Perhaps the Bank would take a different view on why they went under.
But thats not really what Im getting at.
I was referring to the fact that a failed company, that went bankrupt is able to simply restart under another name, without paying its debts.
As if all those people who they owed money to no longer exist or matter.
Its not a short list of creditors either. Ranging from paintball teams (EG dynasty) materials suppliers, delivery companies and even a coffee shop!
Maybe Im misunderstanding the situation? But I think thats pretty wrong.
Jon, I think it fair to say, the SP's situation has had its fair share of BS talked about it.
For some reason, the US seems to breed hoards of people [generally kids] who believe their opinion matters and should therefore be heard ... actually, neither is the case.
These idiots tend to jump on bandwagons merely for the sake of it and because they have nothing better to do in their pathetic lives.
This is not to say that some of the attacks were undeserved; SP did get involved in things that were in my opinion pretty low but hey, I think fair to say, we've all indulged ourselves at some time in our lives if we are honest.
The SP guys genuinely believed they were under attack and also believed someone was trying to take away their property, this may well explain some of what they did.
Anyway, the SP company did not reinvent itself and wash itself of any of its debts ... the bank own SP in that sense ... Billy and Adam Gardner had SP taken away from them by the bank and it is the bank who are now responsible for those debts ... the only people responsible for this situation's evolution are the bank ... Billy and Adam didn't want to go down that road; if they had, they wouldn't have been keeping up with repayments now would they??
I think you are misunderstanding the situation Jon because in essence, you are accusing Billy and Adam of something the bank is responsible for ... Billy and Adam could hardly be expected to have their company taken away from them and then do nothing in terms of trying to have an income ... what would you want them to do ?..... they have to pay their personal bills and they have to work mate.
Gog is another company altogether here and I for one am pleased they have come back because I tell you this much; people like Billy and Adam, Richmond and Dave Youngblood ... all these guys care about sport ..... we need them, we really do.
It seems coincidental that the people responsible for SP's eventual demise are the very people I am implying do not care for paintball ..... funny that eh ???
A bank or financial institution does not have feelings for a sport, they have bottom lines, that's all they care about and it was SP's bottom line that determined the bank pulling out thier financial rug.
Our industry was built upon guy's who have a genuine and enduring love for our sport ..... Billy and Adam would never have knowingly or willfully fuhked people over by not paying them ... I know them Jon, I promise you, they ain't like that; in that sense, they are 100% honourable.
