Laserium-GBC Networks International
CLC International LP
2016-2017
In October 2016, few months after the formation of Crystal, the holding company entered bankruptcy. Crystal sold most of it's companies in bankruptcy procedures to Crystal Legacy Corporation (officially called CLC International LP), a consortium consisting of SLN! Media Group, Lava Lamp Entertainment, Ktuhbodonut2011 Holdings, Bonage Animation Studios, A Holdings, FTN Inc, Nextreme Entertainment, GBC Holdings and Laserium Holdings, between October and November 2016.
Ktuhbodonut2011 Holdings soon merged to Village Lava International Group and A Holdings sold most of its assets to Bachmann Holdings, thus Village Lava and Bachmann Holdings joined CLC International LP, while A Holdings became just an affiliate for the group. However, Bachmann, GBC and Laserium soon transferred their membership to Laserium-GBC Networks.
In March 23, 2017, QWE Holdings announced that TGP Media-Networks will merge with FTN Inc. into GGZ Media-Networks Inc., this would cause a effect on CLC International LP, which FTN Inc. had left CLC in May 1, 2017 with the stake given to Village Lava International Group.
In May 2017, Village Lava acquired Nextreme Entertainment's membership. Laserium-GBC Networks acquired most of the Jetix channel from SLN! Media Group who still owns 20% of the channel's parent company Nostalgic TV Partners. It was said that if SLN! Media Group was to ever give away the 20% of the channel to Laserum-GBC Networks, they would also leave from the CLC International partnership.
