Not everyone wants a sustainable business. Some people just want to get acquired. This was even mentioned in a business class I had in the 90's.

Did you make money? Yes. Did your investors get their return? Yes. Sounds like a successful exit to me. Every week I'm seeing an article about Google/Apple/Microsoft buying a small company that had no hope of being profitable on their own. Everyone defines success on their own terms.
