Except for time, it's free to sue PosibaVn in Vietnam (the company can't win for any reason)

It's said to see our company is running in this situation, but it seems the CEO lost many chances to save us...

Was there any problem when company's laywer contacted ex-employeed? Is the Us laws system preventing you from suing the company, or you don't like / can't afford a court issue?

The team in VN tries to sue PosibaVn, and they will win. However, getting the full payment is another story when the company keeps saying they doesn't have anything to pay.

It's said to hear that company still owes pay to American employees; we here in Vn thought they were fully paid (I know CTO and some foreigners are not paid, though.)

It's nice if you would give me some contact points so we won't let this story go.

The CEO doesn't bother to say "sorry" for their mistake that leads us to this situation. It's sad to see her message http://posibablog.cf/closing_down/
EDreicer··on ClusterHQ is shutting down
How is this company shut down?

Almost the same day my Us-based company officially announces to close down, but we haven't been paid since June 2016. I really want to know if this happens in Us

we have been waiting for months (yes it's 6 months) with "soon", "updates" and no money. The first time I've seen this kind of company in my life.

Maybe a good chance to learn something new ... phew!

HackerNews is where we start. The team tries with layer in Vietnam, but that doesn't really help as for FDI companies all money comes from US. No money in VN.

It's not an internal problem. It's how some US start-up companies are working in Vietnam, and it's also a problem in Vietnam laws system that hasn't any strict rules for FDI companies.

Start-up is hard, but it's not hard this way when the whole staff are not paid.

We need you to raise this problem on the start-up environments. Let me know what you think.
