Mills Corporation accounting investigation and bankruptcy
The Mills Corporation faced bankruptcy after the Securities and Exchange Commission identified approximately $350 million in accounting errors over several years. The issue concerned the mall's corporate owner rather than a consumer-product scandal at Gurnee Mills, but it led to the eventual sale of the Mills portfolio, including Gurnee Mills, to Simon Property Group and Farallon Capital Management.
