Hi affected RF customers,

I’ve received an E-mail from an RF customer who asked why, when I knew the situation by the time I quit, ie October 23, I didn’t make a post warning customers.

A good and valid question.

Firstly when I walked out I had nothing further to do with either CAMCO or Roaring Forties and any comments from me would have been inappropriate.

Secondly I was aware of on-going discussions to raise additional working capital and if this had transpired all would have been well, the business would have continued and everyone would have been happy, ie Robert, CAMCO and above all the customers eagerly awaiting their cars. Imagine the massive law suit I could have had around my neck had I made a negative post and had a rescue package been successful.

I’m sure you are all familiar with the expression, ‘Shooting the messenger.’
