Nah, if anything, I don't think Idol was ever in the green or, at the very least, had a thin profit margin that disappeared from recent events. I think their problem was that their business model was unsustainable, given the talent contracts. It's the biggest reason why they're giving the talents the out right now, as if they join Brave, they would have to accept a pay cut in the renegotiations. However, I do think he made money from this, as im sure Brave paid him out and gave him the golden parachute.
