Well guys,i messaged Mr.Adrian through his website. I asked him what he has done with the money he got from the members who paid the deposit for the stash book we are still waiting for! I actually got a reply this time. Here it is for you to see as he has not replied on this thread....
I used it to buy materials and pay for materials and to run the business when it was still up. Everything sort of went to **** last summer and I lost the shop and the business dissolved. I am working to make the money back and pay it back, at first I was still going to try to finish the books but I don't see myself being able to finish the orders. I've been trying to settle into new work/job but it hasn't been steady, and I'm still paying back other debt that's owed to credit companies/etc. so I haven't been able to set aside the money to pay everyone back. Only 1 person was refunded. I have every intention of paying it back, I didn't take the money with the intention of not completing the project, I'm sorry it's taking so long and the lack of communication. I just wanted to come back with the money instead of an excuse. It will be slow but the money will be paid back.
Make of this what you want. At least we know where we stand.
