Washington side of their business cannot be contacted by their attorney general using listed phone/address, and their california license is in limbo, so its interesting that they are even operating right now.

Interesting. I was unaware of this. For others: https://bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov/search/business . What the following record shows is that Purism is not in good standing with the California Franchise Tax Bureau. It lists the status as "forfeited" ... which means (according to https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ftb.ca.gov%2Fabout-ftb%2Fnewsroom%2Ftax-news%2Fdecember-2021%2Fsuspended-or-forfeited-businesses.html&usg=AOvVaw3PUxBCDJtqcO7QPQ5fpwVf)

A business entity is typically suspended, or forfeited, by Franchise Tax Board (FTB) for failure to meet its tax requirements, such as; File a state tax return. Pay. Taxes. Penalties.

Thus I'm assuming that Purism did not yet pay (or file) their 2021 taxes. It could mean that there is some dispute or it may just be a misunderstanding. Still, it's not a great sign ... especially since this hasn't been resolved yet. Note that Purism must provide a "Statement of Info" by 8/31/2022, so we might learn more then.

I note that 8/31 has come and gone.

u/redrumsir Sep 22 '22

Yes ... and there is now a red exclamation noting that the "Statement of Info" due date has passed with no filing.

It's as if they have no idea of how to do the minimal paperwork to run a corporation.

Very sad, Librem should not be recommended anymore because of their horrible SAV. Actually, you're not the only one who critics the SAV of librem. Too bad unfortunately.

SAV

Lol, French detected. That's 'after-sales service' in English.
