Once those criminal elements are removed, it will be a different company. New people can be added to make new Epik make money and pay old Epik's debt. Whoever built Epik, can come back and fix it.
Those are mutually exclusive conditions. You can't have it both ways.
Do you want NEW NON-criminal elements added OR do you want "whoever built Epik" to come back and fix it??? Rob founded/built Epik and as the head of Epik he is ultimately primarily responsible for most of the failures of the company (both financially & legally).
Finance Epik as registrar+marketplace by making a deal with some investors. For example they would pay the money owed to masterbucks victims. In return they would get their money back from new Epik's profit.
If you are talking about NEW investors (your statement is unclear)...
Why in the world would ANY investor CHOOSE to invest in a company where they have to assume liabilities (paying back people is NOT an actual investment, since you will NOT turn a profit on that money) PLUS invest (fund) the revived company in a hypercompetitive and relatively low margin business PLUS deal with the negative prior history of said company. That is NOT a financially prudent investment strategy (the first part will negate any "profit" the latter business MAY or may not make for YEARS).
If an investor thinks a domain registrar is a good, LONG term investment, they would just invest in a registrar that is a "going concern" or a "place holder" registrar (already formed, but not doing business yet), instead of assuming the liabilities of an Epikily failed one.
If you are talking about EXISTING investors (your statement is unclear)...
Remember IF a company goes bankrupt, the investors in the company typically lose their entire investment with NO ability to recover any of it. If the company is NOT bankrupt, then there is no need for the investors to pay the company's liabilities in the first place. That being said....
You just asked for the "criminal elements" to be removed, but now you want the investors to get their money back from future Epik profit. How many Epik INVESTORS have you heard PUBLICLY warning people about the predatory business practices Epik has been doing for MONTHS and potentially for a year or more (none, yet)??? How many Epik Investors forced Epik to fix the terrible security flaws that allowed Epik to get hacked some time back (obviously none, since the hack happened)??? How many Epik Investors publicly told the truth in the early days of the Epik hack discovery, that YES we were hacked and almost everything was stolen, instead of nothing to see here...fake news, move on (like Rob was saying).
Even if the above is arbitrarily excluded, If ANY of those investor's have been receiving ANY compensation from Epik in the recent past, they are opening themselves up to financial and potentially criminal liability too. Why should investors that ONLY cared about THEIR financial situation and were/are willing to overlook predatory / illegal business practices that benefitted them be allowed to have ANY part in any "future version" of Epik???
