According to the Irish Independent, the company made a loss of over $1.4 million in 2014, which is what caused the claim for bankruptcy in 2015.
Also in 2014, the chain’s founder Dov Charney was fired following the result of one of the many sexual harassment cases that he was tied to.
The courts will reconvene in December to discuss the liquidation matter further.
