I don't know what will happen next but I can tell you how it's going to end.
First, his orders will all stop because his shipper ran off with all his stock. He'll say he's going to make everyone whole but needs more time to get new raws and brew the gear. Then, for totally unrelated reasons, his wife will leave him and he'll be much too distraught to deal with little things like filling orders. Then he'll stop communicating because there's a problem with his email. He won't admit it, of course, but the reason is that his internet was disconnected for non payment. His communication will be sporadic from then on because it's a 6 hour drive to the nearest McDonald's where he can access wifi, and there will probably be a major snowstorm or two in there too, making the roads impassable - even in July. Then one of his kids will be sick with a life threatening illness like allergies or the sniffles and he'll have to fly halfway across the country for a rare operation - an operation so rare that only three other people in the entire world have had it. Then there will be the compulsory death in the family. Maybe a close relative like a 4th cousin twice removed or a 6th uncle on his wife's cousin's side. And while Phurious is attending the funeral, he will be robbed (including his laptop with all his passwords) so he'll be incommunicado again. Then, either his roof will collapse or he'll get the Ebola or AIDS, but only the 48-hour Ebola or AIDS. He'll live, of course, but will be much too ill to send out orders. And finally, there will be a female family member who comes out as a lesbian - maybe even the wife who left him - because there's always a lesbian involved in these things. Always.
And that is the usual course of events when a source is finished.
