As someone who had a side business, I feel I need to say this, not apologizing for EA, but you need some money coming in so that you can stay open, pay salaries, buy materials and make good on old orders.
Might not be fair to old customers, but if they go under because they are meeting payroll with no new money coming in they will very soon use up all cash on hand while trying to fill some of those old orders how long do you think they can stay open?
It's a balancing act between restoring customer relations and bringing in some new cash.

That is all well and good, but how much would it have cost EA to stay in touch with those prior customers who were left in limbo waiting for the item(s) they ordered and by all appearances were never going to receive? How much would an apology have cost them for all the stress they put people through who were thinking they had just lost their money to a company that evaporated? Trust is a very fragile thing for a company to mishandle. I will not reward seriously bone headed public relations fumbles with my future business. IMHO.

I agree with you, they Should have, but they didn't.
What you are talking about is customer relations. I suspect that who ever took over is learning as they go, a Very tough row to hoe.
I'm older than them (I think), I may have more management experience, who knows. Glad it's not me.

Did anyone go to jail? Or is fraud now a misdemeanor?

I have not been following but curious. And I am not interested enough to read pages of posts.

Ted (the original owner) and Nate are STILL there, no one "took over"

No jail, and no fraud charges have ever been reported.

This entire debacle is strange to me as a business owner.

As a business owner, my employees and customers get taken care of before ME!!! However, I make sure not to get over extended....EVER!!!!

Standing 40 thousand feet back looking at this absolute mess, there is only one thing that caused this.

My business has been going since 1961 when my father left my grand father's business to start his own. We are the 3rd generation and have expanded and grown from $800k to 10M.

I can see exactly what happened in this fiasco.

Good Luck!

Well don't keep us guessing. What do you think "exactly happened"? Just looks like overextension with a side of shady ethics to me...
