That was their keyboard supplier for the C64x.
Not a good sign, CUSA probably was buying on NET 30 or NET 60 terms, and now there is no one to write them a check. Something tells me Barry was the sole owner of the LLC and all this probably needs to go through probate and the whole 9 yards.
Most interesting, who is left to defend the Commodore trademark? Who the heck even owns it? CUSA didn't, but I'm not sure they were paying royalties until the Asiarim court battle was over- what happened with that? But Barry could write a cease and desist letter at the drop of hat, based on the presumption of an exclusive license from the winners of the court battle. And he purposely put in the right to defend the Amiga trademark in his agreement with Bill.
Do we have ourselves the Wild Wild West ?
No news from the Netherlands yet, but you can be sure that this will affect the court case there, if only from a motivational standpoint. After all, CUSA was to be Ben Van Wijhe's "way out" of his decade long history of shuffling company names and assets whilst still drawing 246,000 USD salary.
Words posted vs facts? hmmm...most people would tell you that the defense of the Amiga IP fell to Hyperion...not CUSA, despite what was posted. You could say there is enough circumstantial evidence of that on Amigaworld when Hyperion posted about what they considered violations of the settlement agreement.
