looks like lipstick found his loophole not to have to pay back all his loans..
$50,000 in assets? wonder how big lipsticks paycheck was after that event to have only 50k left?
hopefully the bankruptcy judge will laugh in his face..

I also agree, 50k from that event, come on... I would have guessed more like 1 - 2 million... I mean wasn't there like 50,000 people there?

so I wonder what is going to happen to all the people that have lifetime memberships... do they just lose out? that kind of sucks for them

Well, Mr Double J ranch just proved he doesnt have to follow the rules we other people do. So tell me, if he filed chapter 11, how much on the dollar will the banks, and creditors get???? Talk about falling in a heap of poop and come out smelling like a rose, Hope the court system see threw this trick soon.

Don't be suprised if all existing certificates and gift cards are now declared null and void.

Oh I'm sure that lipstick will now file personal bankruptcy so the banks and court can't touch it. What a jerk.

I have been there a couple of times and it was alot of fun. What were they thinking with the water park thing tho? It's too far from anywhere and too close to Michigan Adventures who has a waterpark that way outrated Double JJ's. They never should have taken a loan for that, and the bank never should have approved a loan for that.

you should do an accurate report on the festival. There were actually 14 deaths and hundreds of arrest. Check with the security.

What the hell did they do with that $$= 250.00 per ticket with 50,000 tickets sold--that is 12.5 million dollars- I think they took the investors for quite a ride here...there is money hidden somewhere....no other explanation~
