We should move this new drama back to the original gvhxfs thread, what does this have to do with poor HostNun?
I just realized XFS is another colocrossing host, I guess if I'd noticed earlier this all playing out as it has would have been (even more) obvious.
DomainBop's timeline is a little amusing, how come you didn't dig that out for us drmike?!
This one?
mid-2013: Twitter: Xfuse owner posts on his Twitter page that he doesn't have any money coming in to feed his kids or pay his bills
mid-2014: Xfuse owner embarks on a public begging campaign on multiple sites including a "CenturyLink sucks" consumer complaint Facebook page he runs, and on every webhosting forum known to man, asking other people to donate money so he can feed his kids and pay his bills
early 2015: less than 6 months after the public begging campaign, Xfuse and its owner is suddenly a picture of financial stability and allegedly able to acquire heavily indebted companies assets

Well, because I leave @
DomainBop to have some air and material and that's not my angle. It's a fair perspective. I would likely be smacking that drum if I didn't know more of this situation internally as it happened with emphasis on pre-Xfuse/Duke taking of GVH customers.
Small companies being cash strapped and heads of such having cash flow after accident is fairly normal. Medical bills are the leading cause of bankruptcy in the US.
Way back a long long time ago I had contempt for Duke, even leaned on him in unfriendly ways when was involved cleaning up hacked company. Have yet to see bad intent out of Duke.
Worst I see going on is IOUs to his vendor, some of which he inherited. No secret that lowend company takeovers rarely are successful. Most end up slim to nothing left and lots of bailing by customers. Which means acquirer needs to hit sales hard. No secret either, that this year, sales aren't so good for a lot of folks.
