Trotzdem werde ich mich erstmal mit DirektkĂ€ufen ĂŒber den WF-Webstore zurĂŒckhalten, wer weiß wie stabil das neue Konstrukt ist und welche \"Leichen\" sich noch in der unvollstĂ€ndigen Buchhaltung finden. Da gehe ich nicht in Vorkasse.

... now showing part 134 of the well established and criticlly acclaimed soap opera named \"wargames factory\"

   Public Statement from Wai Kee Hui regarding Wargames Factory

    It has been a little more than 2 months since Tony Reidy posted his “Open Letter to Wai Kee Hui” on The Miniatures Page website. I was aware of this “letter” at the time of posting and although I was annoyed at his unprofessional tone and angered at what amounted to many outright lies, I decided that my best course of action was to stay out of online politics and instead focus on trying to get the company I had recently become majority shareholder of into functional order.

    The past 2 months have been extremely busy with trying to figure out what orders had been placed and paid for before I took over, inventorying product that was still in stock at Triangle and setting up a new order platform and shipping facility. These goals have now been accomplished, with all outstanding orders shipped and our web store reopened.

    Throughout this process I was cognizant of the defamation of character my associates and I were receiving in Cyberspace at the hands of Tony Reidy and Howard Whitehouse. Even though at many times the temptation was strong for me to jump in and tell my side of the story, I refrained from doing so while we were struggling to put Wargames Factory back on track. Now that we are on the road to recovery, and in lieu of increasingly slanderous postings being made by Tony and Howard, I feel the time has come for me to set the record straight.

    I became majority shareholder of Wargames Factory along with all its’ intellectual properties on October 13th, 2010. This acquisition occurred because over the course of the previous 2 years Tony Reidy had run up a bill of more than $250,000 with my manufacturing company in China and had failed to make a single payment on his bill during this time. Despite rumors to the contrary, I am not an immensely wealthy man and this is a huge sum of money to me. When it became evident that Tony was unable and unwilling to pay his debt to me, I had to consider my options. Option 1 was that I cease making product for Tony and call in the debt I was owed, which would effectively put Wargames Factory out of business. Option 2 was that I assume 51% ownership of Wargames Factory in return for the $250,000 I was owed . The intention behind option 2 was that I would gain controlling interest and help manage the company into some sort of financial health, where I might be able to recoup the monies owed me as well as make money for the rest of the shareholders. When both options were presented to Tony Reidy he chose option 2 and signed the paperwork transferring majority ownership to me on October 13th, 2010.

    What occurred next is that Tony Reidy felt he should still be able to continue to manage Wargames Factory as he saw fit, with my only input being to proceed to produce product as before. This was not a scenario I was comfortable with, for obvious reasons. As a point of fact, before I signed the paperwork transferring the 51%, we had a forensic accountant look at the company’s financial health and it was discovered that the company had been running in the red for its’ entire existence under the management of Tony. While Tony is passionate about wargaming and the wargaming community, it was clear that he was completely unsuited to running this business. It was evident that for Wargames Factory to have any chance of financial success it would need to have a new business model.

    The months following my acquisition of majority stock were rocky and tumultuous as I attempted to form some sort of working relationship with Tony Reidy. Many months were spent trying to get Tony to release access to the web store, company records and company bank accounts so that I could start to get a picture of what we were dealing with. In addition to the constant struggle to simply gain information regarding the company I now owned 51% of, more and more vendors and individuals started coming out of the woodwork claiming that Tony Reidy/Wargames Factory owed them money and they had never been paid.

    I need to make something very clear. The agreement that Tony and I signed has a clause that states that he had fully apprised me of all debts the company owed before I became majority stockholder, and that any debts not disclosed were the responsibility of Tony, not Wargames Factory. I will not go into the long list of debts to both vendors and individuals undisclosed by Tony that have come to light over the past five months, but I am going to tell you about one specific debt.

    When I took over the company I decided that we would need to move our operations and shipping out of the Boston area. This decision was based on the fact that my associates are based in the western United States and it made the most sense for our new business model to relocate there. When we told Triangle that we would regrettably be moving our shipping operations elsewhere, they informed us that before we could remove the Wargames Factory merchandise from their facility I would need to pay them the $5,000 that was owed to them for back salaries for their disabled shipping employees. This came as a big surprise to me, especially when I asked for a copy of their bill and discovered that Tony Reidy had not made a payment to the employees of Triangle for almost 2 years. In light of Tony and Howard’s recent posts claiming I cheated Triangle out of their money, I find myself most dishonored by this blatant lie.

    There is not enough time for me to address all of the accusations and falsehoods about the new Wargames Factory team that have spun out of control over the internet for the past months, but I feel that I needed to shed a little light on what has actually transpired behind the scenes. For everyone’s information, between the $250,000 I was initially owed by Wargames Factory and the amount of money I have put into the company over the past 5 months to keep it afloat and get it back on its’ feet, it will be a long time before I possibly see any return on my investments. I am not a villainous, foreign millionaire doing a shady hostile takeover of a poor American company to make a fast buck. I am simply a business man who is making the best I can out of the difficult situation that is in front of me.

    With that out of the way I want to let you know that while I am new to the wargaming world I am dedicated to providing the highest quality and most innovative product in the market and to listening to how you, our valued customers, would like to see Wargames Factory evolve. I thank you all for your patience during what was a very rocky transition and look forward to smoother sailing ahead.

    Sincerely, Wai Kee Hui

Wer hier Schuld hat, werden wohl die AnwĂ€lte klĂ€ren mĂŒssen, aber die obigen zwei Dinge machen einfach keinen Sinn. Kein Warenlager arbeitet zwei Jahre ohne Bezahlung und hat dann auch nur 5000$ an Forderungen. Und wenn man 250K $ auflaufen lĂ€ĂŸt ist man als Hersteller der Sprues entweder dĂ€mlich oder hat eine ganz bestimmte Absicht.

[Dahark]

Ich verstehe das so, dass die Forderung von 250.000 $ durchaus im Bestanden geblieben ist und durch die Übernahme einfach nur weitere \"Maßnahmen\" abgewendet wurden. Ist ja auch nicht schlecht, als Hauptgesellschafter auch gleich noch eine Forderung gegen das eigene Unternehmen in der Tasche zu haben. WĂŒrde bei der LLC sogar Sinn machen. Oder es ist natĂŒrlich möglich, dass die Forderung tatsĂ€chlich einfach nur so durch Anteile \"bezahlt\" wurde. Entweder weil der KĂ€ufer von einem optimistischeren Entwicklungspotential ausgegangen ist oder er das Unternehmen langfristig zerschlagen oder weiterverkaufen will, um seine Forderung wieder reinzuholen. Kommt ganz drauf an wie groß die Geschichte ist. Bei kleinen Unternehmen sind 250.000 $  durchaus viel.

Bei dem anderen Abschnitt frage ich mich was das \"disabled\" bedeutet. Behinderte/ArbeitsunfÀhige Mitarbeiter? Ausstehende Krankengeld-Zusagen???

[AndréM]

Ist zwar schlechtes Englisch, aber ich denke sie meinen Mitarbeiter, die aufgrund von außstehenden Rechnungen nicht bezahlt werden konnten und entlassen werden mußten.

[Poliorketes]

250.000$ sind im Wargaming-Bereich eine ganze Menge. Ich habe das nicht so verstanden, daß der Betrag immer noch aussteht, sondern daß er mit den 51% Anteil abgegolten wurde. Das WF vor der Übernahme nicht gerade ein gut gefĂŒhrtes Unternehmen war und nach der Übernahme das absolute Chaos ausgebrochen ist sind woh ldie einzigen verlĂ€sslichen Fakten fĂŒr Außenstehende.

Triangle

Aha - danke. Also doch eine Art \"Behinderten-Hilfswerk\". Gut, dann gibt das mit den 5000 $ wohl Sinn.

Ich will dir da nicht widersprechen.  

[AndréM]

Selbst bei einem Behindertenwerk macht die Summe keinen Sinn bei zwei Jahren.

Und disabled ist in den USA immer noch schlechtes Englisch. Heutzutage verwendet man handicapped. Disabled wird aus PC schon seit lĂ€ngerer Zeit nicht dafĂŒr verwendet. http://www.dict.cc/?s=handicapped

Muß zugeben, das hat mich etwas verwirrt, wenn man einen Begriff schon lange nicht mehr im frĂŒheren Sinn benutzt und er dann wieder auftaucht (siehe gay=fröhlich).

[NemesisCH]

Mich nervt das er sich einerseits ĂŒber die SchmutzwĂ€sche aufregt und dann aber genau da weitermacht. Die sollen doch einfach mal die Minis liefern auf die immer noch unzĂ€hlige Leute warten. Es ist doch der blanke Hohn sowas zu veröffentlichen wĂ€hrend Leute immer noch auf Ihre seit Ewigkeiten bezahlten Miniaturen warten.

Ich hoffe sehr das die Firma die Kurve schafft und wieder auf die Beine kommt. Die haben ein paar sehr gute Sachen im Sortiment.
