• I saw some activity tonight in the lobby of Terrazio. Sounds like people are moving in ?

• I am not sure how this developer keeps going. He has not paid contractors who have completed work on his project. How does that work?#failure

• Lorie,

  Making accusations like this anonymously is cowardly.

  Since you may be a competitor, o rhave some other axe to grind, no one should believe you.

• Check it out…you will see how many contractors have liens against the project…..its a fact you can easily check out. It is a public record. I am just asking a question. How dies this work?

• I would think you would check out the statement before using words like cowardly. You could easily obtain the information, public record. Like I said, just asking a question. How does this work?#failure

• Lorie,

  You’ve got this backwards. The person making an accusation is responsible for documenting it, not the person reading it.

  If there are lien claims – and I’m not disputing that there may be – they’re just that: claims. Every developer has been been subject to being blind-sided by unwarranted liens as well as valid ones. Court judgments are another story. Can you cite any?

  Your approach is that of a typical run-of-the-mill guttersnipe. Absent any disclosure of your interest in this or your identity there’s no reason to take you seriously.

• Joe, I also know of multiple situations like the one stated by Lorie regarding this developer and his failure to pay contractors for work that has been completed. She is right it is all public record. # failure

• Andy / Lorie,

  I’m addressing you as one person since you’re posting from the same IP address. The e-mail “Lorie” gave can’t be found anywhere, and the one “Andy” gave traces to a 19-year old.

  Out with it – what is your pathetic agenda here? At this point you have less than zero credibility.

• Again, this is all public record. There are contractors that have not been paid. For this developer to propose any more projects, especially projects looking for public support is laughable. Refer to me as a “coward”, “run-of-the-mil guttersnipe”, and anything else you obviously feel is professional and appropriate, but your aggressive reply leaves me wondering what your interest may be. The only people blindsided here have been the contractors who have been stiffed. As for the court cases, time will tell.#failure

• Joe
  For people you are not taking seriously, you appear a little frustrated, with the name calling and all. Yes, same IP address, different people. With your command of the internet, you would know that. What you don’t know is we are people who know a little about the business practices of a developer that has been hyped by some as a savior to development and neighborhoods. It is all public record. Whether you are 19 or 90, it is still public record You are right, though…it is pathetic.#failure

• It will be interesting to see how this gets funded. Given the current climate, I don’t know that I’d have the cajones to develop a project of this size.

  Lorie/Andy/Sybil, time will tell if your statements are true. Please keep us posted.

• Lorie / Andy,

  I have no ties to Sedgwick. My interest, it should be clear, is in fact-based reports, fairness and honesty – qualities you have completely failed to display here.

  Even if you are different people writing from the same computer you completely failed to disclose any connection but pretended to be independent separate individuals with knowledge of facts that you do not detail. You’ve given no one any reason to believe that what you say has any significance.

• Joe,

  You say you are interested in fact based reporting, fairness, and honesty. Hmmm, I wonder why you resort to name calling, and sarcasm rather than really wondering about the facts. I am not attacking you, the site, or your work. I am asking a question which seems to have struck a nerve. I believe fairness and honesty is honoring the contracts and paying people for work completed. Simply look at this developer and his past and present record for paying people. I would think before reputable people get excited and tout a future project, some homework would be done. If there is no reason to worry about the past practices, fine. However, when a question is raised, I would think people in the business would be a little more interested in the truth. Oh and believe me, Andy and I are two different people who live at the same address. Yes, Andy is 19 years old and I wish I was 19! So what. Joe, a simple google search would have told you we are two people. Dave, my name is Lorie, while I may feel like Sybil sometimes, no relationship! The purpose or “agenda” here was simply to pose a question. How do you plan another project, parading around like a financial wizard and neighborhood hero when you have not honored obligations on this project? How does that work? Just asking. Proof: Again, it is all public record.

• Lorie,

  Since you claim to be so familiar with the public record, cite the names of the lien claimants, the property involved, and the amounts involved. Give us recording numbers for the liens. You’ve given us no facts to wonder about.

  No one, including you, believes that your agenda here is simply posing a question.

  I called you a guttersnipe and a coward because that’s what you are. I forgot to mention repulsive, because you’re that too. What else would you call an anymous accuser who’s offered no specifics and pretends to be two different people in comments?

  You have an open forum here to present facts. Do that, or crawl back under your rock.

• Ouch. Hit that nerve again didn’t I. Public record. You don’t need me to provide it for you. The way you protest, Could it be you know it is all true and just want it buried? Friend of yours perhaps? Do you seriously think all of your rhetoric would bother me? It is obvious that you want to distract any curiosity my question would draw with name calling and personal attacks…. Two Words: Public record. Anyone truly curious can get the information.#failure

• Lorie,

  Time-wasting attacking anonymice consistently hit a nerve with me. They’re creepy, ugly things, and I hate being reminded that they exist.

  You’re simply repeating that you have no specific facts to offer, i.e. nothing to bury. If I wanted you buried I could have simply not allowed your comment to appear. I mistakenly thought you might be shamed into providing some facts. Silly me.

  If you’d followed this site you’d know that we check public records when there’s a reason to do so. Non-specific allegations from anonymous commenters aren’t a reason to do so.

  I’ve told you I have no relationship with Sedgwick. I’m very public and care about my credibility.

  As someone who practiced law for 5 years and was in the building business for 8 I know what the public record of a lien claim tells me: next to nothing.

  Anyone who’s interested in any business relationship with Sedgwick will do their own due diligence and will pay no attention to the likes of you.

• Joe, if you care about your credibility then you would investigate the claims being made. Do you think anyone with the type of information you ask for would want to, or feel the need to share it? I would think a man with your past would understand that. You ask to know my agenda and I will tell you it is simple, to let people know how this developer hires contractors for work holds out on payment until the contractors refuse to work anymore and then withholds funds that the contractors clearly earned. While many families struggle to make it through the month during these hard times this man chooses to rip off hard working men that would just like to make a living. I am not convinced you have no relationship with Sedgwick but if you say you don’t then I ask you to prove it by looking up the facts that many people already know. Also correct me if I am wrong isn’t an IP address assigned to a network not a computer?? Mabey look into that also.# failure

• Andy,

  You’ve given me nothing to investigate. No facts. No specifics. No properties against which liens have been filed. Nothing but trashy allegations.

  You know as well as I do why you won’t disclose who you are or what your agenda is – it would expose you to defamation claims if your statements were untrue or overstated or published solely to advance an agenda of commercial grievance.

  In brief, you’re still, in my book, a gutless guttersnipe hiding behind anonymity. I don’t have anything to prove to people like you, nor is there any reason for me to look up facts that you pretend to know but won’t disclose.

  This is an inreasingly pointless exchange.

  For whatever it’s worth, my dad was a carpenter and a contractor who was, on occasion, stiffed by builders when I was a kid. I know exactly and in a very personal way what the implications of that are for working people and their families. My dad would never have even considered stooping to your behavior to pursue a grievance.

• Is this not a safe/anonymous forum to post comments?
  Though I don’t always agree, I thought it was pretty accepted that identities were to remain anonymous.
  Does this mean that our IP addresses and so forth are passed on to other sources when we post here?
  I have no comment on the strand here other than to say that this does not seem like a level playing field or a good place to comment when one person has personal information on another.
  Does this mean if the poster’s comments were not correct, that her information would be turned over to the authorities at the drop of a hat?
  This really has gone overboard and I would hope that this forum is safer than that for people to post what they wish.
  I am supremely disappointed in this exchange.

• Anonymous,

  No one’s info has been disclosed or passed on to anyone. Period.

  It’s legitimate for us to examine IP addresses and e-mail addresses to expose people who are fraudulently pretending to be what they’re not. We do not, however, expose thier actual identity.

  What transpired above is a good example: one person, or two related people, pretending to be two completely unrelated people.

  When commenters dishonestly pretend to be what they’re not it’s a legitimate function for us to point out that that’s what has transpired.

  But, again, we haven’t named any individual or passed any information on anywhere.
