DP spent money at trade shows like drunken sailors. They don't have any money left. Case closed.
Possible strategy #1: We could try to force them into bankruptcy and then buy the IP to TBL. The problem with that strategy is the company is in Denmark, not very close to most of us and we don't know Dutch law. If an angel investor wanted to bail DP out, he/she would spend 500k and 2-3 years and THEN have to negotiate production with ARA or another manufacturer. There is no scenario where this makes financial sense.
Possible strategy #2: If the investor started over, perhaps they would only be 100k in the red (probably more like 200k), but everyone with deposits or paid in full would have a total loss. If TBL is resurrected (with DP gone), we are all probably looking at a total write off. Would you still want a TBL if you had to pay 10k to the new owner - with your original investment gone forever? I'm not sure I would.
If enough people like strategy #2 and we can find a reputable US manufacturer like Spooky.... then perhaps I would be willing to pay some legal fees to explore this option.

ARA has DP over a barrel. DP almost certainly is broke. It takes money to litigate and ARA knows it. Perhaps DP should allow the people that have paid for games to negotiate directly with ARA for release of the games that are already manufactured. That would go a long way towards reversing the ill will that DP's poor business practices has created.
I saw red flags watching these guys at the convention, but I wanted a TBL so bad that I let it cloud my judgement. Fortunately, I only have a $4,500 deposit at risk.
