Need proof!

Have no proof. Told by a lawyer. Maybe someone here can find more info. I couldn't but source is reliable.

I told them to drop Kamali..........the dude is bad luck.

I dunno, mate. Generally, a company this large doesn't get to the point of a bankruptcy filing without there having been some writing on the wall.

I don't see any way that MT's financial woes could've been kept secret from this crowd.

GetBig knows ALL.

That's what i thought. Overwhelmed with litigation i suppose.

This industry will be hurting if MuscleTech goes down. They seem to be one of the few companies willing to put out money into their athletes, a ton of ad revenue will be lost to the publications, not to mention title sponsorship of the Olympia – that’s some serious cash gone.

Nah if they where getting close to financial trouple the sighns would have been there, they would have pulled sponcership engagements at trade shows and bodybuilding shows, they wouldnt have launched a new product etc etc !!

I heard MuscleTech is 5,970,000 mores bankrupt than MetRx.

Slick Vic · « **Reply #14 on:** January 19, 2006, 01:05:19 PM »

If this in fact IS true would it surprise anyone with their OUTRAGEOUS price on their products?

I think their products suck, but they probably are in 100 million a year range - high margin at that. It just goes to show how the lawsuits are taking their toll.

tom joad · « **Reply #19 on:** January 19, 2006, 02:15:47 PM »

why the lawsuits? you mean cell-tech isn't 39 million times better than regular creatine?

Nope. It's a fact. Will start making the news in a week or so.

I don't know how much they paid for their Olympia ad in Times Square, but I'm willing to bet it was a huge waste of cash.

Sculpter · « **Reply #23 on:** January 19, 2006, 02:29:55 PM »

Maybe it is true.The newer products were maybe a way to create new revenue to keep their company in business.Have to wait & see I guess. I just know what's his name that posts here (McWay or McWhey or whatever it is) & likes MT prods will be in sale heaven w/their products if it is true.

Jr. Yates · « **Reply #24 on:** January 19, 2006, 02:30:26 PM »

didn't they just re-sign gustavo?
