Karin, I am sorry you have not yet received your earnings. We all deserve our money but if they cheat you, their most loyal supporter than that is totally beneath contempt.

I had stopped uploading to LO a long time ago and my remaining portfolio was small so I have nothing to regret and will not worry about the small money owed.

I understand your pain when it's likely you guys will not get paid for the money lost and time wasted.

However, have you ever thought, perhaps Bryan has lost a lot more than any of us? It's unfortunate that his business has failed. When a business is shut down like that, it is most likely because the company cannot meet its liabilities, including the liabitilies to you and the shareholders (owners). That's bad, but it happens.

Of course it's his fault that he couldn't make a go of his business. However, not everyone of us is the most successful photographer in this world. I had met him once. I was the one giving him a hard time and questioning him why my photos were not selling at LO but in other sites. Based on his response, I realized that he was not a cut-throat businessman type, perhaps that was also one of the reasons of his failure.

Sometimes perhaps while we grieve our losses, we don't have to be too harsh in judging others. Life goes on.

Looks like somebody on another forum got a payout today so maybe all is not lost quite yet.

Me too, I got my money yesterday but not all of it. I had requested 45$ on the day of the closure announcement, but until the actual closure of the site have accumulated around 20 $ more and not having been paid I asked them to add that amount to my existing pay out request but yesterday only received 45 $.

I requested my payout back on April 23rd.

As of today, June 3rd, nothing.

At this point, I don't expect to receive any money from them but I'll try sending one last email to see if I receive a response.

I had sent and email to them on May 21st checking on may payout but I did not get a response.

Default Update...Paid

I sent an email checking on my payout the yesterday and to my surprise, I received my payout this morning.

It showed kevin@luckyoliver.com as the payer.

I don't know if I got paid because I sent the email or if I was scheduled to be paid today but regardless, I'm just happy to get my funds.

Good luck to anyone else you still hasn't collected.

Joe
