I know they sold their BetaLED division to CREE, but what happened to the rest of the company? Did they get bought out by someone or just go bust?

From what I understand, the whole company folded into Cree Lighting, and then Ideal Industries acquired Cree Lighting in 2019.

Yep, they merged. Made sense and worked out well. Cree had the chips, Ruud had the fixtures. Combine them together and you get Cree Lighting.
