Bobby,
If your position is that your assumptions are better than mine, I don't care. You want to pop out of the blue and tell me that I am in a haze because you hold a different opinion. OK. Right. While we both have to draw conclusions as neither of us have all the facts, I have quite a few regarding this. While I cannot and will not post all here, etc, here's the context in which your assumptions, and mine, stand. Most of this info can be pieced together from all the other threads anyway.
1) Jeane Best had a thriving beardie business (part time), as she is a life long employee of the USPS. She had many good customers, some quite large.
2) After a tumultuous all-over-the-spectrum 15 years, daughter Wendy is back in the home, and helps Mom expand the business. Some things go well.
3) Within a year things are getting real bad. Wendy also gets into very serious legal trouble.
4) Mother removes daughter from the "business" after much damage has been done, and Wendy creates her new entity, still living in her Mom's house, with a few animals. She has this business for about 3 months before its off to jail.
5) Mom cannot manage Wendy's geckos. Doesn't want to. Ali naively steps in a month prior, probably thinking she is taking over a viable thing with no baggage. Surprise.
6) Wendy owes everyone close to her, and probably more customers, money. The geckos are not worth 10% of what we are talking about. Jeane Best never ripped anyone off. No one is perfect, but she hasn't scammed anyone. Neither did Ali. They are still finding out new problems weekly.
There's nothing for Wendy to run, and she is doing real hard time. I am assuming that Jeane and Ali are struggling to use whatever income can be generated from the geckos to pay these debts. Under these circumstances, you can claim it as being like Gotti running his mob from his cell while he was alive ,if it jizzes things up to suit you. Wendy has no say in what's going on as Ali and Jeane try to pick up the pieces they have left.
Finally Bobby, as I do respect you, I like to believe that I have a track record of not expecting higher standards of anyone than I expect of myself. Unlike many here, I am exceedingly hesitant to make impugning assumptions without the facts, otherwise known as the "benefit of the doubt". Ali paid USA what many others would have paid, excluding the shipping as most do. That's the fact. We have two major and regular posters in this thread who have lied through their teeth in other very recent threads, and were caught. Another seemed to have erroneously claimed a "trademark", as well as the related genetics in their animals. They can hurl the stones though ! Ali would have fared far better in my view, if she had just said "I don't have your money. Wendy is in jail. She left no contingency fund in escrow. Whatever little is left here is mine, or owed to people way ahead of you on the list, and they won't be paid either. Sorry".
Let the trolls throw around their garbage Bobby. If you have further questions, you have my number. This ain't worth it. Take care.

So the truth would be, you are running the company for Windy, True?
