What will you do if the source of your business troubles is internal?

At a time when facts are more important than ever, the parties claiming ownership interests in Snopes, the go-to source for exposing hoaxes, are in a dispute over control of the company. Successes with a Go Fund Me campaign, as well as in court, have bought the remaining founder some time; but the litigation is in an early stage, leaving many issues to be resolved. Snopes is not alone in its struggles. Litigation with the founder of Rent-A-Wreck has resulted in a Chapter 11 filing for the company, and several outside financiers of Hollywood studios are unhappy with the recent results of their investments.
