I think liquidation would be unlikely. Restructuring would be more likely. Like as happens with airlines from time to time.

Everyone is salivating at the prospect of One Rich A-hole Called Larry Ellison getting his come-uppance, but this is the correct take. Oracle without cloud is still a profitable (if much smaller) business that can continue on for quite a while. Larry (along with everyone else holding $ORCL) gets hosed, but corporations will still continue to get extortion requests couched as "opportunities to license Java 8"

I don't see a world where Larry gets financially hosed. The whole system is setup to protect him, there will be a parachute.

		He will believe he has been hosed because the parachute will be for less than he believes is his proper share.
