They didn't learn the biggest lesson, to get rid of our central (global) bank. They are the cause of our economic woes.

The Federal Reserve is nothing but a bunch of damn criminals.

 

[YanmarFever]

And there's nothing federal about the federal reserve.

Are Federal Reserve employees considered federal government employees and receive government benefits? No. Federal Reserve Bank employees are not government employees; however, Board of Governors employees are considered government employees.

Lawful money is currency issued by the United States Treasury, such as gold and silver coins, Treasury notes, and Treasury bonds. Fiat money, which consists of paper money and checks, is not lawful money but is considered legal tender.

The Federal Reserve Has Made Our Economy Less Stable

The U.S. economy was much more stable before the Federal Reserve came into existence. It bears significant responsibility for every financial crisis over the past century including the Great Depression, the stagflation of the 1970s and recent economic meltdown.

B-b-but- they passed laws back then and the FDIC was created. We will never go through times like that again, the government will take care of us. (As I blindly overlook 2008)

“1999

It became more controversial over the years and in 1999 the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act repealed the provisions of the Banking Act of 1933 that restricted affiliations between banks and securities firms.”

“What did the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act emancipated banks from?


It repealed part of the Glass–Steagall Act of 1933, removing barriers in the market among banking companies, securities companies, and insurance companies that prohibited any one institution from acting as any combination of an investment bank, a commercial bank, and an insurance company.”

Then along came 2008………/

Then came Dodd - Frank.

“The USD is the abbreviation for the U.S. dollar, the official currency of the United States of America and the world's primary reserve currency.”

“Britain stopped using the gold standard in 1931, and the U.S. followed suit in 1933, finally abandoning remnants of the system in 1973.12 The gold standard was completely replaced by fiat money, a term to describe currency that is used because of a government's order, or fiat, that the currency must be accepted....”

Lawful Money: Meaning, Overview, History

Lawful money is any form of currency issued by the United States Treasury and not the Federal Reserve System. It includes gold and silver coins.

Let me try to get this post back to its subject. This has morphed into a finance seminar over the past many pages.

On April 25, an extension was granted by the judge to give Ted more time to reply and provide discovery documents. Given until June 18. I sent my unfulfilled orders to the local investigator and received an acknowledgement email. Don’t see any updated news articles from Hickory Record. I get the feeling they are sympathetic to him. Just a feeling.

And on Friday I purchased a brand new box blade Land Pride BB1248 for $779. No tax As in Delaware. This is about $600 cheaper than the 54” I ordered from Everything Attachments and it is well built.

Congratulations on getting the LP boxblade, hopefully you didn't lose your money on the EA order.

 

[nouveauree]

Thank you. I had 2 orders, an aerator and box blade totaling close to $5K. Although one order was over 180 days, my CC honored the dispute so I was lucky and didn’t lose any money. I feel for those not so lucky.

Also, thank you for the update. I stop in occasionally hoping that somebody has given one.
Not that I have any skin in the game, just morbid curiosity.

I ordered the wicked 55 from EA jan 3 2024. I was told delivery would be "in April". During April I tried contacting them to get a status update. Got absolutely no response to phone (mailbox full), email, or web form, but my order still was showing as "processing". Then I did a web search a few days ago and saw the newspaper articles and forum posts about them going out of business and shutting down. So, I contacted my CC company and disputed the charge. CC company said I will get my money back in 90 days, assuming EA does not respond to their inquiry.

Edit: Here's my summary take, based on web research, newspaper articles, and public documents. EA (Ted) made a big gamble on his market share and strength and convinced the banks to write an ~$8M construction loan and ~$2M opex bridge loan. Allegedly the builder (Neill) f'd up the new building such that Catawba County wouldn't issue a CO, Ted withheld payment, and Neill sued. Ted (allegedly) blocked Neill from accessing the property to correct the problems, (allegedly) misused loan escrow funds to stay afloat, (allegedly) fell behind on loan payments, and ultimately the bank(s) called in the loans. Somewhere along the way a judge also issued a restraining order against Ted to force asset protection and prevent interference because (again, allegedly) Ted was/is transferring property to avoid seizure, and even put his massive 6280 sf luxury house up for sale.

Not judging, just saying. At this point most of this is allegations between EA, Neill, and the banks. But you can be sure of one thing: the lawyers will get paid handsomely regardless.

My personal opinion (based solely on his Youtube videos) is that he is a good guy that took a risky gamble. Markets and public opinion can be fickle...and merciless.

Me to, I have been victimized by a law firm myself, they always come out on top.

I had a lawyer help me out greatly -- on congingency. Sure, she got her 30% or whatever, but I got paid/my issue settled without going to court.

Totally worth it.

Glad you had a good experience, I'm sure there are honest law firms, I just didn't have one in my case.
