is there any truth to this at all? or is this 3 pages of speculating? maybe you should wait until someone can confirm otherwise it's pretty pointless

as is just about every thread on getbig. If pointless mattered this site wouldn't exist.

Maybe we should wait until it comes out in the magazines before we say anything. Would that make you feel better?

The word on the street is Muscletech has filed for bankruptcy.

I live for the day.

Muscletech just recently, last year or so, changed their name to Iovate and switched the MuscleTech name to a product line as opposed to a company name. As for Bankruptcy....bullshit. Trust me, "the word on the street" is wrong.

these suits go on forever, and they're at the point of payout time. Muscletech may still exist, but under a different name. They have to file bankruptcy and reestablish their company under a new corporation, or they'll have nothing left. That's how corporate lawsuits work. Also, they spend cash like it's a bad habit.

No offense, but if it's true they wouldn't tell anyone. Who knows either way, but this many lawsuits is a strong indicator of a company restructuring.

It's not strange: Metabolife did the same thing. It's how business works. I'm not saying they're going bankrupt, I'm just stating facts.

There was that huge Xenadrine add in Terminator 3, then 'BAM' 2-3 months later they file for chapter 11.

Sorry, but it's absolutely true. Muscletech has at least a dozen entities under the Iovate Health Sciences umbrella. Trust me "the word on the street" is right.

Just because they have filed for bankruptcy doesn't mean they are going down. However, it sure would remove an ugly stain from the supplement business.

Was Toronto Pro sponsored by Muscletech as well?

It was owed to him by the promoter Nimrod King
