Just talked with the guy a few minutes ago. I was calling to talk to his wife and he saw my number and answered.
Turns out, he was not yet charged with anything. The State Police made the raid, and confiscated everything from his store.... all at the same time. It included some other stores in the area besides his.
His, his wife's and some other partners and associates' bank accounts have been completely frozen. He doesn't have access to a single penny. He said he will be cleared, but it will take time. He told me.... I can't pay you. I don't have anything at the moment. He said, don't even bother suing me, it won't make it happen any sooner. He said, go ahead and mail the invoice and as he gets back on his feet he will pay people back.
He didn't give me any grief or sound like he was blaming anyone, other than he thought he was within the laws. Evidently, Pennsylvania changed some laws about 6 months ago and he was told by his employees they got rid of the newly outlawed stuff. Guess not. However, he said, it will cost him a small fortune to get things back in order, clear his name and he probalby won't re-open... even after the smoke clears.
I'm gonna send him an invoice and we'll see how long it takes.
In the meantime.... I'm selling everything or using it for someone else.
