When Holdren's electronic stores went out of business two years ago,

Contracts that were not honored by the company that bought Holdren's assets.

Jean, the Attorney General said his office is "very agressive when it comes
to consumer protection."
That's why he was proud to announce a one-point-seven million-dollar judgment
against Holdren's...the estimated value of what the electronic-store chain owes
its former customers.
The problem is: Holdren's is bankrupt.
So the judgment may be for millions ... but Holdren's could only afford to
make 100-thousand dollars available to consumers.
