[QUOTE="calcol, post: 2441502, member: 77639"]Although there has been quite a bit of discussion about how much should be paid, the fundamental issue is no payment at all was offered.

SEGS may be on strong legal ground regarding the LLC not having to assume any liabilities, policies, etc. of the corporation.
