  • Look you shouldn't have a problem with the company who bought Lewis, @VeloxMedia shouldn't receive the hate for terminating purchases for deals that are unsustainable.

    I see companies doing that all the time, please don't frame the new company into this unless it are the same owners.

    You're in the running and appreciate the deal! Lets see who else shows up. AMAZINGDEAL is the one to beat right now.

  • I will set up a gofundme to get @VeloxMedia unbanned, because they didn't violate LET rules, this public nameshaming and attacks are unjustified from LET members.

    Please direct your hate to Lewis.

    Good luck! Staff have made a decision already, which your favorite provider threatened in the same way as us, don't forget.
    Also, take a look on entire Velox thread, might help you taking conclusions.

    Well - they were not his customers to cancel. The whole deal was structured weird, and that’s on both parties.

    The issue with the new owner was more his arrogant approach to GDPR and general unprofessional behaviour.

    If that’s the type of host you want to back then please go ahead…

    Have you taken a look at their ToS and the offer details?
    Do they reserve the right to end it?
    What does local law state?

    Otherwise, I am unsure why they call for customers to do a chargeback, they have to provide that and its cheaper for them.

    The new owner was adamant that the customers remained with Lewis and were not part of the deal. The new owner therefore has no right to terminate them as he has no contractual relation with them. Lewis might have that right, but he hasn’t done so - termination came form the new owner, so by definition unlawful termination.

    you have to read the thread, honestly, its entertainment. Claiming that he didnt take over then admitting to it multiple times (although not here, but on Discord and in the email to LET) and just flip flopping around the place. Get some popcorn

    1. The new owner came and said Lewis is gone with money and contract
    2. Later, Eric disclosed how he got ridiculed by his colleagues for not giving Lewis customer the boot.
    3. He wanted to save the brand, including its customer
    4. No novation or new contract signed by the new owner and the customers
    5. 100+ pages discussions happened centered around this, the abnormalities of the transfer, and regulation compliance
    6. The previously held status quo, "Chargeback Lewis and we will terminate your service" become "We will terminate all LET deals unless you pay $4/month *"

    PS:

    • Eric's side does not give the option for refund;
    • Despite he has partial or full control of Lewis's merchant account and able to mark all the chargeback attempt as fraud

    *if the customer signed the new agreement (added on 10th Jan). Idk, I only found this

    There were multiple procedural issues with the approach taken that will cause them legal trouble.

    Your question about local law is interesting, but the customer contracts that were broken were made according to UK law. Eric has made multiple statements to the effect that he doesn't consider that UK law applies to him. So, that'll be interesting.

    Enjoy

    Too much to read it. TLDR requested

    Lewis sold the company to Eric after selling a bunch of unsustainable triennial deals. Eric proceeded to piss off the community by saying he doesn't consider Lewis' customers to be his customers and doesn't care about the GDPR. After some fighting and bickering for 100+ pages, he started threatening customers then began terminating people's VPSes without refund, offering an extortion fee to delay the deletion. All LET deals are going to be deleted within a week.

    He also tried threatening @DP with legal action if he didn't give him his provider tag back and if LET didn't create a prominent notice banner saying that LET officially supports VeloxMedia and officially recommends them.

    Then he got banned.

    Lewis exit scammed everyone!

    From Eric's words, isn't it? Lewis just sold company to someone else, his didn't tell anything to clients, that's bad, but we don't know a reason of this decision. Maybe he is a scammer, maybe not, I don't know. But service quality, while Lewis managed that, was really great. Anyway now we have what we have. 😢

    Lewis sold the ‘business’ without securing provision of services to his customers for the remainder of their contracts (or refunding them). Clearly a scam - and he’s responsible for that.

    How it possible to guarantee clients that new owner didn't close their accounts? I suppose it could be part of selling contract, but we don't know is the deal paper didn't include it. As I understand the legal wasn't the powerful side of Lewis.

    I know, maybe I sounds like lawyer of evil, but I know the man, who's behavior is 1 on 1 like Lewis, and he is really good guy, he not a scammer and in the end all the time he pays. I working with him more than 5 years, already.

    Second my argument is the BF deals was less than 1 month ago of sold, when charge back window is 90 days, you could get your money back in this or next month. Yes it takes a time, but you have a big chance to get your money back. Actually many clients already do that and get their money back. That's not how scam works. Only clients whose buy it on "the August deals party has got scammed", could you say, but they got a good service for last 4-5 months and after my bank charge back rules reading, I have not 0 chance to get my money back, because if I was pay for the loong-term service, the rule of 90 days could be excepted, but it up to bank decision.

    About "unsustainable" deals, wery often provider could buy a used server as is, with one cpu 40 cores and 700+ gb of ram, and in this case you have a lot of ram, but cpu is very limited, you could oversold cpu, like DeluxeHost, or you could sell only 3 core with lots of ram. I saw listings of selling hardware like this and if Lewis pays only for colocation of the hardware I believe the numbers could be be sustained and it could be a good case for makes your brand recognizable.

    Second possible case is sometimes companies buys hardware for the project and the project is closing by some reasons and they're have two ways sell the hardware as used or make a hoster and try to sell it.

    This is only my opinion, nothing else. In the reality we have what we have.

    What did you do with him?
    Wasn't the service always rented? Or how would he come and go and spend thousands for hardware every time thinks, oh i need some cash for living?

    I have no answers for your questions, I described, how I justified the price of this offer to myself.

    Then whats behind this 5 years, are you under the same carpet?

    Enjoy

    Too much to read it. TLDR requested

    Lewis sold the company to Eric after selling a bunch of unsustainable triennial deals. Eric proceeded to piss off the community by saying he doesn't consider Lewis' customers to be his customers and doesn't care about the GDPR. After some fighting and bickering for 100+ pages, he started threatening customers then began terminating people's VPSes without refund, offering an extortion fee to delay the deletion. All LET deals are going to be deleted within a week.

    He also tried threatening @DP with legal action if he didn't give him his provider tag back and if LET didn't create a prominent notice banner saying that LET officially supports VeloxMedia and officially recommends them.

    Then he got banned.

    Lewis exit scammed everyone!

    From Eric's words, isn't it? Lewis just sold company to someone else, his didn't tell anything to clients, that's bad, but we don't know a reason of this decision. Maybe he is a scammer, maybe not, I don't know. But service quality, while Lewis managed that, was really great. Anyway now we have what we have. 😢

    Lewis sold the ‘business’ without securing provision of services to his customers for the remainder of their contracts (or refunding them). Clearly a scam - and he’s responsible for that.

    How it possible to guarantee clients that new owner didn't close their accounts? I suppose it could be part of selling contract, but we don't know is the deal paper didn't include it. As I understand the legal wasn't the powerful side of Lewis.

    I know, maybe I sounds like lawyer of evil, but I know the man, who's behavior is 1 on 1 like Lewis, and he is really good guy, he not a scammer and in the end all the time he pays. I working with him more than 5 years, already.

    Second my argument is the BF deals was less than 1 month ago of sold, when charge back window is 90 days, you could get your money back in this or next month. Yes it takes a time, but you have a big chance to get your money back. Actually many clients already do that and get their money back. That's not how scam works. Only clients whose buy it on "the August deals party has got scammed", could you say, but they got a good service for last 4-5 months and after my bank charge back rules reading, I have not 0 chance to get my money back, because if I was pay for the loong-term service, the rule of 90 days could be excepted, but it up to bank decision.

    About "unsustainable" deals, wery often provider could buy a used server as is, with one cpu 40 cores and 700+ gb of ram, and in this case you have a lot of ram, but cpu is very limited, you could oversold cpu, like DeluxeHost, or you could sell only 3 core with lots of ram. I saw listings of selling hardware like this and if Lewis pays only for colocation of the hardware I believe the numbers could be be sustained and it could be a good case for makes your brand recognizable.

    Second possible case is sometimes companies buys hardware for the project and the project is closing by some reasons and they're have two ways sell the hardware as used or make a hoster and try to sell it.

    This is only my opinion, nothing else. In the reality we have what we have.

    What did you do with him?
    Wasn't the service always rented? Or how would he come and go and spend thousands for hardware every time thinks, oh i need some cash for living?

    I have no answers for your questions, I described, how I justified the price of this offer to myself.

    Then whats behind this 5 years, are you under the same carpet?

    Sorry man, but that's not your business whom, where and how. You could read it as some random guy in the internet share some story without a proof.

    ... but are there llamas?

    No. It does not cost anything. By that logic this thread could stay open as an announcement for 10 years.

    My reasons for closing:

    1. 12 days since the New Year. Winter holidays are over. People started working again. At this point providers can open threads of their own.
    2. We need a different kind of megathread now: provider poll of 2025.
