I had been a subscriber almost since the beginning.
MY renewals were always due in December, so when I got the letter, I renewed.
Now since they KNEW in advance that Dec was their last issue and did not tell anyone and left their website up to accept renewals and still have the site up with not one word about being closed, that's called fraud. And since it was done using the US Postal Service to solicit the fraud, it's a felony mail fraud issue.
When RC Car went belly up, they sent postcards and switched you to or extended your RCCA subscription.
When RC Report died, he told everyone in the last issue, and stopped accepting renewals and new orders the month before when he knew. He also gave an address for refunds, and honored them.
What Mr Velez has done by taking money for new orders and renewals when he knew the doors were closing is a deliberate and criminal act.
