This question is for the higher ups of import-anime. Now hat F/x won't be shipping for a while will you guys stock anime from another company to fill in the gap? Also how did F/x get caught? Did someone rat them out?
It's all about the love

It was a surprise raid called Operation Needle or something like that. Hong Kong customs busted in and arrested four people but the ring leader got away. That's all the info most probally have...

I don't understand how you know fx got caught but nothing else. Go back and reread the thread in its entirety and read the arcticnightfall link.

Dumb things that have developed since the supposed bust of FX:
-people are already saying that 'FX is gone' and that things will never be the same.
-the FX news threads deteroriate into retarded/boring/redundant HK vs. R1 rants.
-everyone expects there to be a flood of 'insider info' that will explain everything.
sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but I wouldn't expect ANY inside info regarding FX. FX has always been shrouded in mystery. Only a select few have regular contact with the infamous 'florachan' and the most any one of these 'insiders' has posted is "FX is not currently shipping out any orders...We will do our best to get in stock their AV, MI and MAC equivalents in the meantime." and "FX is fine".
We shouldn't expect a 'Q&A session' as one of them posted.
Everyone just needs to calm the heck down and be patient. If it is 6 months from now and no one has seen or heard from FX, then it is reasonable to say 'FX is gone', but not after a week.

Chinese New Year is Feb 9, but I read that many people celebrate it as many as 3 weeks before it actually happens... So, just be patient.

He's probably deciding whether he wants to take the money he has and run or risk setting up another packaging plant...
If I was Flora and this happened i'd quit, but who knows what will happen.

If Flora keeps doing this very long i'm sure he'll be caught... and i'm sure he knows that. I'd be surprised of Flora returned - at least as big as they were. Never know though.
