sorry i'm coming late to this thread...
Wow.
Wow.
Just, wow...
What. A. Nightmare.
i'm really sorry to hear about so many people still owed so much.
i suspect dave started this whole thing with good intentions, but, when it started getting away from him, instead of doing the honorable thing and making good to the best of his ability, he lied, covered up, and let it snowball into a de-facto pyramid scheme.
we saw the same thing with slickstick.
fortunately for me, i managed to get fair dealing from both christian and dave.
... I loaned him some money that he needed to complete the Yokes project. ...
this tells us all we need to know.
for a long time, dave appeared to be well-intentioned, but disorganized.
now we know he was robbing peter to pay paul.
i'm afraid i don't have much optimism for anyone who is still owed something...
but i really hope at least some of you get what you're owed.
