Although Bruce planned on a grand opening on July 01, 2013, the construction was not completed until July 29, 2013, causing Bruce to delay the grand opening until August 01, 2013. On August 01, 2013, Bruce purchased a new truck for $45,000, which weighs 19,000 pounds, to be used 1009% in the business for pickups and deliveries. Bruce planned to finance the new business with the $75,000 inheritance he received on 03/01/2013, from his late father's estate. Bruce also planned to use $100,000 of savings he had invested with Madoff Investment Securities (_IS) but learned on 3/29/2013, that his entire savings was lost as a result of a massive ponzi scheme. In order to come up with the additional funds needed to fund the construction, equipment, and inventory, Bruce's grandfather loaned him $125,000 on 05/15/2013. On December 25. 2013, Bruce received a letter from his grandfather stating that he forgives the entire $125,000 loan effectively immediately.
