As far as I can tell this is what happened:
* Tony hired some ex-GW staff guy named Lonnie
* WGF signed a deal with a Chinese plastic injection firm to grow the business, this involved Tony loosing majority ownership
* WGF staff were upset that the firm's deliveries were often late and contained the wrong number of items
* an e-mail was sent around by WGF staff venting about this
* Lonnie forwarded that e-mail to the firm
* the firm's owner tossed the old management team out and put his own guy and Lonnie in charge
So it looks like it all came down due to a nasty e-mail, misplaced trust, an asshole and a temper tantrum. There might have been other things going on, but it's all a bunch of mud slinging right now so who knows.
I e-mailed WGF about the androids, asking them to just give me a straight answer, yes or no. If you haven't asked for your refund yet, I would. Obviously I'll post if I hear otherwise.
