EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
The investigation first highlights suppliers who claimed not to be paid over four months. Dan Henderson is one such person who took to LinkedIn to share his experience, highlighting the challenges he faced during his time with the company. EK responded to this by sending Dan a cease and desist letter for expressing his requirement to get paid like many others who weren't as vocal. To emphasize the scale of this mismanagement, Dan isn't the only person who shares this similar story. Some haven't received their commissions despite promises and cases where overtime hours have been shaved off despite serving the time.
