No refunds for 15,000 Australian ticket holders after Candace Owens’ tour cancelled
Honestly, I really am sick of all these fucking people, but I still want to be able to laugh at their misfortunes; I’ve been greatly enjoying the recent collapse of Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire empire, and now I’m equally pleased to see his erstwhile employee and Hitler apologist get caught short…
None of the 15,000 ticket holders for conservative influencer Candace Owens’ cancelled Australian tour are expected to get their money back from the promoter, after it spent all its money then collapsed.
Owens herself says she is hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket and claims she was misled by the promoter, Rocksman, a company with links to the influential conservative lobby group Turning Point Australia.
Rocksman collapsed with just 21 Australian cents in its bank account and will never refund Owens, her Australian ticket holders or other creditors, according to its liquidator’s statutory report to creditors, filed with Asic and dated 3 March.
Oh FUCK, TURNING POINT (indirectly) fucked with Candace again! That just makes the whole thing even better!
Owens claims to be among those owed money: her spokesperson said Rocksman had promised to cover the costs of challenging her visa refusal at the high court.
“Candace’s team ended up paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal bills, as well as providing numerous loans to Rocksman to make refunds [before] it became apparent that their assurances were meaningless,” the spokesperson said.
Owens’ spokesperson said she only learned of the company’s liquidation through the Guardian’s reporting in January.
“Right up until the last day, they were still promising us that refunds were just around the corner,” Owens’ spokesperson alleged.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This is one of the clowns at fault, being Damien Costas (who is six years my junior but somehow already looked older than me five years ago), characterised in the article I got this from as the “Sydney porn king”; he was the local publisher of Penthouse, but back in his native South Australia he’d been a Liberal staffer, and somehow I am not as surprised to find Penthouse was published here by a South Australian Liberal employee as I wish I was. This debacle with Rocksman is not his first bankruptcy rodeo, as he’s got two major fuck-ups to his credit already, and by the look of it the main lesson him and his partner Joel Jammal (the guy who founded the local Turning Point chapter) have learned from this one was to spend all the money before they were forced to return (as they had to when their tour of Don Jr. fell apart). I think that may prove to have been silly of them. No sympathy for anyone involved, and that includes all the chuds who bought the tickets. As for Candace herself, eh, she’ll be fine; she just needs to make a couple of videos accusing Erika Kirk of something, and the Youtube revenue will soon make up the shortfall…
