People do make mistakes, and sometimes things happen especially with live animals (talking about shipping here) the rest is a whole other story and the thing is there are 2 different types of people.
1# The honest ones that will treat their customers in a professional manner and make it right.
2# Those that lie through their teeth with no intention to make it right.
Now the thing is those falling in category #2 still would have a chance at a come back IF they truly changed, took responsibility for their past actions, made it right with the people that were done wrong etc
I don't see this here what see here is someone making a comeback hiding his identity (which people will eventually question), lying about the fact that his was a co-owner of the company (not a employee), making excuses about the past blaming everyone else etc
Now I am sorry but it's hard for me to trust or give someone a second chance when they have not changed.
Now would he have taken care of business making it right to people (and in SO MANY YEARS he had plenty if time), than joined this forum introducing himself being honest about his past and made a sincere apology it would have been different.
