FAMARS Out of Business

Anyone know anything about this?

Apparently Famars USA is not affiliated with Famars Italy.

The Italian web page is down but FamarsUSA still appears to be functioning.

This may explain the situation, I received this Email some time ago, seems both Luxury Arms and FAMARS are no longer.
