DM was ready to throw in the towel before his father passed away. Both Carl and WM knew and stated DM was not interested in the business. DM only invited AS to dinner because he was interested in finding out what the business was worth. We've been over and around this oodles of times. AS explained no one was interested in finalizing contracts until they could tour the facility which DM refused to clean up.
Regardless of whether DM was interested in aviation he STILL helped his father when needed. You provide your links to where it says DM only invited AS to dinner to find out what the business was worth....TIA
It comes down to the credibility of AS who failed as an employee and also came forward as a disgruntled and mean, IMO, man who was jealous of DM and who wanted something for nothing IMO. The hangar has been shown to be quite tidy and its only the word of this individual which imo has no credibility due to his failure as a contract bringer (which is apparently what he was paid to do) and the fact that he makes derogatory comments about someone he obviously barely knew...JMO
DM was more than willing to walk away so why would he care about talking business with AS; He was only interested in finding out how much the business was worth, which AS told him.To dismantle the business before things really got underway and plans came to fruition could mean getting back just 20 cents for every dollar invested. Too bad AS wasted his time and efforts on DM, someone who didn't give a hoot, just wanted to have the big garage to carry on illegal business in.
DM ONLY decided to dismantle the business when the business was his....and after AS failed to bring the contracts that WM was hoping he would... I believe he respected his father enough to stand by him and to support him.
There is absolutely no proof that DM was the one behind any alleged chop shop, which as yet is still unproven. If AS wasted any time it was in slacking on the work front and failing to bring in the contracts that he obviously did not bring in...JMO
There was no lack of contracts; in fact a video I posted a few times stated there were huge contracts in WM's hand. DM just did not want to cooperate and clean up his playroom. Seems like he had many temper tantrums over this issue IMO.
Anyone can claim to have contracts....especially if being paid to bring them.... fact is, the hangar was in good shape and looks spotless to all who viewed the photographs and will admit it. imo. Where is the proof of even ONE temper tantrum by Dellen. ??? Now AS that is another matter... imo
When did DM step in when needed to do so? Throwing in the towel?! I guess you could call that stepping in seeming logical to someone who didn't care about the business. Why waste any more of his inheritance?!
I made it clear DM stepped in to deal with AS... People often honour parents wishes, especially when they know the parent has dreams... nothing new here. Dellen obviously had access to enough money to take nice vacations, buy friends gifts etc...so why would he be wanting more.... seems like a nice humble guy to me...judging by what I have read MOO
The fact that WM said it was Dellen Project was because WM was hoping his son would finally grow up and become a man and run the business like it was meant to be run instead of some tinker toy room.
Yes 'hoping' ....that Dellen would want to run the aviation business, nothing wrong with that. Why should DM or anyone else for that matter have to follow in fathers footsteps.... maybe Dellen saw how his dad had did that and not pursued his own dreams..... jmo ...
DM came from money and he knew it and took full advantage of it by not going out and getting a real job. One which may have included his post education interests. Instead he decided to remain on Millardair's payroll and live the good life riding dad's coat tails. When things got really tight with dad's money because dad invested it all in the new hangar, less for DM, DM thought he would start his own business with a buddy chop shopping, drugs and maybe an escort service on the side. ALL JMHO. And time will tell the facts. HTH.
How do you know he took advantage of anything ??? How do you know what he did or didnt do for his father or the business? The claimed 'escort business' of which there is absolutely no proof is 'claimed' to have been during the time WM was alive.... how do you explain that?
He was just a spoilt little brat who had his way all his life and didn’t appreciate what his father was doing for him.” “He was an impediment to the hangar operation” who didn’t meet his deadlines, almost never arrived at work before noon, and refused to clear his collection of cars, jeeps, hot rods, jet skis and personal airplanes from the business premises.
Spoilt brats do not usually appear humble and super friendly....believe me... (I have a very spoilt brat as a half sister and she is far from humble or friendly. )These words spouted about Dellen come from some guy who is obviously trying to save face after failing in his business capacity....imo
“I went over all of the contracts that were in negotiations and the potential for 2013.
Contracts in negotiation does NOT mean they were coming...merely that they were on the table (or merely in someones head).....along with a host of other potential companies after same contracts.....means nothing IMO, AS would have needed to show that he had the ability to seal the deals....which apparently he did not...
He told both Mr. Sharif and a former Millardair pilot that it was designed to be “Dellen’s project” and provide his 27-year-old son with a secure future.
He emphasized to Dellen, as he had to Wayne, that the real value of the business lay in its coveted Transport Canada operational certification, the high-quality team it had assembled, and the potential customers who, Mr. Sharif says, were lining up. To dismantle the business before things really got underway and plans came to fruition could mean getting back just 20 cents for every dollar invested.
Again the words of a 'short term' failed employee imo
If DM was willing to get 20 cents on the dollar I guess that throws the 'needs to get his hands on the business' .... ' not wanting to waste more of his inheritance'.... and spoilt brat who needs money to buy toys and run a chop shop...out of the window IMO
