Sigma hasn't been able to build a general purpose camera to save their life. RIcoh has a history of just shuttering divisions that don't make money. They folded their own SLR production before. Let's hope they don't do that again. What would Sigma do if they bought the Ricoh imaging division, put their proprietary lens mount and the Fovion chip into a K-3 body? Great ergonomics terrible performance in every other way and a lens mount that never took off. Hooray!
The ideal situation would be that they drop their lens mount and sensor and just produce all of their lenses in K mount, with Pentax coatings and weather sealing. By the same token, I could also make a joke that was actually funny. Don't hold your breath for either one.
