mismanagement would be that they release games on a Nintendo platform?

No. They're mismanaged in the same way that Team Ico is mismanaged by Sony. They make great games and they hardly put anything out. They've only made two Wii games (which one NA didn't even get and the other took prodding and prying) and helped on SRT games with Namco + Soma Bringer. They could be far bigger than are, but they're forced to have fewer projects than they should and the games they make are very rarely if ever promoted by Nintendo.
