1999 - Start security business part time with 2 friends 1 of which is a webmaster.
2001 - Finding it hard to get high enough rankings on Google and other search engines to get enough sales.
2003 - Business is finally picking up.
2004 - Start using a borrowed paypal account for customer convenience. Paypal guarantees that its service is
safe according to partner. Amazon.com is also considered as a business avenue
2005 - Amazon.com thinks a stungun is a real gun and makes it impossible to do business. Pepperspray is
apparently a lethal weapon too and outlawed on Amazon though we notice many other people selling them just
fine.
2006 - Sales are picking up but one person who orders pays through paypal, makes a fraud claim. Partner number 2
takes his assets and leaves us with considerable debt. Paypal investigation sides with the customer. Customer gets
money back and our order. What a clever person.
Late 2006 - Cannot pay interest or fraud claims. Business is over. Bank Accounts are closed. Amazon account is
closed. Paypal account is closed.
2007 - Bankruptcy filings and a new begining.
