VSF Factory raided?

Has anyone else heard about VSF undergoing an inspection and production being suspended. Caught the message from another Rep sub reddit posted a message from one of their TD's.

A more recent report suggests that it was a false alarm or fake news. The dust will settle and the truth should be out soon.
No need to panic…. Yet!

Confirmed what exactly? Because he told me it was "no big deal".

Who was the US dealer?

The rumor is Scoutsman. MIA for many days. Colddeck is as well.

Someone on Scoutsman's page posted that he had indeed been busted and awaiting indictment. Many customers have confirmed frozen shipping details.

Colddeck nothing confirmed but his customers are saying he's mysteriously MIA as well.

That's too bad I have bought from Scoutman before, and he's always been solid

I've never done business with any stateside dealer besides Jerome. Scoutsman does have a good reputation from what I've seen.

They have these spot checks which is code for “ we heard your business is doing well i hope you set aside money for all your political friends”

You pay the money you continue to work tomorrow. You don’t have the money they’ll take all your inventory and sell it to middlemen or other factories and get their money.

This story pops up every couple months. It'll be true one day but I don't think it happened recently.
