[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 8053745, member: 6779310"] He's not at millionaire any more. He's nearly bankrupt, thanks to mishandling the RRT kickstarter, and thanks to his mismanagement thereof, lost his most lucrative license. He's said as much, but blames everyone else involved. He's been late on almost every announced ship date for product ever, has never learned to pad such estimates by the several months needed. One of his former employees noted that the license for Savage Worlds Rifts was essentially a bailout for his [I]personal [/I]finances; he was nearly bankrupt. The $2 million embezzled several years back by an "employee and friend" was the money to pay for the upcoming print runs. Many, however, do not believe his claims. I believe he came up $2M short, but none of his attributions of blame. He's one of the largest unfulfilled kickstarters on the market. This leaves him with a HUGE potential liability - he can't fulfil it, either, because it was a licensed property to which he no longer has a license. He also sold off at fire sale prices the remaining unsold inventory for those products. And persons from the company that partnered with him on it all blame him [I]personally[/I]. He's notorious all right. He's looking at undischarged fiscal liability in the 6 figure range... most of his fans won't go for joint suit, because his apparent incompetence has left him unable to pay a judgement even if they got one. If it isn't incompetence, then he's a fraudster. Let us also not forget: Eric Wujcik was a large part of his staying financially afloat. A partner in PB, and one of its most prolific authors. Eric is no more. 12 years and one month gone, 12 years of Palladium spiralling into debt and failure to fulfil its obligations. [/QUOTE]
