Have a look on snipershide. Use the search button, much has been written there of late. A very rough summary would be Mr. Hicks no longer works there and ALOT of people are very unhappy with him. The companies financial position is very poor. Orders have not been completed and money payed for orders has gone "missing".
The current management? is doing as best it can to resolve the situation.
Thats as last I knew.
