Cerberus gave ROC a means to operate for awhile longer, but that was never a long-term goal for Cerberus.
It's pretty clear what Cerberus' goal was -- to build the General Motors of firearms. They would have operated it as long as it met their required ROI. In hindsight their plan was flawed, their management was even worse and their investors didn't like the idea of having a gun-maker in their investment portfolio.
