Its a known fact that if you write a check knowing that you do not have the funds...and if the check exceeds $500.....you can go to jail if the person who you wrote the check to follows through.
A check for $5000 !!!.....The state will hammer that person if you report it. I have reported someone before...but they paid up real quick after they know what was about to happen.

They probably shoot you in TX for this, that state is just crazy

Only a matter of time before the biggest baby chimed in. I can only image how your fellow officers perceive you. 
Again... I wish the best for all parties. I DO NOT support any wrong doing from any vendors/shops. IE; I stay away from JT/Overdrive for the lack of attention given to my car before he left. I have had more problems since the fuel system was added than ever before. Just like you all stay away from Mark/SGP. However, since I'm not nut-hugging him I'm the bad guy. Whatever... I love the Z community and I try to help those that need it. I'm not perfect and make spelling mistake. Oh my!!! lol This new bread of "tuner enthusiast" are killing this sport I've grown to love.
Good luck to everyone with getting everything resolved.

Mark Gust is a complete a$$hole fraudulent POS that deserves jail time. If you disagree than you are completely ignorant or have complications understanding fair business practices. He has stolen product from more than 10 people on here in the realm of $50K or more, destroyed peoples cars, delayed peoples builds, habitually lied to all of us, and now he's going to try and pull a stunt and bankrupt an old business in order to bail on everybody he owes (vendors, customers, and employees). If you're trying to tell us that being upset about this is whining than go be tough somewhere else.
I ponied up and paid a retainer today for my attorney to take a look at options. I'm tired of all this bullshish and I had decided to write it off and just let it go until I found he was starting a new business. I will seek any legal capability within my rights to cost him as much money as possible until I receive settlement for my transmission's value, stress, and a broken car for 1 year. Thankfully I sent my transmission to Mark Gust and not SGP so I will be pressing charges for theft as well. I wouldn't post this if I didn't know that there is no way for him to buckle out of what I'm doing cause I know he is getting wind of what's going on here. At one point I told I'd drop it all if he'd send me a set of open dumps in return as there was no way I'd drop his crap transmission in my car anyway at this point and the idiot cannot even do that.
Not only that but I urge all of you to make every internet board, import event, and friend you know aware of SGP and Ashita and Mark Gust. People like this do not deserve a chance in this industry and if you're not doing anything about it it's not fair to the scene. Thank goodness there are 46K views of this thread. I hope there are soon over 100K.
BTW... I have been involved in companies that have gone bankrupt. We will all have a chance to state our opinions in court when he attempts to bankrupt SGP. He may have already started and neglected to inform of all debts which will make it tough for us but even more impact legally for him when we strike. There is a chance the bankruptcy can fail and default to him which is now my ultimate goal with Mark.

I had a bad experince with him while he worked at SGP. I'm just stating how I fell about them. Maybe I'll go post it in the Tx Good/Bad shop thread than. 
Friday night out at an English pub with my girlfriend FTW!
Hope all my buddies here and the fellow members who got f*cked by Mark have a fun and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend.

I think anyone who reads this thread will dismiss anything he says about you as more of the same.

This is a direct quote from the cnbc article. I have only high lighted things.
About Gust Engineering & Speed Production, Inc.
GSTG focuses on developing and delivering high quality aftermarket tuning parts for JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) vehicles in all forms, Motor Sports as well as Street Tuning phases. GSTG owns over 200 designs for products already brought to market. Our business strategy focuses primarily on the wholesale and retail distribution of these parts as well as leading in the development and manufacture of our own line of products. By promoting opportunities for strategic business relationships between our existing suppliers and business affiliates, GSTG utilizes a centralized location for storage and shipment of parts both locally and globally. By targeting the Japanese Automotive Enthusiast, GSTG will be the first to have ready-to-ship crate motors, built and packaged for immediate delivery to distributors, shops and consumers. The Company will constantly pursue and evaluate new technologies that are consistent with the Company's business model.

All the high lighted statements are laughable!!!!!! Considering how Mark ran SGP and how the shop looked and operated, I can't see how you can claim GSTG "focuses on developing and delivering high quality aftermarket tuning parts".
The last statement is EPIC! ACTUAL RESULTS MAY VARY.... That is a fuc kin understatement if I've ever heard one.I'm gonna interpret this last statement for those that don't know or just don't understand. "the Company's ability to meet the terms and conditions required to obtain its project financing (as in bouncing checks to employees, stealing from customers and dodging vendors), risks and delays associated with product development (meaning Mark is gonna be sick and can't work on anything and doesn't have any employees. This could also mean that he can't get any more parts cause he owes vendors money), risk of market acceptance of new products (also known as; consumers not accepting broken shiet or half *** work), risk of technology or product obsolescence (translation: your car is gonna be obsolete by the time Mark gets it back to you), competitive risks, reliance on development partners and the need for additional capital (in other words, he needs to defraud a new set of customers, employees and investors/partners)."

this is truly a joke.... i cant wait to see this **** go down.... the funny thing is that by being public company, you jsut have to purchase 1 share and you can see their book. I expect to see lots of fail there...
I am going to go on stockhouse and other financial forums and call them out for insider trading etc...what ever gets the SEC looking over.
