HAHA.
So he tried showing everyone how much money he was making. He tried acting all big shot.
However when it came time for him to pay, he was always late on his bills.
Absolutely hilarious. He was trying way too hard to look cool.

But I bet he is never late on that WHT Corp Subscription Payment

I'd have a hard time calling this forgetful. If you can't or choose not to renew a server after multiple reminders, then you're being either intentionally cheap or negligent.
I don't get why people are so mean to their own clients. Was he just being forgetful?

Well it's easy to have "stacks of bens" when you don't actually pay your vendors. Remember, he owes CC at least $4000. I have a strong feeling the only reason 'the company is in debt that money' is because he used it for his own stuff, and not that the company was on hard times.
Great, so you've more or less confirmed my previous statement then. He forced lines-of-credits with vendors.

XP, in this case

Word is bird that WHT has shenanigans with Corporate $450 a quarter membership. Let's just say there are people out there who have such who aren't paying.
However for those uneducated/unknown they still consider the "Corporate Membership" to mean "Trustworthiness" and "Reliable".
Honestly it just means they can shell out 450 dollars every now and then.
But did he really? Thats more of the vendors fault for letting him go 1, 2, three months without paying. I mean thats ok for a shared website or small VPS, but were talking 1k bills here.
You'd be surprised how much people are willing to "bend the rules" with promise of future money. Because he was "web hosting", you know his success would equal your success (because they'd be buying more servers from you). So if you give them a free pass this time then maybe they'll return the favor next time and buy more servers from you in the future.
Or even then maybe let this happen however put in a clause that you can later seize the assets (such as clients) if the bill gets too high.
It's sometimes a stupid way of thinking it. Others, it's a legit way that's worked for them. Honestly comes down to who trusts Johnny and who doesn't. Personally I think anyone who trusted/believed in Johnny were misled by his "attempt at being innocent". You can tell who's more gullible.

It looks to me like he came out of it offering WHT users 65% off recurring discounts on annual payments.

See, he did learn something from this police scare. He's posting offers now from his residential connection not his school connection.

we have had a few wars on WHT with past clients that were upset that after not paying their invoice for 3 weeks, that we'd have the audacity to delete their stuff and not just "bill them for the storage". Well, given you haven't paid in the past month anyway, where's our assurances that you're going to pay now?

Long believed Jonny was mental health material... I detest the folks who discover such in their legal wranglings as an excuse for their behavior.
But, so many folks saw Jonny's antics and one minute to another flip flopping. Really not the stuff of a sane mind.
As I am fond of saying, companies will ask for prices from consumers that reflect their own self worth. With GVH that is < $1 a month. So very very low self worth, unable to justify anything other than downward price pressure.
I look forward to mental health evaluation and outcome of such for Jonny. Ideally they address deep rooted issues and get him the help he needs so the rest of his life is more ehh normal...

It's just like:
^ See? No packetloss! We're a perfectly reliable company!
I honestly think he "does hosting" to make himself feel important. I mean I think he lacks a social life outside of the internet and spends his time on GVH simply to feel important. Kid needs to grow up and maybe even go out a bit.

Sadly the buyers on WHT and more and more frequently English challenged and monetarily limited view the membership as some sort of earned status. The topic comes up too frequently to just be a random folk or two lost in space.
WHT is bound to catch some sh~t about membership in coming quarters. New owner is about content and optimizing. So they are going to be looking for coins under cushions.

I recommended gardening to him about 30 times. Plants don't care what you look like, that you are inept, that you dress funny, etc. It gives work return and something to constant tend, so gives structure.... Can become something fairly amazing or something minimal and quite modest depending on your efforts.
Community service in his own town would be another great idea....
