You're absolutely right. It no longer belongs on our legit list and, as such, I've removed it.
Well, I guess that confirms our collective suspicion.
They spent the money. What else could've happened?
At the date of sale, they received 100% of the purchase price. Months later, they can't afford to pay even ONE seller out of possibly dozens.
Point blank: sue them. As petrhino has said, they have NO excuse. I don't care if the guy's mother is in the hospital, you don't spend someone else's money.
I hope through this post you can contact one another to organize some form of collective legal action against ISS. They treated you like unwitting investors.
I think it's obvious to most everyone that, after six months, you're entitled to immediate compensation above and beyond what's been long owed to each of you. If they can't afford it, at least such a suit could conceivably shut them down so they can't use anyone else in this fashion.
If it were my money and my dignity, I wouldn't let them slither away. They don't deserve a pass on this, especially considering they didn't even have the decency to be straight with you throughout the duration of this process. (or, for some, at least stayed in contact throughout rather than avoiding you like thieves or cowards)
What lines have they fed you? "We have two employees and one's been on vacation?" Unless that 'vacation' is maternity leave, no one goes away for six months. Second, we KNOW that's not the true reason.
Checks have bounced. We KNOW they don't have the cash on hand to pay, which means they spent YOUR money. After months of waiting, they STILL can't afford to pay you back and they're calling it a "complication?" That's insult to injury.
Forget the bank, they "borrowed" money from their sellers to pay the bills. Apparently, it still wasn't enough.
If they were going to take out a loan, they should've taken it out in the first place so they wouldn't have to use their sellers' money to pay their debts. As a result, they dug themselves a new hole to fill an old hole. That's progress for you.
A reputable operation would have paid back their sellers and made that their FIRST order of business - not their LAST order of business.
Bottom line: if someone takes your money WITHOUT consent and holds it indefinitely that's not called 'borrowing,' it's called THEFT.
