Sad indeed... like many others here I bought my first LF camera and lenses from them back in the 'sixties (while stationed overseas) and for many years they were my only source for all my photographic needs. As previously noted - "back in the day" they were stellar in their customer service and support and Jose was always an outstanding source for parts and sound advice!

I've been putting off ordering some parts for my C-1, and I guess now those 4x5 reducing back leaf springs will be tough to find. D'oh!

Common trick to stop all kinds of behavior.
Factories have been know to run a fire drill and lock the employees out once the building is empty.
Employment at will.
There are plenty of those backs floating around, with the death of Fujiroid, few will ever want them.
Ace Photo in Ashburn? Pro Photo in DC? Embassy Camera?
HP Marketing is on the list of creditors. I hope that today's typical practice of retailers not stocking big-ticket items (i.e. placing the stock keeping burden on distributors until an actual end-user order is received) means you won't be stiffed for too much.
I hadn't heard about those guys. Obviously smaller, and nothing catering to LF that's for sure. And I would hesitate to say Ashburn is in DC, but whatever...
