Quoted from RobT:The Pinball News articled summed it up nicely:
"How Deeproot Pinball could be financially viable was always puzzling. With huge on-going expenses, no product shipped, and little interest in their first title, the flow of money always seemed to be going one way with little prospect of turning the finances around in the short-to-medium term.
Robert had previously claimed that he was funding Deeproot Pinball with his own money. If the SEC’s claims are to be believed, he had a pretty relaxed attitude to what money was “his” to spend."
So did John Popaduik. John was out buying a new van and Range Rover with the Zidware money, I told him the money was not his til after he delivered the purchased games and what was left was his money. He disagreed, In my opinion Popaduik should be sharing a cell with Robert Mueller.
