Deep pockets. Open wallet. Pay people who were ripped off by ‘your brand’. Do they have to? No. Wouldn’t they have bought Norton if they did? Probably not. But they are happy to make money from the brand #dotherightthing
Presumably the £16m TVS paid for Norton went to the liquidators, who in turn would have paid the creditors, starting with HMRC, who are always first in the queue. Garners Norton could have just gone bust with no buyer.
