@jomc Oh, Maynard! Some friends of mine used to live there and had a nice little house. One of them worked at a succession of game studios in the Mill complex that DEC used to be in, it was kind of a neat place to explore.

@jomc @jplebreton and massive fraud! Someone I know went to work for him, was told that the company sold his house for him when he moved to go work at the studio, when he was fired was told "oops we didn't sell it, btw you are on the hook for the mortgage plus the mortgage at the house you moved into to work for us"

It was bad

@darius @jomc yep! my friends were similarly screwed over. it's way worse than any other studio implosion i've heard about.

@darius @jplebreton jeez... and maynard isn't *that close* to boston. they would have been somewhat isolated out there—which i guess put a lot of people in a vulnerable place to move to RI.

@darius YEP, that was one of the studios she worked for... not every studio closure prompts a state government investigation!
