General Information

Q: What happened to Ecom Authority, LLC?
A: Due to operational challenges and financial constraints we have elected to wind down operations through an assignment for the benefit creditors (“ABC”).

Q: What is an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors (ABC)?
A: The ABC is a Florida statutory process that results in the company being wound down by a third-party assignee and is overseen by the circuit court of the eleventh judicial circuit in and for Miami-Dade County (Case No. 2025-010807-CA-01).  We believe this process offers the best chance of preserving value for our partners and provides full transparency. The ABC proceeding is designed to maximize recovery for creditors and offers a realistic path forward for recovering inventory and funds under our current circumstances.

An assignee will assume control of the company’s operations – identifying assets, reviewing liabilities, and making distributions to creditors. The assignee will have possession of all books and records of the company. 

Q: Who is handling this process?
A: The process is being handled by Michael Moecker & Associates, a Fort Lauderdale, Florida based firm specializing in insolvency and fiduciary services. You can contact us at [email protected]
