In recent weeks Vizio has had several approaches from Companies looking to distribute their products in Australia. Among those to have approached Vizio is International Dynamics as well as a leading retailer who wanted to deal directly with Vizio.
"We are not interested in Australia or any other overseas distribution. Australia was not good for our brand we made a big mistake in the past dealing with the wrong partners" a senior executive of Vizio said.
Stefan Wisniewski and his wife Theresa Mary Wisniewski, who operate Digital Video Technologies. http://www.dvt.com.au has been described as a "bare faced liars", took on the brand in Australia telling both resellers and the media that they had the backing of Vizio in the USA. This proved not to be the case. It was later revealed that the couple also had a relationship with a convicted criminal who had also been a shareholder in a Company called Vizio Australia.
The couple also teamed up with a conman and his girlfriend who operated an advertising agency called Robot Blonde. Run by Bronni Schmeri and her partner Emile Scott the business has since been declared bankrupt however investigations are underway as to the legitimacy of the bankruptcy as Schmeri failed to call in an administrator and is now trading again as a media company.
