Immediately after purchasing the site state "during this time of transition for Twitter, we're going to take the service offline for a period of time while the team evaluates the best way forward." then never turn it on again and eventually say "after extensive deliberation, we cannot determine a viable method towards profitability and will not be resuming services."

No one looks bad and the service is totally destroyed from day one.

That's not what was done, actions were taken with some other non-obvious goal. Although, it may be charitable to suggest that he's got a goal.
