Joystar circling the drain?
Jeff,
Your attempt to insult me personally is actually of little consequence, for it would seems that a much bigger issue is why someone would have such a hate for Ray himself, to even go to the time, effort and trouble to want to make him look like a total fool. After all... why even bother? Of course, that 'someone' could always be just an excuse, as the booze wears off. While Ray does indeed go off the deep end now and then with his insane innuendos, simply as a means to create doubt, at least he does have the added benefit of those such as yourself, and other shills, who quickly back up his every move if and/or when necessary. While it must be nice, in my case, it is certainly not necessary. That would simply be preaching to the choir. I can certainly answer his off the wall speculations if and/or when I feel it necessary to do so. Most however are simply allowed to die of their own weight. On a personal note though, your recent input is just not worth the effort of any further response. On the other hand, I wish to personally thank the new and personal response that I received from a Canadian resident - because of this newest post/threads, and another lurker in this case, obviously wanting to remain anonymous, but encouraging me to not allow this intimidation and harassment to discourage me in any way. Believe me, it won't! Happy sailing... John Sisker - SHIP-TO-SHORE CRUISE AGENCY® (714) 536-3850 or toll-free at (800) 724-6644 & (Agency ID: 714.536.3850) www.shiptoshorecruise.com |

A million shares? Would that be a controlling interest? I'd love to own a company long enough to file for Chap 7!!!! Better yet, buy a controlling interest, then go to Washington for a bail-out! I'm not looking for a bail-out, just a hand-out. -- - dillon I am not invalid When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams come true.

Joystar circling the drain? Now Forced Bankruptcy????
http://www.travelagentcentral.com/le...n-agents-12119
or http://tinyurl.com/957dzs And another story at http://www.travelpulse.com/Resources...l.aspx?n=50119 Seems that some Joystar agents have filed an "Involuntary Petition for Bankruptcy" in Florida courts trying to collect unpaid commissions. 15 agents are included in the suit claiming that Joystar owes them more than $150,000 in back commissions. What in blue blazes is an "Involuntary Petition for Bankruptcy"? I thought if someone owed you money, you just sued them for it, not petitioned the court to declare them bankrupt. -- George Leppla http://www.CruiseMaster.com Cruise Specials Weblog http://cruisemaster.typepad.com/my_weblog/ |

Hi George, This type of petition tries to recoop any assets for the creditors before they can be diverted. This is somewhat common in these types of cases. BTW, I am not a lawyer nor did I sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night so take this info for what it is worth. Now John is going to accuse you of not giving both sides of this story but I assume you will get over it. Hopefully, John will give us the other side of this story as he has promised for months. Seriously, I just hope those that booked with agents through this company will not lose their vacations. That would be a real shame. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com -- |

Joystar hasn't published or released any public replies that I am aware of, but if anyone would guide me to positive stories about Joystar, I would be glad to post them... or the links. -- George Leppla http://www.CruiseMaster.com Cruise Specials Weblog http://cruisemaster.typepad.com/my_weblog/ |

This was all reported on before via the professional trades, so just
continuing to try to create doubt is rather redundant and self severing. But, keep circling guys... you may indeed get your chance to say "I told you do" anyway. However, if any related information in this reference is to be brought forth again, it certainly won't be through this newsgroup. Happy sailing...

In this case, the petitioners probalby know or strongly suspect that Joystar doesn't have enough cash to pay in the likely event that they lose the suit. An involuntary chapter 7 CAN get the the petitioners their money before other unsecured creditors. Assuming there are any unsecured assets. Secured creditors always get their stuff first. After all, it is their stuff. For instance, most companies rent their office furniture and either lease or finance IT equipment. In chapter 11, employees are typically second in line for any money, after the secured creditors. But in most cases, they're screwed. -- - dillon I am not invalid When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams come true.

Good luck, John in LALALand (On the Left Coast) Speaking of bankruptcies, one of my favorite tales of "class" was when a national Mexican restaurant chain tanked in the 90's. The manager of one was told that they were closing for good at Midnight that evening. He had just made payroll that day, and most of the employees at work had their paychecks in their pockets. He knew that since the chain had tanked that day, the paychecks would be worthless, so he called the employees not then on the clock to warn them, and also called all the employees together. Just before the restaurant closed for good, he CASHED all the paychecks out of the till. To me, that was a good guy. -- Nonny Some people are like a Slinky: not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs. |
