Notable findings and disputes

  1. strong corroboration The Bounce Boot Camp brand remains operating through at least an active New York operator, but the present legal standing of Thomas Hill’s original Arizona LLC and the license/franchise chain are unresolved. [ BOUN5, BOUN6, BOUN8 ]
  2. verified fact Current operation is scoped to the brand/service network, not a claim that the original Arizona LLC remains active. The New York site is live, identifies the concept as founded by Thomas Hill, and advertises current services. [ BOUN5, BOUN6 ]
  3. credible report Later claims of multi-state/franchise growth are credible but the exact franchise agreements, operators and surviving locations were not independently reconstructed in this batch. [ BOUN3 ]
  4. unresolved No evidence of bankruptcy, acquisition or a Shark transaction was located. Absence of those records in this bounded search is not proof none exist. [ BOUN7 ]
