In the late 90's, there was a glider crash at Bay Soaring resulting in the death of the passenger. I can't recall the NTSB findings but it was shortly thereafter that Bay Soaring vaporized. Additionally, the owner, Gerry Guadet, was heavily invested in various risky (i.e. sketchy) business ventures in the emerging eastern European area. He owed a lot of money to a lot of people.
I can only assume that the legal entanglements of the Bay Soaring crash plus the personal financial losses stemming from his losing business venture possibly was his undoing.
