Maybe Mark will log in and say something about the new partnership going forward. Or did you guys cut off his access, or his fingers?
To say some people are skeptical, is an understatement. And, those same folks are probably a little surprised at this trio of players who spawned the new business. Many people here, myself included, have established relationships at the dealer/customer level with you guys that are based on like, trust and the fact that you can always go out of your way give us a better deal, short term or in the long run. Some of those same people who have been fucked over by Mark like a house cat, see this as a kick in the balls of good guys vs. bad guys. Then, there are some who just want to have a shot at the elusive CCV, at any cost and you are giving them the opportunity to do that. Observers will fall into one of the two. And, some are just bored and love the drama. Its human nature. If Mark doesn't wake up every morning with just a small twinge of guilt about the people he has fucked over in his lifetime, then he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, or his DNA pool is absent a few genes - the one's that enable even the weak to determine the difference between right and wrong.
This is certainly a different business model than the past Cameron businesses and with some checks and balances built in and a good medical care plan, it may work. Keep an eye out for things going out the back door at the house or Barrang. Mark shouldn't have access to any suppliers, accounts, purchase orders, shipping accounts, etc. His uncontrolled cleptomanial tendencies with former employers, such as Bogner, are public knowledge. Hiring a large accountant/observer named Boris, who wears a cheap suit, yesterday's spaghetti, a Mr. T starter kit, and bad cologne would work wonders in ensuring that things add up properly.
I've been there, bought the t-shirt, sold the t-shirt. It wasn't worth the drama, but that's just me. I renamed it the Cameron Tampax (only good for one time). Even though its not part of the new business model, I do hope the outstanding orders can be filled by some motivational means (enter Boris) as I doubt a contract with Mark is worth the paper it is written on, but applied pressure (Boris again), a phone tap and CCTV is. Some of us here, who don't have a dog in the hunt at present will continue to observe and to see if/when any of the outstanding amps are delivered and have a vested interest in looking out for our mates. I've earned my seat at the table already. It is someone's hard-earned money that was taken under false pretenses and that pisses me off, as it does others.
Also for disclosure, I have maintained my business relations with Tone Merchants and won't let this get in the way. I needed something last week and Rob went way out of his way to make it happen, and I am talking way out of the way. Probably, I will support him in his run for the Calexico gubernatorial race
.
But, in the end, the CCV is just a fucking amp
and not much different than scores of other high gainers on the market. Good luck guys....and FWIW, its just my 2 cents and that is all it is worth! That and $3 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
Gone to pack some stuff for shipment and figure out Pro Tools.

Its tough because you try to do the right thing and get kicked in the nuts left and right for it.
