		<description>I was a java jo&#039;z franchisee. I  to was ripped off of 30,000. I was receiving quarterly disbursments from a law firm handling the java jo&#039;z  settlement. We also had trouble finding a site. That law firm is no longer sending the disbursment out.  I received a letter, but lost it about a new firm handling the quarterly payments.  Question: Anyone knows how to contact or has contacts to see why the payments stopped. We settled on 27,000 to be refunded and about 4,500 hundred has already. Please call me at 504 259-4520. Thanks, Stephen  New Orleans</description>

		<description>Yes Java Jo&#039;z and Cuppy&#039;s are separate companies BUT- took over all the same lame people that do not know how to serve franchisees!  I visited the Corporate Office, and talk about unprofessional.  They wanted me to sign a contract that day.  The whole company is a scam and if you are looking into their franchise beware- oh I also saw their wonderful high rating from The AAFD- well new owner of Cuppy&#039;s stated they did not live up to the AAFD standards at all, so they should not have that award by any means.  Beware of all the scams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>By the way Steve &quot;H&quot;, if i remember correctly you had your fair share of issues, as we all did. You are very ignorant to be sticking up for ROY when it is clear what kind of man he is, he is sitting in Federal Prison.(I am not) I mean it&#039;s not like people are just making up all tis stuff about him.

The man made millions of dollars off kids, paying them 15.00 a day to eat and do whatever else they needed.(BTW he is in jail for tax freud relevent to the mag crew buisiness.) The hours worked, the brainwashing, I mean this man has never looked out for anyone but himself. 

He also took these peoples money and lived a lavish life style BY BEING DISHONEST. A little bit of pot calling kettle black, don&#039;t cha think.

I see the brainwashing stuck w/ you. I did chose to go and sell these magazines, I did chose to go back, but I was a nieve kid, and thats what these people count on.

Any amount of research will show everyone involved in these mag crews (upper management) are shady, too slimy to make it in the real buisness world, which requires dealing with smart , savy buisness people.

Therefore they involve themselves in a buisness, that requires little more intelligence then brainwashing kids, and living off of thier hard work.

I on the other hand left crew, went back to school and work in the financial industry, where I am no longer nieve, nore deal w/ slimly, lowlife, selfish, small minded mag crew &quot;managers&quot;.</description>

		<description>WellYour right I sure did do things I am not proud of! A child  in the position of survival and approval can do many things! However the man you defend has MADE HIS BED in a cell while I tuck my son into bed! Moral of the story is to know just who it is you are lying in bed with!</description>

		<description>Roy Snowden used to clear orders for his Mag Crew through Belo Kellum and TICOA in the 80s, then he met his match.  A bigger crook than himself. Steve Bellamy.

Bellamy looted Snowden for over half his crew and much more cash. Funny Stuff.

Roy&#039;s vitamin poppin ass is a well known criminal from the mag biz. World Media was formed after Bellamy&#039;s Media World bent Roys dumb ass over a post.

It was common for the old Mg Pro&#039;s . like Roy and Bellay, to &quot;pad&quot; the 1099s they issued to young adults. Sometimes they even issued 1099s in the sum of 90 grand or more to pass of the tax liability. Snowden&#039;s crooked ass is in prison for that.

In 1990, at the Holiday Inn in Parsipany NJ, i became very aqaiunted with Kim. Nice girl and a great sport.

Anyway, my old favorite saying has come true.

&quot; Your destiny is my revenge&quot;

Dont drop the soap Snowden :)</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Steve H. said: &lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;I am amazed that â€œJâ€ can even spell much less read enough to try to stick up for a lier&lt;/i&gt;

Steve:  Did you mean &quot;stick up for a &lt;i&gt;liar&lt;/i&gt;?  

By &quot;strait&quot; did you mean &lt;i&gt;straight&lt;/i&gt;?  

By &quot;if-so-facto&quot; did you mean &lt;i&gt;ipso facto&lt;/i&gt;?  

By &quot;where treated&quot; did you mean &lt;i&gt;were treated&lt;/i&gt;?  

Roy sounds like a great guy.  He&#039;s lucky to have you to defend his honor and correct spelling.  Tell him we send our regards when you see him on visiting day.</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t believe I didn&#039;t find this sooner. While doing a quick search for Roy I can upon this bash fest with little delight. First lets start things of by saying that I am amazed that &quot;J&quot; can even spell much less read enough to try to stick up for a lier. It would be one thing if her story was strait but it is in fact, fictional! She was caught stealing or &quot;not giving the customers receipts and keeping the money for herself&quot; and then was given another chance by Roy to stay on and do the right thing. But alas she could not help herself and continued about her ways. And if-so-facto she was &quot;let go&quot; in Fargo, N.D. at a Greyhound Station with ticket in hand. 

  Now as for &quot;J&quot;. There are &quot;mag crews&quot; that are like you describe but the one Roy P. ran was nothing as you describe. Yes some did have bad experiences but those where mostly people who didn&#039;t give a shit about  anything and where treated like wise. W.A.B. I believe was the term used most for people who couldn&#039;t swing the d to d sales b.s. and you sound very much like one of those people.  I happen to work for this man for two years, I stayed in one hotel that wasn&#039;t the greatest and yes sometimes I didn&#039;t meet my quota but never did Roy treat me with anything but respect as I him. I guess my point here is you get what you give.

 Sometimes karma is quick and sometimes it can take years.

P.S. Kim went crazy and was institutionalized some years back so I doubt she had anything to do with this.</description>
