Well, pretty sad situation overall.
I wish I could say I was surprised, but I'm really not, at all. That 6 million dollar lake house (he probably has more invested into it than that, too. Sometimes you sell for half your investment on an all-custom abomination like that) is a sad illustration of how Ted was running the company, extracting as much profit out for himself as humanly possible. Seems it always hits a wall in the end.
Real shame, because they make kick-ass attachments and have a lot of satisfied customers, too.
Personally I would never give 3 thousand or more of my hard-earned dollars up front to a company that already seems a bit shady, just to patiently wait 3-6 months for delivery. There are competitive products available TODAY for immediate delivery at substantially lower prices. But to each their own.
Will be fascinating to see if they can resume operations and regain their reputation after this debacle. The internet never forgets.
