Okay, this is just weird.

Buena Vista owns 60% of Toysmart.com.

Therefore, Buena Vista owns Toysmart.com.

Disney owns Buena Vista.

Toysmart.com owes Disney money (for what? I don't want to know.)

In order to allay some of its credit problems, Toysmart.com is offering to sell 250,000 customer records for $50k. I.e., your privacy is worth 20 cents ransom.

But the ransom Disney is paying is to Disney. At least in the most part.

Somewhere out there is a chartered accountant who understands how this makes sense.
