I read somewhere Groupon wanted to sell to Google but they also wanted Google to put up 300 million if the sale wasn't completed. They were worried about anti-trust. I believe Google is still dealing with it's purchase of doubleclick. In the end Groupon pulled out because they didn't like the chances of their sale going through and Google wasn't backing it up with enough money.
