Bad Survive! Deserves A Permanent Post In The Hall Of Shame

Strange comments on Jon's / Heavy Set Tactical most recent YT video. It appears that there are some deleted comments, but based on what is left Jon appears to not be working at S!K any more.

To paraphrase Biggie, "it goes, on and on and on..." until S!K runs out of money. :(

So the backlog is finished up then. All the 10, 12, TSK, and 5’s on back order must have gone out the door and they are starting fresh?

No, they didn’t even make a dent in the backlog? Oh well.
 
comment on YT from Jon / Heavy set tactical:

"I tried spent money spent time months of time there yes. But in the end it is guys call and we could not outrun our expenses and refunds and the run on the bank happening. It's not possible to do anything but delay it. So I'm putting out a discussion video on what I know is occurring now to the best of my ability."
 
another comment posted a few minutes ago from Jon / Heavy set tactical:

"I am not an owner nor working at survive as of n This week no. Survive is getting out what they can and downsizing and pivoting into a situation I am unclear of."
 
After a decade, this BS might finally be drawing to a close. I feel bad for the customers that are going to get screwed, but glad that no more people will get drawn into Guy's scam...

but it really was the steel's fault. ;)

But not before they got that sweet sweet Heavyset Jon life savings. That’ll be a nice little nest egg for Guys next move.

I really hope you are wrong. I kinda felt a little bad for Tyler and Jon. It seemed like both (stupidly, and despite Guy's history of being a shitbag) initially believed that they were helping a good company get through a tough situation.
 
I received the following information a short time ago...and have been given permission to share it with the members here. (A few portions not directly relevant have been left out of the quoted material.)

The individual has asked that I not share their identity and I intend to honor that request. Do with the information what you will.

I have been talking to Guy periodically over the last 6 months sharing with him my thoughts on what he needs to do to get this thing turned around. He was gracious about everything I said, but politely told me in so many words, "I got this, don't worry."

He replied today to a message I sent several days ago... He told me he thinks the ballgame is over. He mentioned his ex wife or soon to be ex wife, didn't exactly keep the best records so their financial situation is worse than he thought; I know, pointing the finger at someone else. He mentioned his machinist, who moved from Idaho with him to PA, is going back to Idaho due to family issues; a huge blow. He seemed pretty despondent about the situation he is in.

I've been watching some of his early videos where he talks about the backlog and refunds. He simply bit off more than he could chew and drastically under capitalized the company in the process. He might be a great designer and have incredible attention to detail, but he lacks the skill set needed to run a business.

I suggested to him to try to find a knife company who can buy him out so at least there is still a way for the people who are owed knives can still get them. But I suppose Chapter 7/11 bankruptcy might be his only realistic option now...With all that said, I feel badly for the people who paid him for knives and will likely never receive them. It's a shame and it could have been avoided.

Of course they are getting a "divorce" she will get a nice prearranged settlement aka all the money people have paid & he will claim bankruptcy and they will live happily ever after.

This thread is not proof of what you claimed, which was "Thousands of currently unfulfilled orders"

I think it's safe to assume that we were correct in assuming that there were "Thousands of currently unfulfilled orders".
