Bernie Madoff sold some fine stocks also.

Bernard Lawrence "Bernie" Madoff was an American financier who executed the largest Ponzi scheme in history, defrauding thousands of investors out of tens of billions of dollars over the course of at least 17 years, possibly longer.
No. They were cult like followers because anybody who bought another brand was met with derision for having the nerve to buy something different...So because EA made some of the best attachments and there was no indication that Ted was a crook that owners of EA attachments were cult like followers
I won't dispute that is your opinion. Yet there were a lot of other manufacturers who do the same, without the hype and/or pyramid scheme business plan.Can you dispute the statement I made that EA made some of the best tractor attachments?
Maybe not an implements company, but if you read any of the EV threads here the tesla fanboys certainly qualify!Yea, I've never seen a place with such a cult following as that place had.

So, the credit card companies “eating” others mistakes/issues is a real long term solution?What a dumb comparison. I have my EA attachments I ordered. And I believe many on this forum posted that they received their money back from their credit card company.
People lost billions "investing" with Madoff.
Any company that works on the premise of you pay us for it and then we will order the materials to build it and build it is obviously robbing Peter to pay Paul. When I was an HVAC contractor I was victim of that on several occasions. Anyone buying something from EA should have recognized that. It's sad that the CC companies and the banks have to pull up the slack for EA, Ted and the customers that bought Ted's equipment. Ultimately the rest of us take the hit for that in some form or fashion.I was patient to wait and there was no sign that EA was going to be run into the ground by Ted. I had no problem waiting 4 months to get the attachment I wanted.
Another reason to use a credit card for purchases.
Bottom line is just because Ted is a crook doesn't negate the fact that EA made great attachments.
