Artesian Builds files for bankruptcy two months after Twitch giveaway scandal Twitch: Artesian BuildsA difficult two months of controversy has seen Artesian Builds go through a spectacular downfall. The final nail has now been slammed into the coffin of Noah Katz\u2019 business with the PC builders filing for bankruptcy. On March 1, PC builders and Twitch streaming company Artesian Builds received public backlash, after company CEO Noah Katz, roasted a small streamer \u2018Kiapiaa\u2019 and refused to give her a PC she had rightfully won in a giveaway. This led to the company being dropped by many of their sponsorship partners and unveiled a series of dodgy business practices within the company. Now, as of April 28, Artesian Builds has officially filed for bankruptcy, putting an end to the dealings of the company, and their alleged shonky services. As was revealed in an email sent out to the company\u2019s debtors. Artesian Builds have officially filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy pic.twitter.com\/Fiqdtsw3L2 \u2014 Dexerto (@Dexerto) April 27, 2022 With filing for bankruptcy, the company and its sole holder, Noah, are no longer held to be accountable for any outstanding debts that have been incurred during the company\u2019s existence. This is a substantial amount of money. In the bankruptcy filing, it came to light that Artesian owes $450,000 to two PC parts sellers, as well as having over $200,000 in credit card debt. Beyond this, there\u2019s an unknown amount of unpaid overtime and leftover holiday pay for employees, some of which had been there since inception. As well as $1.37 million in unfulfilled orders. Announcing a call to action for those who may be currently waiting on refunds or PCs that\u2019ll never arrive, forms have been sent as this is now \u201cthe only chance to be made whole,\u201d as streamers pointed out in the wake of this news. UHHH, okay, Artesian Builds bankruptcy docs just went out. If you got a computer, never got it and never got a refund, you need to pay attention to this. This will be the only chance to be made whole pic.twitter.com\/UXM1ImayMX \u2014 Ligerzero \u27a1\ufe0f St. Jude PLAY LIVE (@LigerzeroGaming) April 27, 2022 For those who aren\u2019t sure where they stand, a meeting on May 16 was also announced for anyone owed money or goods by the company to make themselves known as part of the bankruptcy proceedings. Summing up the feelings of many in the community around the speed with which Artesian collapsed, one user on Twitter aptly stated: \u201cCrazy how one bad move can kill your whole company.\u201d A solid reminder for anyone running questionable businesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
