• One Jester's Lane: Publicly-listed retailer Bed Bath & Beyond yesterday announced an agreement to acquire One Kings Lane, a San Francisco-backed flash sales site for home and lifestyle merchandise. No financial terms were disclosed, except that the deal was all-cash.

One Kings Lane had raised around $230 million in total VC funding, most recently in early 2014 at a post-money valuation of around $812 million. But unless BBB is tying this acquisition to a new debt offering, there is no way that the sale price even approaches that VC valuation.

Bed Bath and Beyond had just about $600 million in cash ($515m) and short-term equivalents as of its last quarterly report. Or,m put another way, the discount must be even deeper than those '20% off' coupons from BBB that seem to singularly finance the U.S. postal system.

This isn't to say, however, that the VCs themselves might not be made whole. Each of the venture rounds were preferred stock with pari passu liquidation preferences, which effectively means the breaking point is $230 million. Company employees, however, are probably another story...

• Well, that was unexpected: Dropbox CEO Drew Houston said yesterday at a Bloomberg conference that his company is cash-flow positive (albeit not yet profitable).

• Court calendar: The legal dispute between former Sequoia Capital partner Michael Goguen and his former girlfriend Amber Baptiste is now scheduled to head to a jury trial at the beginning of May 2017.

• More court: Andrew Casperson, the former PJT Partners and Blackstone Group placement agent accused in March of defrauding investors of $95 million, is claiming that his alleged malfeasance was the result of a gambling problem. Or, more specifically, a gambling problem that morphed into a trading addiction that led him to lose a whopping $123 million on S&P 'put' options.

Not only did he blow through money from his defrauded investors (which included a charitable foundation), but also his own personal fortune (he's a Wall Street scion) and money from the family of former girlfriend Cat McRae, who died in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.

Casperson is expected to plead guilty next month.

• LP note: Mark Boyle is retiring after 36 years helping to manage private equity investments for Northwestern Mutual. He'll leave a month-end, and says he is "looking forward to summer vacation here in beautiful Wisconsin." After that, it sounds like he's planning to remain involved in some capacity with private equity.

• Today in Theranos: Ok, this wasn't really from today, but since I neglected to mention it last week... Adam McKay, whose past films have included The Big Short and Anchorman, is prepping a movie about the troubled blood-testing startup. Elizabeth Holmes reportedly will be played by Jennifer Lawrence. No, I'm really not making any of this up.
