The jury awarded over $2.4 million in damages and cancellation of debt against MacGyver Finance.

It will not rebuild the damages HHP has incurred - that will take time and money, but it is a start and now we can focus on growing again

The jury's award was bittersweet after having to let go of so many good employees at a really bad time.

And, the award will take time to actually impact HHP's liquidity. It will not immediately rebuild and repair the damages HHP has incurred - that will take time, but it is a start and now we can focus on getting back to work

One of the claims made by HHP in the suit was against Defendants MacGyver and/or Armadeep 'David' Gill for making libelous statements on a slander website called the RipOffReport. The jury produced a verdict and substantial damages in favor of HHP and Fonteno that effectively proves that such statements were false and/or misleading.

"The jury's award was bittersweet after having to let go of so many good employees at a really bad time." stated Chase D. Fonteno, President/CEO, "And, the award will take time to actually impact HHP's liquidity. It will not immediately rebuild and repair the damages HHP has incurred - that will take time, but it is a start and now we can focus on getting back to work"
