that's happened to me 2 times in the 90s.. working in telesales/call centres that up and vanish. show up to work and all that's there is a few cords / phones.

at least the runner of said establishment mailed us cashier checks lol

I used to go to a private college in st.kitts to do computer certifications (MCSE, A+, CCNA and Novell). 4 months in, I go there in the morning, notice on the door saying they are filing bankruptcy and not too long before that, an asset transfer was done so they dont loose all the hardware.....******s

To make it worse, I had 2/3 of my tuition already paid in advance...which i was able to recover about 2.5 years later as the school was governed by the private vocational thingie therefore they had a bond.

Overall i still lost $1500 in the process.

The worst part was to find a school to complete what i was trying to do...with no money! We got lucky by bringing our teacher with us to another institution and worked something out...!



Never trust anyone with your money!!!

a story to tell.

Wait, does this mean that there is an open space that is not sheduled to be reclaimed until the new year?










.......... NYE oldschool abandoned wharehouse rave anyone?

yeah that's what I'd do. Hire all the juice monkeys you work with as bouncers and bring in a bunch of DJ's and promote your ass off. Throw the sickest party TO has seen in years and make a killing (since you won't have to pay to use the space), then live off the revenues until you can get back on your feet.

when life hands you lemons (empty warehouse space), make lemoaide (killer uber rave with $10/person tickets!)

private gym

and no malek this is different b/c this gym has been running for 3 years now and some of the clients have been there for entire full 3 years and plus some trainers there have known the guy for over 5 years!! this is totally out of the blue. i got like 15 calls today from different clients, some just crying into the phone when they came there realizing they had just lost the $2000 they paid last week, others threatening to hunt the guy down for their money. i just told them while they are at it, if they could also pick up the $400 he owns me!

hmmm the rave idea sounds interesting

Thats a touch fucked up.
