The owner was effectively operating a Ponzi scheme and was assuring customers that everything was good up to 3 days before he stopped answering the phone, emails and disappeared.

That is the bottom line announcement.
That is bad news and not what I would have expected from the firm. Businesses prosper and businesses fail but Ponzi schemes are intentional and literally criminal.

If the representation is true then I have no sympathy for the business owner(s) who seduced unwary buyers by using an industry good name to inspire confidence that they were engaging in a fair value for value exchange from a reputable provider.
