ComJoT / Joe Humberger Feedback: Bankruptcy and Unfulfilled Orders

[RFI-EMI-GUY]

I understand all of that. But we are looking at the person as a whole, and by now the overall picture is already quite clear and consistent.

And when a defendant simply fails to appear in court, that is also a bad sign. Let’s say your business failed and you simply could not meet your obligations. You can still show up, demonstrate some respect, explain the situation, and at least try to mitigate the consequences.

But no. They do not even do that.

I don't see what they could mitigate. They signed a crappy contract. Maybe there was an illness and the cash flow dried up. Who am I to judge. They will have to write a check for money they owed or the creditor will swoop in and have the sheriff take the assets of the LLC and personally. If they are sitting on $59K in the bank they can move on. If not in worst case it could cost them their home, though even if sold out from under them, they retain the excess. That is not a tremendous amount of debt. I am not sure how much respect I would give any of the 100's of lenders and "family offices" who flood my in box looking to profit from my apparent good fortune. When has a bank ever said, ohh you are short this month, don't worry send what you can?

'I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a Humberger today'​

 

[Cameron314]

Sure did.

In my experience, with other dealers (for other brands), no one submits orders to the manufacturer (L3Harris, Kenwood, Motorola, Tait) without pre-paying.

Umm, yes they sure do. I would not be prepaying for something like that.

But he did visit this morning...

Dohhhhhh!

 

[prcguy]

Joe's callsign is N4KYS and you can get his address fairly easily. Why not pay Joe a personal visit to sit down and discuss repayment of things?

Chapter 11 is a re-org and the assets are greater than the liabilities. Not sure how this goes for unsecured creditors. But if he owes you money or product, put in a claim.

How to file such claim? Can it be done online?

There should be public announcements. Read the court documents. Creditors are given a chance to make claims.

I'm not an American. I'm Norwegian, so I don't know how to follow the court documents. I know how to file it here in Norway, but how to do it in the states I'd need help.

The bankruptcy case was posted somewhere up the thread above. There will be a jurisdiction, usually a state/county where the bankruptcy was filed. There will be a judge and location of the case. If you can search the clerk of court website for the location/county you might find what you need in the docket. Every state is different. In Florida , a so called sunshine state, I can find a person or firms criminal and civil cases and much of the docket and documents.

I know there’s a lawsuit going on involving the CJ-1, but for anyone who already owns one, I’ve been working on an independent app for the radio called Link’d DMR.

The public beta is now available, and we’ve got the CJ-1 working with Enhanced Privacy (ARC4-40) interoperability compatible with Motorola Enhanced Privacy, along with DMR/analog RF, channel management, physical PTT, caller ID, and cellular PTT.

Still actively developing and testing it, but it’s finally at the point where other CJ-1 owners can try it out.

In the US, the filing is supposed to contain a list of all creditors, who are then sent notice of the filing and instructions on filing a claim. I don't know what the timeframes are. If you don't get anything via mail in a week or two, you could get in touch with the court-appointed trustee, who runs the case on behalf of the government: ComJoT_LLC__laebke-26-11769__0007.0.pdf , who can tell you how to proceed.

He got me, too. Ordered a TP9900 in November 2025, he said it was coming in around Feb., then he’d go dark, excuse after excuse… like getting hit by a car and being sick with something all the time. Finally said it came in and then disappeared for weeks. More excuses. Asked for a refund, got a shipping notice about 10 mins later. Then another 10 minutes and got something saying that my order that was shipping that day was cancelled. He knew full and well that I cancelled because it took so long.. he could have said it was actually shipping but I know that whole “act” was BS. He said a refund would come in 7-14 days and we are 32 days out and Amex said nothing so I just filed fraud. But, it’s good that scam/fraud is the first thing that comes up now for Joe or ComJoT on google

Did you get your money back from Amex via chargeback? Unfortunately, I didn't use a credit card, so the only way I'll get my money back is through the court trustee if my claim gets paid.
I need to look into how I can report this as consumer fraud or theft. I'd love to see him face criminal charges for his scams. Not sure if the best avenue would be local police, state attorney general's consumer office, or FTC or FBI since it did occur across state lines.

From what I’ve heard, AMEX provides excellent protection in situations like this and is actually recommended for paying for services from questionable merchants.

This guy is a classic narcistic sociopath. The pathological lying, he is always the victim of his tragedies, and the hero of his own movie at the same time. Nothing is ever his fault. Everyone is out to get him. He's right up there with Jeremy DeWitte and other con artists, except he doesn't use fake cop lights and badges, but instead vaporware.

DeWitte is now in club Fed after decades o fraud, popped by the tax man. Maybe that is what will become of old crooked Joe.

They sure are, but remember time is of the essence under Federal law with filing disputes. The con artists and fraudsters know this and which is why they continue with delay delay delay tactics so those deadlines are past and as Steve Miller says go on, take the money and run!

Yes I did. And I’d like to see him face SOMETHING over all of this. It was across state lines for me. I found this thread too late.
