![]() ![]() We all knew that this would be successful and we all agreed to work together to make great products and absolutely no "screwing around" with the finances. ![]() Having experience with unethical business partners in the past (like at the original MR) I had hired several qualified family members and outside consultants, so we could have a core-staff of people that we could trust. Because of circumstances well-beyond my control, I am now unemployed, along with the rest of our staff. I hoped for this to be my last big business before I retired. This was the company that I and my family started and were supposed to be working for, for many years. I took this business extremely seriously and the responsibility of people pre-paying for our lead product heavily weighed on me on a daily basis. I even hired two financial consultants to provide an on-going third-party review of the company and finances to see if we were making any mistakes so we could correct them in real-time. I spent three years of my life trying to make sure this did NOT happen. I want to say to everyone, I am SO sorry this has happened. I don't know any more than that, as the current management has refused to share any information with me for the last few months. Please note that this is a reorganization, not a dissolution, and I understand that there is a plan to move forward with the company and its share-holders (I am one of them). This has been posted elsewhere on FB, so it is not a secret. On July 23, 2020, MRG filed for chapter 11. The delay currently affects ONLY the HAL product. I would like to add that in the three years of our operation, we shipped many thousands of orders out (often the same- or next-day) so we were generally very successful there. I can't post everything, as I have no desire to engage in a legal battle with the company I started, but I will try to clarify as much as I can. The situation is absolutely unacceptable and customers are entitled to know what happened. I have made numerous attempts to communicate/ask questions/suggest conference calls to discuss the company moving forward, and to-date I have received no response from anyone other than their lawyer saying "We will get back to you soon." Several of the remaining management personnel/share-holders are still there, and they have been running the company since my departure. To be clear, I officially resigned from MRG on May 15th, after I had laid-off all of the staff (including myself) in early-April. I understand that may many people are upset about the excessive delays in getting the HAL 9000 product delivered and the recent total lack of response from Master Replicas Group. There is a plan to get our surviving, incredibly-talented group of great people back together and resume creating new, amazing products under a new corporation. This should never have happened and am beyond-frustrated that I spent three years trying to stop something that could not be stopped. Someone also posted all of our personal info on the internet including a google earth map to my home. I am receiving phone and e-mail threats and I understand that people are ticked off, but yipes, guys. I have no words to express how I feel about this. I only know that I, my family, and my entire staff have all been unemployed since April. I have no idea what the future of my company is now. I don't intend to give up and will keep working to do whatever I can to make sure that ALL of the customers who are owed anything will get compensated. We did manage to ship many thousands of great products out to customers, so THAT is good. I spent the last three years of my life fighting/arguing/engaging with powerful, wealthy narcissists to make sure this didn't happen. They are not responding to ANY of my requests for information for the last several months, so I only know what the general public knows. They filed for Chapter 11 reorganization last week. I HAVE ALSO ATTACHED THE TEXT TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS E-MAIL> PLEASE SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM IF YOU WANT TO READ IT!ĭespite all of my efforts for three years, my partners have finally managed to bankrupt MRG. If you haven't seen it, you might want to look it up. ![]() Hello! As some of you are aware, I recently posted an update on MRG to Facebook and the Indiegogo account. "Hello and welcome to the SD Studios AUGUST Knew better not to give money to anyone remotely linked to eFx and some other clowns. Had the feeling when they first announced themselves.
