UPDATED: Mark L. Schifter, PLEADS GUILTY to suspicion of charity fraud

[T2T]

So, you're saying we may be able to send Ramen to a Colorado penitentiary and get VA451 credit in exchange?

Yeah, but I've heard the pork flavoring gets you a little more credit that the chicken flavoring ... so, trade wisely.

I thought this blog post was amusing!

New Rockets Taking Shape
G2 Rockets about to appear


Just taking a moment to start this blog by letting our friends know that the 1st of the G2 Rocket samples will roll out next week. This will be a proud day for all of us - and one that will not be lost on friends.

That is humorous...

Ahh ... the sweet smell of vapour in the morning.

The Audio Design Groupe' is not a loudspeaker company, it's a way of life. And rather a poor one at that.

Since there had been talk about whether or not Danny was involved with the new G2 line, the other blog post in April mentions his name:

April 24
More G2 Rockets Ready
The next new models are close to leaving for Danny. The G2 600 looks just right. The proportions filled in nicely – and I’m really happy with this model. By Monday the 600 will be ready and the new G2 400 bookshelf should be ready to go as well.

Exciting times…

Personally, I can't wait for that faithful Monday in April to get a gander at those 400's and 600's that will be "ready to go"

Are people still doing the AV123 folding thing?

Folding thing? Is this were the design groupe teach you to make origami out of a 123 product manual??...oh wait.

Are people still doing the AV123 folding thing?

I think my PS3 is still folding (still want to do so). I posted to AV123 just before the big cleanse about needing a new team to fold for (I'm open for suggesions). I think there were only a couple folders left the last time I checked.

 

[Shed]

Are people still doing the AV123 folding thing?

Yes, in fact the entire company appears to be folding.

Still shows no rating on the Better Business Bureau website.

I think a better idea is to find out who the largest, scariest, most abusive sodomist in the prison is and send him cigarettes which he can then use to purchase MLS.

Doesn't work if they're smoke free facilities. Maybe I'll watch some MSNBC and see what's being bartered these days.

Don't forget folks

Friday the 13th at 1 pm is Humbly Bumbly's next court appearance. Will Kyle drive him? Will his loving and devoted wife? Will Santiago come to the rescue of his brother and give him the money he needs to square things up? Will he be forced to join a gang and get tattooed? Will AV451 announce they're moving to smaller quarters to better serve the public that is yearning for their new speakers and subs? All these questions and more on the upcoming episode of, Real Audiophiles of Colorado.

I'm sure decks of cards, candy bars and stuff like that are the "new" currency while in prison. Not that I'd have any personal experience in that area.

Sheesh. You've given us quite a few details. I may not have to watch that episode now. Though, it would be kind of funny if the TADG was a bunch of catty ladies like on the Real Housewives of N.Y.

This just in.... thanks to the incredible response we had with our DIY cabinets, we've decided our customers would love to be involved in every step of the process.

Introducing.... our new DIY Speaker Kit. It comes with everything you need to reproduce our exciting new speakers... in the privacy of your own home.

Hint: Get that rosewood tree in the ground quick. It'll take a while for it to mature to full height so you can strip it of it's lovely rosewood skin.

Without further adieux:

Is this their building? If so, it suggests the owner is looking for new occupants.

 

[gonk]

In addition to preparing saplings for the DIY kit, they must also have every employee busy working in the warehouse to unload the truckloads of new G2 Rockets this week - it's the only sensible explanation for the sudden lack of staff answering phones and emails, plus it will give Mark a chance to see the G2 series debut before his next court date.

Speaking of possibly-misleading behavior, that b-stock page is starting to look pretty picked-over, - if somebody who didn't trust Mark (as if such a person could exist after all his good deeds, flawless products, and punctual product launches) were to look at that online garage sale alongside the lack of returned calls and emails, they might think the company was very, very close to going out of business.

If they move their operations to a shed, they can sell branded Ricket Pens and Ricket T-Shirts and still might be able to maintain operating costs. They can even run daily specials from what they access from the deep dumpster storage facilities. This business model has winner written all over it. Low operating costs and high profit margins.
