Makes you wonder if he ever even filed a DBA or got incorporated as an LLC...
that would make too much sense. youre giving him too much credit. i mean he's, publicly talking about mail fraud like its no big deal
reporting him to the state for not registering might be cool... Just saying..
It's not illegal to be a sole proprietorship.reporting him to the state for not registering might be cool... Just saying..
It just means that when you win a judgement against him, you can take all of his personal assets too!
No kidding, but you still have to register a sole proprietorship. It's still a business. Unless his real name is nemassis project, but it probably isn't.
Bonus!It just means that when you win a judgement against him, you can take all of his personal assets too!
Doesn't make it a good idea.
Wow is this thread amazing. I want to look away, but I just can't.
With the state/city? If he's in the city limits yes but I'm not aware of any state registration that HAS to be done.
He can register it as a DBA, at least in UT. The guy I sued was doing that.
eg, "Brad Hodges, DBA Nemesis Project Cycles".
Usually the state's dept of commerce has everything on file for tax purposes.
No not at all. Business licenses are issued by a particular city if your business location is within the city limits. Trying to get him in trouble based on his legal status is definitely grasping for straws.
On the accounting side of things, you may be able to get something done. Just take him to small claims court though...that would be the easiest route and it sounds like there's a pretty good case to be had.
fixed
Epic.
I see this ever growing post about this guy he sounds pretty bad. I found this new guy the other day who seems incredibly great at frame building and he does bmx and mtn bike frames use this guy he is based in Texas willing to make anything and best of all his prices are super fair here is his link http://stoutbikes.blogspot.com/
That isn't what I was going for. In Cali, you register your business with the county clerk of your county. The SoS keeps a registry of the businesses in the state. Delaware is a common state to incorporate in due to cost of incorporation, among other things. Delaware State keeps a registry of the companies doing business in Delaware.
If he was a corp, s-corp, or llc, you would have to sue the company rather than the individual. If he is Brad Hodges DBA Nemesis Cycles, you would sue Brad. If he is Brad Hodges building bikes in his mom's garage, you would still sue Brad. This is regardless of weather or not he is declaring the income from Nemesis and paying taxes on it.
I'm not saying that he is or isn't paying taxes, please don't make that assumption. However, if a judgement is filed against him, his tax activity will quickly become apparent to the state and federal government. Just another incentive for him to make things right as quickly and discreetly as possible in case he is doing something shady tax wise (which I'm NOT saying he is.)
thanks.
With all this support and advice, I may end up suing him anyway. He did ask for my address again last week so he could send me my parts back. No money though, as he says he put in hours of work. I have yet to see anything that proves that. Everytime I revisit this thread I get all pissed off. ****.
If he surrendered any materials or fixtures/jigs to you that were part of this "work" he did, I'd call it squaresies. If he can't provide the materials or tooling, I'd demand cash. Where exactly did your money go? I call BS on his alleged hours of work, didn't you provide him prints? What is his labor rate anyway?
i understand now. all that money probably goes into fixing his VW
He didn't surrender anything. Nor does he want to show any pictures or anything showing he did any work. I sent him the money as a downpayment and for material, plus I sent him dropouts and gussets and other custom machined items, which cost me in excess of $700. I lost the money, I know I'll never get it back, but I want my parts back so I can go ahead and build this bike.
I am in a similar situation at the moment, I paid a local frame builder $800au as a deposit and I sent some dropouts I had sent from Germany, a Kowa 160SS fork(no biggie) and an Acros 1.5"-1 1/8" headset. I ordered my frame a year an a half ago and I too have nothing to show but the money I have spent. However my frame builder has offered a refund and my parts back but I still want him to build my frame so I'm happy to wait it out.
Hope you get something sorted with Brad sooner rather than later, it seems weird he builds such nice lloking frames yet he did that to a Golf.

thats not what Libel means.

remember how I said it would be libel if it WASN'T recounting true occurrences?

what a clusterfvck.
You know, that is not his R32. He got a silver one I have pics of it.
He's probably got one in every color by now with all of the scamming he does..
an update on the situation:
After Brad had asked me for my address again, so that he'd attampt to send out my **** for the 47th time, guess what...? NOTHING, nothing ****ing happened. Asshole.

Why dont you just bring him to small claims court, along with the other 900 people
someone with his writing skills shouldn't be running a business. hopefully you can get something back from him, but taking him to court should be #1 on the list. at least get that done. a win only helps. maybe threads like this will put him out of business so no one else has to deal with his stupidity.
The best part is how he keeps messaging mods threatening us and the website with lawuits.
I've dealt with Brad before. It was to say the least, an interesting experience. I ordered a frame from him, nothing too special. It took 7 months. I'm still waiting on bars and seatpost shims from him. This was 3 years ago.
Granted on I got my frame in the end, it rode like ****, and bent the original bars.
Edit: Looking for his shop?
