I only read a page and a half, and I'm laughing my ass off at all the keyboard warriors telling Sleazy he should have done this that or the other thing....with their 20/20 hindsight.

Meanwhile, most of the people mouthing off don't have two nickels of their own to rub together. A big part of business is knowing when to fish, and when to cut bait.

Hey Scott, sorry to hear this happened, and sorry you had to share it publicly because some asshole was trying to hold it over your head.

FWIW, here is a list of some notable people who have filed for bankruptcy.
Walt Disney
William C. Durant (founder of GM)
PT Barnum (before he started the circus)
Ulysses S. Grant
Milton Snavely Hershey (his first 4 candy companies failed)
Abraham Lincoln
Thomas Paine
Rembrandt
Donald Trump
Mark Twain
Oscar Wilde
Henry Ford (First two car companies failed)
HJ Heinz

To make it in business you have to take some risks. Most of the idiots sniping in this thread haven't even taken the "risk" of moving out of their parent's house yet.
