Yeah, it's not lookin' good. What a crappy way to quit. Dishonest, if you ask me. Just own it. Announce your intentions, have a fire-sale and close if you wanna be a quitter.

Now the brand is ruined too. Good luck selling the residual value.

I'm sure there is some back story full of excuses for mismanagement or blaming external factors or some such garbage. Walking away & leaving a (now) fraudulent website up to collect unknowing customers money with no intention of making good on orders is inexcusable. Ignoring customer inquiries and ignoring the answering machine leaving customers to wonder if their order will ever be shipped is the biggest chicken move ever. A complete and total absence of integrity.

I hope Cycle Monkey (emphasis on monkey) reads this.
