The article makes it sound like this guy is a class-A *********, but what did he do that this many people take glee in his failure? Must've been something other than forging a liquor license.
He's also ****ed over employees and distributors by withholding payment on a number of occasions.I mean, clearly the guy has loose ethics and it looks like he broke lots of laws. But that doesn't really explain why so many people here are dancing on the ashes of his business/reputation. It seems like he did something way more personal than operate without a valid license.
They really don't explain it all that well. The responses here just seem so personal, like you guys were actually ****ed over. Basically I feel like there are good stories that aren't being told.It's not simply the fact he was operating without a license. The links explain all the shady dealings in the past. There's been years worth of this stuff.
Yes! There we go. That's more like it.stupac2 here's a pretty detailed article about one incident from last fall: http://philly.eater.com/archives/2012/09/21/the-farmers-cabinet-vs-bella-vista-beer.php

correct. not only that, but he also liked to join in on the forums. that was always fun.When ****** collides. Wasnt it Jordan who created a bunch of fake accounts at BA so he could record favorable reviews for the products Bella Vista carried?
correct. not only that, but he also liked to join in on the forums. that was always fun.
not the best example of shady swartz practices.
let's just put it this way... there were about 6 or 7 bars that he has owned over the past couple years. only 1 exists anymore. and most of the ex-staff are still owed money by the guy (and vendors, distributors, you name it)
Oh, I'm in no way defending Matt Swartz. I remember Jordan on the forums, he was definitely very excitable at first. He creeped me in Beermail asking if I "worked in the industry" because... I dunno... I posted on a beer website. I think I had Nima from Shangys on my ass around the same time because I was calling out their ******** whole state distribution deals.
one of the main reasons i'm pissed i'm banned from BA is i'll get to miss the annual nima hopslam fun. someone screen cap that **** for me this time around, pretty please.
no. you know how stubborn i am.Clear your browser cookies and lurk that ****.
