Many people don’t have great options and see such opportunities as possibly their only chance for a big break. They’re playing in the big-leagues and needed the kindness of strangers to bail them out of what appears to be their mistake as going by other comments units as cases are industry standard. That the distributor couldn’t move the product compounded the issue. Supplier/distributor shenanigans are common and something to be on the constant lookout for, but this seemed pretty normal, the prudent thing to do would be to not have signed up for so much but of course they didn’t know they did. Pulling the pin early might have helped, as it wasn’t selling they wouldn’t be liable for damages for failure to supply, but it would have impaired their ability to grow. Not suggesting those here did anything nefarious beyond overextending by mistake but there does seem to be a new trend in e-begging where someone gets themselves into a situation and seeks a bailout from social media. “Help I accidentally bought a $100K couch” for example. I don’t blame people doing something that’ll help them. I often wonder if I were to get terminally ill and there is an expensive cure beyond my ability to pay what my go-fund-me video would look like.
