Adventure Sports and The 1 Armed Bandit

Well Adam Ambroziak has been busted for depositing cash from the business into a personal account to escape declaring it as income and has now had 7 million in assets seized as a result of charges laid by the federal police along with unlicended firearms and a silencer as well.

Can anyone answer the question if his doors are shut, i'm guessing they are which is shit as i have $250 bucks worth of vouchers to spend there but has no doubt put a few fishing and sporting clubs in a pickle with any sponsership he was/is giving so can anyone fill us in if the stores are still in operation?

This is twice now a local tackle store has unexpectantly shut on me while i've been in posession of gift vouchers for them.

I won't get into a shit slinging match about his behaviour but they don't call him the 1 armed bandit for nothing, has had issues before with the law and it seems he could be in for a world of hurt now. bets on how long it takes BCF to move in? they have been trying to buy him out for a while but he asked way too much...

 not good at all.i bet your not the only one that will miss out, bet there are people out there that have good gear on order and already paid some cash. 

sounds like BCF might get in there real cheap now as the money will be needed.

it comes down to greed, people dont like paying too much tax so cash goes straight in the pocket instead of the legal way. there would be plenty of other owner operator businesses out there that do the same but not greedy enough to take too much.

Does anyone know if there is actually a final closing day at the moment, or will this have to wait for a trail.

I've got (should have) a rod there from warranty. Don't really want to have a big hassle to get it.

I dont know

But I suspect that it was shut for awhile so that the FPolice could check it out. I dont think anyone has the power to shut it before a trial if thats whats needed.

We are all still innocent until proven guilty, and proceeds from Crime cant be confiscated until you are guilty.

Just using deduction unless Adam shuts it himself it will remain open until a court case. But I am no legal expert.

I would hate a BCF. At least you can get some help there with at least one or 2 people in the know.

I lived there for a number of years (before the mines and flouro shirt brigade went crazy), and gave up shopping there. I tried to support a local business, but the lead-in times to anything they didnt have were ridiculous, and I found that dealing with Discount Camping (South Aust), Bransfords Tackle (QLD), and above all, Adreno (QLD) were all much better experiences as far as customer service was concerned, and things would arrive within a couple of days..... i would buy from Adventure sports when I had to, for anything required immediately, but that was it (which is very unfortunate - but I did try, and they did fail - many times...).  Hopefully the Police get it right and throw the full force of the law at him - if that is what has happened...
