The previous owner sold the company completely, the guy that took over then raised the dividend, then sold his shares. He also completely wrecked the company - smashed all the buildings and everything.

-edit- Huh, I was gonna rebuild it. Got some of the stores back up, but for some reason the insta-build to 500 thing isn't working for factories.

Most of the company's money is locked up in various inventory. It must have had a bunch of different store types before the guy who smashed everything did that. I see furniture, appliances, sporting goods - all kinds of stuff.

So...am I going to get my $1 dividend at 1am server time or not? :P

Shortly after the Goon shenanigans I just went up and sold everything. I'm a full-time investor, now, and I have a good 13m to play around with.

It does work, but it's really weird, display-wise. Reload the page and it'll show fine.

Also, sue the guy.

Ah ha thats why my pretty expensive URIST stocks are now worth the price of butter  ::).  I threw more money in to try and force my way into
                                                                                                                 ^(ninja insert) cocoa
$profits$.  I'm a small *old tymy* guy who owns small stuff, but since I found the $profits$ of store sales to B2B.  Sells Stuff INK makes more than enough money.  We made our first two milions.  Because I was am sick and couldn't can't micro my spending.  I'm listening to the Rites of Spring (Stravinsky) and feel like **making a wall of text somewhere.  **

*I just said that because it sounds cool*

Nah, it wasn't working at all. Clicking the building was showing I had to pay 9 influence and like 500k just to get the initial bit finished. Reloading it still had it say the same thing. It worked fine in the stores - I built a bunch of size 500 farmers markets. It just wouldn't work for factories.

I just sold all but 1 mil of my shares. Don't have the time or desire to run another business.

So I took over Flying Pigs. The company is 8G in debt and is making no money at all at the moment. The previous owner apparently demolished the complete aircraft production line and instead build everything full of livestock farms which are all expanding to 2000mē right now......

Embezzler is trying to counter-sue.

Well, embezzler's possible multi-account. I'm not sure. Basically, cheer me on here: http://www.ratjoy.com/forum/topic/countersuit-wrong-choice-inc-and-ratan-joyce-360m2000infl/

Seriously, I could care less, since I was only in the company to make a bit of money, but I hate liars and thieves.
