This case was very well covered at the time. Top 3 things I've learned from this story:
1. If you sell do your company, never do it for all-stock (or at least almost never)
2. Have a plan B in case the company who aquired you goes bankrupt - the very next day.
3. No one will care about your company as much as you do. So don't outsource important parts of the process such as: reading all the paperwork and checking references of the acquirer.
