Oh, haha, sorry. I thought they had said that and it was a funny spin.

I remember my old boss from when I worked in tech telling me that he always offered to be the first one laid off when they were happening because he was in management and it would get him a nice severance plus make his former employees think he did it for them. Really it paid for his boat and his kids college tuition. He almost always had job offers as an in demand engineer at the VP level, so would take a week vacation and then go back to work somewhere else.

Those were the days. I've never been so lucky to get offered a good severance package.

Ooo! Me too! On both sides!

I think its unlikely to even come out this year. It's behind a long line of other VMP stuff at RTI that VMP is waiting to press (Grateful Dead, Blue Note, Explorations in Sound and I think one other box?).

was the dead repress, and blue note boxes represses announced before the coltrane box?

I believe so.

Which is confusing because that would imply that it was VMPs plant, but at the same time they're trying to insist that it was never their plant. The whole thing is still very muddy with what sounds like contradictory claims at different parts. Mainly it doesn't sound like the board really knew if it was going to be their plant or not.

It read like the three execs lead the discussions with the outside investor and tried to tie the pressing plant into the Deal, which makes sense since they obviously had trouble getting outside money for their plant.
Overall the three seemed to have funneled a whole lot of vmp money and time into the plant that they owned and negotiated a deal between the plant and vmp for themselves

The most interesting thing or me was that they were still negotiating severance package with Fiedler in March of this year imcluding that Mr. Fiedler Was worried that vmp would not be able to pay the severance package of about 125,000 $ as a Lump sum.

In the counter suit Cam claimed that they were fired when they refused to be paid their severance in copies of Tennis and Sleater-Kinney no matter how many times Matt assured them that they could easily sell them at their locals.

Getting rid of all these -13% margins they should be able to lower the prices forum customers not raise them

I may be a simple caveman who barely understands your rules and customs.... but those severance packages were no where near what I would have expected from a company of this size. Especially considering one of those people, yuh know... STARTED THE COMPANY

That's why I thought it does not look good if they don't have enough cash to pay this as a lump sum
