MB has finally broken the shackles of Liar Cheater Pig. The business is now ….. his. He’s been making payments to Liar Cheater Pig over the last few years in order to buy the business and LCP kept going back on his word, demanding more and more. Forget it, dude. It basically came down earlier this week.

MB told him over the phone:

“You can write me a check for what the business owes me and I will go on my merry way OR you can give me the rest of the equipment, I will consider the debt settled, and the business will be mine.”

(Uhm, as it was supposed to be two years ago.)

Silence on the other end of the line. What MB didn’t say was: “OR we could sue you.”

Finally, in typical greedy fashion, LCP blurted, “So I just get NOTHING???”

(Well, dude, you get the over $200,000 paid to you over the last three years. Also, you get: NOT BEING SUED for a lot more money than the original debt. You know, if that’s worth anything to you.)

MB just evaded, saying, “Well, I’ve consulted several people about this business transfer and I think this will work best.”

Silence.

Silence.

Then ….. all of a sudden …. LCP …. agreed. He agreed. One of the greediest, most despicable men we’ve ever known actually agreed.

But then, just seconds later, he whined, “Well, that money you fronted the business, you just took it right out again.”

(We did not. And we have proof.)

MB just said, chuckling, like speaking to a child: “Oh, LCP. I guess we could have this conversation til the end of time.”

Silence again. No comeback to that.

I am so proud of him. He didn’t take any of LCP’s bait. He didn’t go into any extraneous conversation with him. He just stayed steady and mostly silent and deftly sidestepped the landmines.

And he won. It actually happened. After all this time.

  1. Whoa. Tracey, beaner, what’s going on? Is it true? Are you really doing it? I saw the cached page on Google Reader…
    There’s nothing like being your own boss.
    I really hope it works out for you.
