    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bad Guy New England Aquatics...Troy, Chris, and Kelly!

We have taken all steps needed to prosecute, and we have patiently been waiting to hear something from the police. Meanwhile, I finally, after several weeks, received communication from NEA. Apparently they went under, and I am supposed to collect from someone else...a Stacy Antonelli. I just got his info this morning, so I have yet to contact her. Does anyone know this person? I have a number, I but I am waiting until a decent hour to call. Here is the email sent to me by Troy:

Some interesting information...

New England Aquatics was previously known as Big Fish Little Fish Aquatics, and owned by Stacy Antonelli. Exact same address as NEA. The listed phone numbers are 603-435-6109 and 603-545-2671. Email is [email protected]. Fax is 888-875-9027. Website is www.bigfishlittlefishaquatics.com, but the website is down. Apparently Stacy gave or sold the store to Troy and Chris, they did a crappy job with it, and now Stacy has taken it over again. I sent her links to this BOI thread, so hopefully she will make this right. I'll continue to keep everyone posted!

Troy was the owner of New England Aquatics. You made the deal with him, not Stacy Antonelli. Unless he has the individual legal protection that could only be offered if NEA was a corporation, or has legal written documentation that Ms. Antonelli assumes all assets and debt, he is responsible for all debt incurred by New England Aquatics. If you decide to go after Ms. Antonelli without that, you will not recoup any funds, and it will complicate the case against Troy. Nail him to the wall!!!
 
Oh, trust me, I'd like to nail him. I've done everything that I can do. It's all up to whether or not the police decide to prosecute him or not. In the meantime, I'm going to take any leads that I can get.

Does anyone know how to find out of NEA was an LLC? Because if they are NOT an LLC, then things will be better for me, as they will still be responsible for the money owed. If they ARE an LLC, and the company went under, then they may not be liable to pay.

Jamie Hough
 
Wow, that stinks. I probably won't recover any of the money, but it is STILL a criminal offense that they wrote the bad check. Hopefully the Chichester police will decide that it is worth it to prosecute. This is just sooooo wrong! :angry:

If Stacy Antonelli bought the LLC from the owner, then I believe they are liable for his debts. I would suggest calling Stacy, being honest and upfront about everything, and finding that information out. Being that she took over their inventory, I believe that would put her up for liability being their is a lean of sorts against some of the animals he has in his possession. Being that he didn't pay for them, he can't legally give or sell the animals to someone else.

Sounds messy.

Where it may be prosecuted as a criminal offense, you may get lucky and he will have to pay restitution. Fingers Crossed!

What has the Chichester Police Department told you, about what their plans are? Have they told you anything?

They have not told me any information about what is going on...although I suspect that they are prodding into the issue and that is what prompted NEA to contact me after all this time and try to pass the problem off on someone else.

The problem is Stacey owner financed N.E.A to Chris and Troy. Once they ran up her tab and were sniffed out for drugs they gave it back to Stacey. I haven't been able to find them since they jumped ship because Stacey is sending them to court.

Interesting...we were able to get back $200 out of what they owed us. We pretty much gave up and decided it was not worth our time to continually send them letters, phone calls, etc. to try and collect. I hope they get what is coming to them one of these days.
