What if Everyone Sent Amiga, Inc. a $1 ????

"What if Everyone Sent Amiga, Inc. a $1 ?"

Then they'd have either 6 billion or fifty dollars...  ;-)

35000 x 1$ = 35000$

Not enough!

I would have, actually, put $50 per share in as an investor, providing it is voting stock rather than as some kind of coupon scam.  If someone were to organize such an effort nowadays, I could provide them a business plan.  *blows the dust off of the one he'd originally suggested to Amino*  They'd need it.

First suggestion, tho:  FIRE EVERYONE.

Where in the world do you get 35,000 people?

Just do yourself a favor and ask yourself if you would support a company that had knowingly and willingly not filed taxes for two years even when it legally was required to do so?  They aren't a not-for-profit organization or a charity, they are a business that did not succeed due to decisions management consciously made, so it should not be up to the community to bail them out when they got themselves in this situation.

I'd start in a crowded place.  Post offices on a Monday morning perhaps.

Dunno. My formula just assumed every Amiga user is willing to pay 1$

Ok, but that brings me back to my original question:

It's fun to think of it this way.  However, if they *did* do the right thing, as was claimed, and put the money into escrow, it wouldn't be in 'the bank;' it'd be held by an attorney or other unaffiliated agent in a separate account that, rightly, *couldn't* be touched even if the company foundered, at least until it got to the point of bankruptcy proceedings.

I'd love to find a quote where they said the money was going to escrow, I have never seen one, and I dont really think one exists.  In addition, as part of either Bolten or Matts case, Amiga Inc said they had no money, in any account etc.  If they have money in escrow, they should do the right thing and return it now.

I was being serious.. For the good of the Amiga and just saying to others we know that the company still exists we should all write checks or money orders for $1 and send it to them..

Superpages.COM lists this as their address and phone number (funny it's not on their own website anywhere, and believe me I spidered it)


Amiga
34935 Southeast Douglas Street, Snoqualmie, WA 98065
(425) 396-5660

Amiga, Inc is just a company.  That is all it is.  It is not the Amiga itself, nor even the Amiga community.  It is a business.  We have suffered through bankrupcy and bad owners before.  The community will be here long after people are going "Fleecy who?"

[Targhan]

Well, I am being serious.  Sending any amount of money to Amiga Inc is a waste of money, time, and heartache.  In the southland, we have a name for this sort of company, "Fly By Nights."  Leave 'em alone, and forget about Amino Inc.

@DonnyEMU

Why? the guys are criminals which for some reason makes the Amiga Inc fans praise and appreciate them even more.

No wonder they do what they do when people clearly do not give a sh!t about being screwed and go back for more time and time again.

Donate money to cancer research or something and even wipe your ass on $1, anything is better than giving it to the filth at Amiga Inc.

[JoannaK]

Wasn't that address closed down allmost year ago when they failed to
pay their rents?

[redrumloa]

@DonnyEMU

They were paying themselves hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, I don't make that much. They should give ME a dollar;-)
