What did the judge actually order?
On October 5, 2026, New Jersey Superior Court Judge Thomas D. McCloskey ruled in Toma v. Vitacco that TCE Presents, the parent company behind Teksupport, has to wind down. Non-essential staff were terminated by October 9. Starting November 7, the company can no longer host a single event. A court-appointed fiscal agent, Ian Lagowitz, has been auditing the books since July, and from November 30 even routine bank transactions need a judge's signature. The assets are being frozen for liquidation, full stop.
Why are the co-founders suing each other?
Rob Toma and Mike Vitacco built Teksupport together starting in 2010, Toma out front as the face fans associate with the brand, Vitacco behind the scenes running logistics and the books. Somewhere along the way that partnership broke down hard enough that both men filed competing New Jersey lawsuits, each demanding sole ownership of the company and damages from the other. A temporary restraining order sided with Vitacco back in March, restricting Toma from interfering with day-to-day operations. Mediation followed. It failed. Now a judge has stepped in and effectively taken the keys from both of them.
What happens to CircoLoco's New York dates?
CircoLoco, the party that built its name on sweat-soaked afternoons at DC10 in Ibiza, licenses its brand to local promoters around the world, and Teksupport has been its New York home. That home is now compromised at the worst possible moment: CircoLoco's Halloween weekend at Brooklyn Storehouse on October 30 and 31, already billed as the venue's closing run, and a sold-out Volkoder night at The Chocolate Factory on November 6 are both sitting in limbo while the company that's supposed to produce them has no staff, no clear leadership and a freeze on its own money. Nothing officially says those nights are cancelled. Nothing says they're safe, either.
What's next for Teksupport?
The ruling points toward a split, not a rescue. The court has directed Toma and Vitacco to go set up separate businesses, which reads less like a reconciliation plan and more like a corporate divorce settlement. Whoever ends up with the Teksupport name, or whether anyone does, is still an open question the Special Fiscal Agent's reports are supposed to help answer. For now, the company that spent over a decade bringing international club nights into New Jersey and New York warehouses can't book a single show past November 6.
