38. Correct - Bust Out Episode of the Soprano's

May 20

People are seriously misreading it as desperation.

They see no resistance and are trying to tear it all down / as others noted trying to grift as much as they can while there is still some to get.

Its the Soprano's Bust Out episode where Tony and company have took over Robert Patrick's sporting goods store after he could not pay off his gambling debts and in his office trashing his store and taking whatever they want, ordering food, coolers, plane tickets, etc, making him max out his credit until he has to go bankrupt.
