Your choice of a network to roll with is a responsibility you cannot blame on the network if they stiff you. There have been hundreds of threads of "which network to use?". Even catching 1-2 of these threads would yield the same names coming up each time.
I feel for the OP in this case, and don't think he should be blamed. But for someone to be on here as a user and read the gossip and to go against Wf's recommendations is just a bad business call. Hopefully this lesson/thread will be seen by noobs everywhere.
Stick with the majors. If you want to try the minors, due diligence required, and start slow. Don't put the pedal to the metal and over extend if you don't have a history with the network.
I have a hunch the CEO of CPARev is rushing to the bank tomorrow to qualify for a line of credit, or quick business loan, to get this taken care of. Or cashing in on some savings bonds. In either case, the fact he posted is a good sign, his biz will take a huge hit for this, but it doesnt have to be a fatal one. Lessons learned across the board.
