to my knowledge he shut it down, he just didn't feel like doing it anymore so he gave the employees their shares of the company and left...... apparently it wasn't much for him to just..... shut the factory down for a week or so and go hunting But, like i said, that is what i heard from a reliable source
hope they are still in business i purchased one a few year ago and i realy like it it has lots of room and very safe. i can set all day in it even sleep a little lol. I would like to change cables every 3 years of use.
