I wonder if he’s using this incident or these events to get an out to take his following to his new ventures because he screwed up giving away all his power in trex.
T.Rex Arms Meltdown

It's much bigger than TREX.
When you're in a Cult, and if you're lucky enough to wake up one day and say, "HOLY SHIT... I'M IN A FUCKING CULT!" then you need to take any opportunity you can to get the hell out.
...and even with that knowledge, there is a very-strong-incentive to stay in! Look at that weight room that he still has access to. Do you think his noodle arms have ever curled more than a MK12 with thousands of dollars of optics and lasers attached, standing in front of an expensive camera with a blue lens filter, operated by one of the faithful on their day off?
That's all paid for by farming out your flock and consolidating all their cash at the top, inside the "Botkin" household.
If you get in bed with regular organized crime and become beholden to them, that's bad.
They will try to control your life, and you will spend it paying back at great interest.
If you get in bed with weird religious stuff and let them control your life... and then choose to borrow $$,$$$,$$$.$$ from them...
You are mega-screwed.
Well, they're not Christian... and some of their stuff sounds like it was very-obviously-lifted from Sunni Islam:
Lucas Botkin is using this event as the excuse to leave the Cult- and if anyone in the future asks, he and they can say, "Oh, it was some disagreement over a plastic holster company we all started."
The other Botkins that got out, like the lady above, probably get the Two Minutes of Hate at weekly Sunday Service.
So the father is Chairman of the Board of T.Rex Arms, the Church is not a Cult, they claim this at Christ the King Church of Middle Tennessee.
"We hold to the 1689 London Baptist confession. To view our statement of faith follow the link below."
I am ignorant of Baptist ideology, but do know many 3rd generation Mayflower Families chose it over the First Congressional Church.

Think very critically, and maybe involve a lawyer, before putting family and business into the same sentence.
My dad and three of his brothers had a falling out with the fifth brother over what amounts to a pittance relative to this TRex Arms kerfuffle. The details are not important other than to say that the wealthiest of them all was hell bent on getting his, regardless of the others.
That brother died and I was a pall bearer at the funeral. Getting someone to stand up and say something about the man was like pulling teeth. His daughter gave a eulogy that was essentially “he was my dad, and you all know how he was.” The general sentiment at the funeral was “well, that’s done…”
Back family in a fight. But, business? I’d rather take my chances on The Shark Tank…

No dancing. No drinking. At least, that’s what you tell people. Lots of “bless your heart” and “he needs Jesus.”
Little known fact… Footloose was a documentary.
Why do the liquor stores in the south open at noon on Sunday?
Because that’s when the Baptist church lets out.
What’s the difference between a Baptist and a Catholic?
A Catholic will say ‘hi’ to you at the liquor store.
