  1. Ivans is spot on, a business owes it to their customers to not owe them money, and any personal funds should have been protected such that if the worst happens, monies relating to the business that are owed can be paid out (ESPECIALLY to customers) and the business itself shut down rather than accumulating debt that has to be settled from personal funds.

    Sure, the business owner has his troubles but the customers themselves are also missing these fairly substantial funds for a long time that could result in them having personal problems too. And it's not their fault or something that could have been prevented, because the customers aren't always informed beforehand about everything.

    I've witnessed firsthand unprofessional fund handling (and investors not holding up their end of the bargain) resulting in soured personal relationships with designers, many people including me being owed a fair amount of money for almost a year and the business shutting down completely; the latter of which should have happened a long time before and none of these would have happened. It's very frustrating for the business owner, but I am facing financial problems on a personal level as a result of the whole affair and that isn't right.

    That said, whatever the personal issues are here, a business is a business and should have been conducted as such from the start. We all have our own personal issues but there is a trust bound to customer/business relationships that should never be breached, which is why laws exist to protect against such problems.

  2. yeah regardless of how serious this is, this forum isn't the best place to vent. it's ultimately a shallow forum about fashunz after all (3).

    i've been in the position of being part of a store that ended up owing people money, at the same time being one of those owed money by the owner due to several reasons so i can sorta see the frustration on both ends.

    this is where mixing up business and personal issues/funds/etc becomes a really bad thing... hope everyone gets their shit sorted out. all this talk makes for a great read (hah) but it's not the most considerate thing to put on a public forum.

  3. I hate when you have something mentally reconciled, only to have a dream about it that feels so real that it messes with your head and sets you back at square one.

    yeah, just had this last night.
