I'm a bit late for the thread, but the last few weeks have been hectic for me. Basically, when Matthew took over BH (After he booted Jake, the previous CEO/Owner) he had no idea what he was doing. He was constantly inactive and not really part of our core team, so we were left on our own trying to keep the place running... which needless to say, was incredibly difficult since we were understaffed and dealing with anywhere from a hundred to three hundred support tickets daily.
This left little time for us to deal with financials (infact, we had no access to this at all) and system administration, so the place was kind of falling apart all around us. Andrew and I were the only people handling tickets 99% of the time and that was just a huge workload. I was spending sixteen hours a day working on tickets alone and Andrew wasn't really that far behind me.
What caused CU and BH to crash was Matthew creating a sale thread on WHT which resulted in a thread over on Facepunch with well over 130k views and over seventy six pages of pure hate. We had no idea it was happening until our previous CEO told us and our general manager was out of town and not even informed of it. So yeah, that was a fun week :lol:.
Long story short, the damage that sale thread caused was catastrophic. After that Matthew just left the picture entirely and we heard back from him maybe once a week. I guess he wasn't paying any attention to our financial situation because out of the blue a few weeks later SoftLayer started shutting down all 67 of our servers.
During that time, Matthew was only seen once and we heard nothing from him after the initial disconnects. Larry, Terri, Andrew and Myself spent three days on voice chat and talking back and forth with SoftLayer regarding the issue and managed to get a 72 hour window for all the servers to be re-connected so our previous clients could backup their data. Again, Matthew was nowhere to be found while this was going down. We didn't even get our last pay. He owes all of us for our last two weeks, and even assured us on WHT that we would be paid -- hasn't happened.
