JACK SCHWARTZBERG didn't know how much Spongetech would order. As a potential vendor, it was in his interest to go along with their story, parrot whatever they said, and hope they would place big orders with his company.
But who cares what JACK SCHWARTZBERG said anyway - he is NOT an expert in the market for sponge sales. Just a DISPLAY and PACKAGING VENDOR.
And they are still clearing the unsold inventory of sponges leftover from the SPNG bankruptcy liquidation, BTW, if some of the posts claiming the product is still for sale online somewhere are to be BELIEVED.
