Lost house, industrial property my factory was on, cars repoed and went to jail over and over and over because I couldn't make my 2,700 a month payments for support Click to expand... 15 years ago, a shaping friend whose name I will leave out, lost the successful surfboard/surf shop business he had built up over the years with a childhood friend, who ran the shop so he could keep mowing foam. Shaper said he was getting worried about his partner, suspected him of having a growing drug habit to which he vigorously denied. Shaper went to Japan for on an annual shaping trip, returned to find the business account cleared out, accounts payable and shop rents unpaid for several months, the 150K of inventory in the shop sold off, partner now MIA. Sued by suppliers, landlord, glassing business, lost his home and just walked away from shaping, bitter and depressed. some drug addicts need a good rehab, others a damn good flogging in the public square.. |
