Yes, this is MonarchJoe. I left Monarch at the end of October. It seems the rumor mill is swirling constantly about on Monarch's demise.
I was just an employee, so obviously I do not know everything that happened. Essentially some deals went bad, risks turned out too risky, etc, and thus here they are. Pretty much what happens to any company that goes out of business.
One rumor that I do know the answer to is no one has bought them out. Maybe someone will? I don't know. It's been almost 3 months since I was there.
There are several ex-monarch employees that are now employed by Global Computer. Myself included. That does not mean anything other than there were a bunch of guys out of a job in the Atlanta area, and there were openings here. There's not many places around that do what we know how to do, so the choices for a lot of us were slim. As we all have worked together, we are a sales team. Nothing more. As at Monarch we dealt with Custom Gaming Systems, Workstations, and Servers, that is our current focus. Global mainly has dealt with off the shelf in the past, so it's a natural fit for us to bring them a market they really haven't tapped.
So there's my lengthy reply. I'm more involved with Sales so if there's anything you need please feel free to contact me at
my personal email and I'll take care of you like I did back in the day.
