I just talked to the sheriff’s office in AL and he asked me to tell everyone to contact Don Yarborough of the FBI. His number is (256)764-3613. The FBI is in touch with the attorney general office. They are reviewing all the info to decide if this is a civil or criminal case. The more people who report to the FBI the better it will be for all of us. Please everyone give him a call.

Latest Update…. The sky has fallen on Dale Nabor’s Dream Team in AL. Dale has finally gotten up enough nerve to meet with the employees that followed him up to Muscle Shoals, AL and told them he can NOT get the money to pay them. But he wanted to know who would continue to work for him for FREE. Has he lost his mind totally? He also told them if they would not stay and work free he did not want them to blog him. WTF????!!!!! He’s an arrogant sh it!! So… now there are NO employees at Cuppy’s/Elite/Medina! Dale is still trying to sell Elite contracts to Brian Hayes. But remember franchisees… Brian Hayes/SBT or whatever name they go by these days is overcharging you for buildout and equipment. Your best bet is to take whatever loss you have now and sue Morg/Dale/Medina/Fransynergy and try to recoup your deposit moneys. Cuppy’s is dead! Even if a franchisee let SBT continue to build them out, I would NOT call it Cuppy’s. Cuppy’s has an awful name and I don’t even think God himself can raise that dead franchise. Franchisee please listen up… you need to join together to get justice. There are more people out here willing to help you get that justice than you may think. Good luck to you zees and to the employees that followed Dale to AL and had work for 2 months without pay. I wish you all well.

He is suing for $132 Million dollars, which is asinine enough in itself.

According to PACER, the suit was filed pro se.

I can tell you from experience that the Florida courts are no place to represent yourself.

The guy is flakier than I was before I switched to Head&Shoulders.

Who knows? Maybe it is one of those “Dick and Jane” scenarios where the CFO had no idea that this new job wasn’t a promotion, and he was just a “fall” guy.

Maybe he will do better with HIS EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT in the courts than the prospective franchisees and the current franchisees will do with their contracts in arbitration or the courts.

Franchise law and regulation underlies and enables this kind of nightmare for all involved.

Has Cuppy’s still on the SBA Franchise Registry or have they been removed? I always wondered what it took to be removed from the SBA Franchise Registry!
