    Yea alright smart ass i get it that read really badly. <br><br>
    The point was made in relation to the fact people often blame the bank first. When in reality the last ones to pull the pin are the bank or the tax department.

    IRD is more aggressive about pulling the pin than banks, TBH - they take a more broad view, and will happily force liquidation and bankruptcy if they feel a director needs to stopped from operating.

    That's good news for your brother. It's a shame they tend to sell shitty gear because it would be worth buying something if they stood behind it.<br>
    Anyone heard who might be buying it?

    I assume if you hang onto those gift vouchers etc they could be used later? If a new owner is found.

    Big surprise. Any remaining customer goodwill would have been toasted by the voucher saga...
