Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

From another poster:

“What they said is there is no parent company to both the plant and VMP, so the plant is not wholly owned by VMP. It is still not clear whether VMP and the Plant have common investors or if VMP itself has an ownership interest in the plant.”

It’ll be interesting to see more as it comes out. Seems like the board vote could have been to invest in the plant and let Cam and co run it while remaining as csuite at VMP…
 
That figure seems high given multi-month subscriptions, not to mention all of the promotions they ran for most of last year.
Yea it’s definitely high. But also doesn’t include store purchases, add-ons, anthologies, etc. it wouldn’t shock me if they clear that in gross sales.

The weird thing to me is how they can manage their cash flow. Especially with all the sales that probably caused a big increase in year long subs for people who are probably unlikely to resubscribe at the full price.
 
i wonder what severan thinks about all this

It's been publicized that it was going to be a VMP pressing plant for literally years. The board only just noticed it a few months ago?!

Like you say, the lawsuit on its own is nonsensical and full of contradictions that make the VMP board look like idiots. Assuming Cam has good legal representation, I am very curious to see his response to this lawsuit.

In my experience dealing with a few different boards, the assumption one should always make is that the board only knows what it's been told.

They are on the board cause they have money. And they meet quarterly or so, and the people they fired would be the ones presenting quarterly numbers to them.

This isn't a VMP sure is dumb situation. This is a, capitalism sure is dumb situation.

Adding to this, the CEO and the CFO will be the main Execs reporting to the Board. They would have been able to control what information is presented to the Board, and how. It sounds like the business had pretty poor controls - if there was a decent Delegation of Authority in place it would have been mentioned in the suit - signing a contract with a $1.5m initial payment seems like something that should have had Board approval.

Will be an interesting story to follow.
 
So now it's not VMP pressing plant anymore? Like they won't be pressing THEIR exclusives and THEIR Anthologies at THEIR own pressing plant THEY built and for which THEY hired the best possible people?
What made you think THEY referred to THEM? The pressing plant that THEY were advertising with the bar twice the size of the QC section was THEIRS very clearly and THEY put it in the magazines and on the THEIR website because THEY owned it but they never, ever said it was THEIRS.
