[BuckeyeMike]

DBMM asked for a "Hardship Exemption" which was denied by the Court:

3.5. Hardship Exemption7
Digital Brand contends that the Commission should grant it a hardship
exemption based on a “thread of events” of “epic bad luck.” Resp. Post-Hr’g Br. at 3-
5; Answer ¶ 10; Answer to Mot. for Ruling on the Pleadings ¶ 11. As discussed in
the Findings of Fact, Digital Brand’s “epic bad luck” consisted of (1) various
problems with multiple auditors, requiring a re-audit of the company’s financial
statements, and (2) fallout from loans from a high-interest lender that went bad.
Resp. Post-Hr’g Br. at 3-4.
Digital Brand is not entitled to a hardship exemption under the plain language
of the regulation.
