Hmmm, something does not ring true here. I know of many companies where 
the distributors use company logos withouyt authorization. This is not to 
say that it is an ethical practice and indeed most companies have 
policies against this. I can see where a distributor might be canned for 
doing such a thing but this is the first time I heard of a company 
completely shutting down because of it. I was told by a second source 
that FQ is going to reorganize and open up again. Any info. on this?
