Cash Obligations Cause Closure
The mobile and online casino gambling industry is not always roses – sometimes a
company can be on the top and doing well for the most part, but a tiny thread of
the puzzle will slip through the cracks and that is enough to force companies
into closure. The latest closure news centers on the fact that the
Canadian-based Phantom Fiber gambling company has completely shut down – no more
employees, no more operations – the doors have closed. There were small
indications over the past several months that Phantom was in a bit of a serious
situation. The company’s weekly reports were coming in week and CEO Jeff
Halloran did not hide the fact that the wireless mobile technology developer and
provider was running low on cash funds.
The closure notice was released to the whole of the mobile and online casino
gambling industry at the end of November. According to the information released
as an explanation for the immediate closure, Phantom Fiber was unable to make
installment payments to pay off debts. The company was behind on payments and
was unable to find investments or loans as a way to pay off the regularly
payment installation. With that, the company threw in the towel and called it a
day.
All of the company’s employees have been terminated – never a good thing
considering the state of the current economy. Many analysts speculated that the
online casinos and gambling sites were untouchable by a failing economy…everyone
still wants to gamble when there luck is down right? As the recent closures
indicate, the mobile industry, as well as the internet gambling companies, are
not untouchable. |
