Ryan went threw a horrible loss of his wife. Him and his young daughter perhaps need to move on, for now. I don't know what's going on for sure but it's not hard to imagine how a business with very long build times would be utterly crippled by that. Hopefully he's been able to deliver the orders that were on the table. I hope him and his daughter are doing ok.
We know Ed and Pete were going strong with designs, but that's the most we've got thus far.
If you are not aware, there is a fee for owning a circle, and it's unlikely, if Ryan is out of commission, that he has paid it. I'm sure if Ryan comes back full swing then he can reactivate his circle.
