I worked for LikeWhoa last summer, and got fucked for a good amount of money..
Well, heres the story.
I'm sitting outside the new facility (equinix) and nick's dad is there, as well as a few other people, one i recognized, a past employee and NOC technician..
well my friend goes up to nick's dad, and asks about a $1000 check he received that had bounced.
Nick, my friend, and his dad argue and bicker about it, apparently nick and his dad are blaming Stan for running away with the company money (which I and everyone else pretty much know is 100% complete bullshit).
So my friend asks his dad something along the lines of this- "How can you not pay me, your son is driving around in a brand new CL 55, i had to ask a friend for a ride here" -
his dad said something along the lines of "nick and likewhoa have no money, i pay for that car"
(they were speaking in russian, i needed someone to translate)
Anyways, my friend goes to nicks dad "you see that guy over there, nick owes him XX dollars from last summer"
so his dad asks me my name, i told him how ive known nick for a while, worked hard for him, and proceeded to explain how I had proof his son did illegal things and the only reason I hadn't dropped a lawsuit yet was because I suspected them of going bankrupt.. i said a lot of stuff to his dad, i told him I saw the PDF file to the VERIO lawsuit, and it was no secret how LWI did business..
well, his dad - this very successful millionaire - had the most stale look on his face, and did not say a word to me, 5 minutes later (we had to go around the building to the loading dock to pick up some servers) i see nick sitting on the curb like a little boy and it looked as if his father was scolding him..
to think this guy was on the board right before all this bragging how much money he had, and abouyt his new CL 55 pissing on me and everyone else who talked shit about him.
fucked up shit.
oh, and on a side note, last weekend im driving with a friend to go shopping, and nick calls me to let me know if i needed to pick up any boxes, to do so by this past wednesday or else he would be charging a COLO fee, when i asked how much, he said he didnt know, he also told me he wouldnt be doing business under LikeWhoa anymore..
for those of you who didnt know, when they moved into their new facility, they could only deal with one provider from what i hear, it didnt take too long for LikeWhoa's reputation to reach the provider, and they turned him off for one reason or another, and after that, they were pretty much fucked.
