| Dec. 28, 2015 WarningTrackpwr | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Status of the GSC bat I feel the need to address this briefly. As Benji4 stated the press has a tendency to blow things out of proportion. 18wood, to touch on what you said: I too have been to the GSC factory in South Carolina. The company was making bats but not mass producing because as we all heard there were many hiccups... understandable. As you stated, yes this company builds shoulder pads for the NFL and is also one of the leading manufactures of carbon fiber car products. - There was not a "fake" factory. I as many others have been to the office in southern California. This was meant to be a shipping warehouse but as the bats were never mass produced, the warehouse served as a "corporate office" until the shelves could be filled. -there was no "fake office" to fool investors. That being said, I am not backing what the Mckinlay's did nor do i pretend to know the details. The crimes they are being charged with are as stated, innocent until proven guilty, but again as 18wood said, Kristi was very highly regarded in her inner circle and highly trusted. That is because she herself was a multimillionaire for decades. She was the original and primary investor in the company, investing from what i'm told over 2 million dollars of her own money. That being said, and those are facts, its clear at least to me that this was not a premeditated get rich scheme. Kristi and through Marriage, Steve were already financially well off. Whatever events transpired after her money was gone, may have been outside of the law either through ignorance of it, or not, who knows. But they were with the intention of making the bat to production. All in all, it's not right if what they're being accused of is true, but at the same time its not right for it to be called a bogus operation or a way for them to "live like kings" as the brush they've been painted with insists. Just 2 cents from another person who vouches for Kristi, and feels sad to see her in this position. |
