Give this another 6-12 months and see where it ends up.

I would love to see Ted try his good ol boy charm on Judge Judy

I cannot speak to that because, like everybody else, I don't have any insider information.

What I do know:

1) When in the middle of a lawsuit, until the lawsuit is settled, all attorneys advise their clients not to talk to anybody not involved with the lawsuit.

2) People in the community will talk and often talk smack assuming something is up (wrong) because nobody directly involved in the lawsuit is talking.

3) Idled employees may or may not also talk smack because they are not gainfully employed.

4) Idled employees will all at some point seek other work elsewhere because they too have bills to pay.

5) EA had a bunch of backorders and the new production facility was to help that.

6) Asking for payment upfront was to slow down demand that EA couldn't reasonably meet, but the orders kept coming in.

7) Ted had hired professional management most likely so he could focus on product design as well as marketing (making videos and such which is EA's online marketing strategy).

So yeah, based on what I do know, I doubt that Ted used customers' funds as his own money and to accuse Ted of commingling customer funds with his own funds is to claim Ted embezzled money.
Embezzling is a crime and Ted has not been accused of embezzlement. As such, I also know those people claiming he did are speculating, and frankly bearing false witness.

Maybe just venting if you happen to be out thousands of dollars and purchased due to need.

I'm not going to begrudge customers their opinion when they have nothing but questions and significant out of pocket loss.

1) Why won't the municipality grant an occupancy permit?

My suspicion would be: because they didn't actually finish the building, because they ran out of cash. And then simply found a contractor to blame.

Pure speculation on my part here, but we've all seen it before.

Per the court documents Ted received funds from the construction loan but did not pay those funds to the contractor.

"Court documents say the company requested and received more than $1 million from the construction loan to pay Neill Grading. Everything Attachments, the court documents say, did not fully pay Neill Grading and did not repay Fidelity."

It would be an interesting sales agreement that protects the buyer from delinquent taxes, liens, legal judgements, unpaid bills, past and future lawsuits .....

In case anyone else was wondering about when Ted's pot arrest was, it was in 2016. Probably not relevant to his current problem.

Paywalled by the local paper but some pro-pot magazine picked up the story:

NC: Newton Business Owner Threatens To Move Company Over Weed Charges

Newton — A Newton business owner intends to move his business and 50 jobs out of the county after the Catawba County Sheriff's Office charged him with felony drug possession Tuesday. Ted Corriher, 51, of Newton, turned himself in on charges of one felony count of marijuana possession, one...

Yep, Just background info for the Ted fanboys. It's not so much the weed, but the threat to move the company for revenge.

Sounds like ole Ted has the same disease as someone else we all know. He thinks he is above the law.

and who might that be gator?

If you don’t know by now you have been living on another planet.

Must be speaking of Willy Nelson because ol' gator wouldn't be bringing politics here.

 

[airbiscuit]

We can't compare Ted to Willie, because Willie delivers on his promises.

Let's stay on topic with Ted.

He wouldn't be the first...

I lost count of the number of small businesses I know that left California and some were quite bitter saying generations built these companies that pay good union wages and significantly contribute to the tax base.

Simply put they don't want us here anymore and have severed all ties as California will track you down if you have any presence here.

One if the latest is a foundry with over 100 years in the community.

They moved to another state which welcomed them... manufacturing carries quite a burden here and quite the opposite we're it is welcomed.

Sounds like EA has gone to pot...
