LB, I think this thread serves several purposes and should stay open. Of course, I still believe Dusty will get his money. The COMIBOL deal is likely taking longer than Brian's optimistic assumptions.
But Brian's failure to communicate with Dusty is inexcusable. How would you feel if you bank stopped communicating with you and would not allow you to access your funds? I am guessing most people would be angry and stressed. In the longer run, Brian's failure to recognize and compensate for his character flaws will doom RSC. But in the shorter run, I still believe that RSC will get some sort of financing and be able to pay Dusty back.
Brian has not addressed the problems that caused this thread, so closing this thread would show Brian that he is rewarded for the worst customer service I have ever seen or read about.
Other than this thread, most people would only find positive information about RSC and most of that information would be from RSC. Making the public aware of the risks of doing business with a company is part of what a community is all about. If people read this thread and still want to invest in or order from RSC, that is their choice. But at least they were able to make an informed judgement of the risks.
