Just want to say, of all the cases I've had, bar none, this is my favorite. A JB Mason. To my eye, the dimensions are perfect.
The design is clean, crisp and compact. I just love this case. I don't use it on a daily basis because I want to preserve it. I too hope John gets
my friend Matt squared away.

I never ever intended to lose this much even by my standards this was beyond crazy. But everybody is going to get paid and no one is sweating it. I am glad you all are taking about it and speculating but we are ok. No one else but my wife and i own our company and never will unless someone makes us a ridiculous but serious offer. Which honestly is never likely to happen because our business is deliberately niche with complex moving parts that make it very hard to simply step in.
Without going into details we spent over 300k in the first quarter and since March we out, like our colleagues, the significant revenue that comes with don't the big events. We might make that up if those events are held later in the year but it's doubtful as the nation will still be digging out a financial hole.

Hey JB, could careless about your spending habits... wondering if Covid-19 will change where you manufacture, because as far as I am concerned, F China.

I worked with JB Cases, and still help customers design customs. If you would like, I'll help with the design (unless it is in the website archives and I can locate it) and get it made.
For the record, I don't get any commission or kickbacks for my assistance, I just do it because it's something I enjoy.

JB is a great guy and I don’t know him personally. He’s a legitimate professional and I could careless what he does with his money but I care. I don’t think he should pay.
He’s never gave any hints of being a bad dude. People can bash him but he’s alright.
My problem is that I don’t want to see him lose his ass off.
Continue to support him as he’s the guy protecting our cues.

**** them don’t pay them. They had no intentions of gambling. No money up front.
I owe my little brother a million dollars because I thought the Celtics were going to win.
Who are these guys ? I may know people that can talk to them. Give me the garage address or everyone reading this thread. We don’t know who can do what in today’s society.
I cannot confirm nor deny of people getting getting the cold or the corona.

You sounded awful broke on the videos. Anyone with a business worth millions should be able to get $50k minimum just with their credit cards. Let the CC company wait, pay up and get it over with. Did you f*ck up your credit too?

DJ, I appreciate your kindness.
I have all of the message traffic. I HAVE Karen's design in my message traffic. It didn't get done because...it obviously was not a priority for John. Period. Every time a period of time passed and we messaged I would say I STILL WANT IT, please.
John, I feel like you can get in touch with me and take the initiative if you want to get this resolved. I've long wrote it off and I'm not going out of my way now and not going to beg. I'm not trying to be a jerk - just saying.
I don't have any ill will towards anyone. All the best.

Thank you, Chris. Proud to call you a friend!
John's cases are brilliant, and that one is gorgeous.

Well I have zero idea what John grosses annually, or his net is. Tought being in business, and if you have a business, sometimes you would be better off working, say at Post Office for 30 years, and retiring.
The advantage of self employment is if your lucky, is you only have to deal with clients, and people associated with em. You might have your dream profession, make big bucks doing something you enjoy.

Here is Karen's case design. I really liked it. I blocked out my last name on the jpeg.

And, he had the opportunity to play for another 20k and was scared in my opinion. That opportunity has been gone for several years because i finally said not worth it anymore to bother trying. I'd much rather spot the guy i just lost to for my life than to spend another minute with that odious and dishonest person.

I have addressed the whole thing about playing a second match before, to wit: if any sort of credible proffer had been made we would have been all over it.
Chicken says he asked if I wanted to rerun it and I either didn't hear him or didn't take him seriously. Particularly after you balked at playing the first set for $20,000 and refused all side bets. In any case, we hung around a bit but, given the fact that we were in a strange pool room in NJ with close to $40,000 on us we didn't feel comfortable hanging around long.
We said our goodbyes to everyone and neither your nor Chicken said a word. Not to me. Not to Mike. Not to Dustin. There is no reason on God's good green Simonis covered Earth that I wouldn't have leap to play you another set.

Sure.
And this is just another $35,000 well spent on PR, lol.

There was no plea. And no intent to not deliver Matt's case. I don't know where or why the project stalled
but Matt will be made more than whole.
