I tried googling this but all I've found is that it's another con? And from your secret it's a failing one?

basically hvff and wsc (walker stalker cons) belong to the same person -james frazier. wsc had a main focus on the walking dead /zombies and hvff was a different event focusing on the DC tv Universe (arrow, flash, legends; also gotham and other smaller shows). Stephen amell (Oliver Queen / The Arrow) was a co founder. They started with a few cons on the east and west coast and later expanded to a ton of cities, often with the same cast members and guests. They hit the ads pretty hard (buy 1 gen. admission get 2/3/4 free) making me question their credibility - how can they afford several 10+ guest events if they basically give away 3/4 of their general admission tickets?

Last autumn they started to bot issue refunds for cancellations. Events got postponed with 0 communication and refunds are a nightmare.
Theyre basically bankrupt but James acts as if the future events will still take place.

I remember this comment. I'm not sure if they just bit off more than they could chew, or if it's some kind of manager who way overbooked the dates... either way, stretching your money thin, and your fanbase even thinner is the complete opposite way to do good business.
Fans will travel within reason to an event the want to see, that said, the event still has to be worth attending...
The whole thing seems like a recipe for disaster.

They probably overstretched their budget (no wonder with the amount of "buy one pass get x free" ads they did) and failed to report proper taxes. Then they couldnt afford tonpay their celebrity guests.
Stephen amell quit in april, which is a HUGE rwd flag

hit reply too fast.

Stephen Amell used the HVFF to boost his own (shitty) wine company, so that was a red flag foe anyone who hoped for any professionalism. The refunds are not being paid right now, and there is huge discontent on a lot of facebook groupd. 111 The lack of clear communication, no actions and basically "waiting for time to pass til paypal refund claims expire" have given a huge dent into the reputation.
