    https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/13/politics/kentucky-startup-appharvest-jd-vance/index.html

    CNN review of public documents, and interviews with a dozen former workers, shows that AppHarvest not only failed as a business after pursuing rapid growth, but also provided a grim job experience for many of the working-class Kentuckians Vance has vowed to help

    [COLOR=var(--style-type-primary-1-highest)]Despite promising local jobs, the company eventually began contracting migrant workers from Mexico, Guatemala and other countries, numerous former employees told CNN.
    While Vance stepped down from AppHarvest’s board and launched his political career in 2021, he remained an investor and supporter of the company. By the time he was sworn in to office last year, the company he’d hailed as a great opportunity was mired in lawsuits filed by shareholders angry over its plummeting stock price and allegations of fraud.

    These drag pics make me wonder if the eyeliner is just too hard for him to remove after an evening with the "boys". Someone needs to get to the bottom of this!

    The way this is going, I'm not going to be surprised when someone uncovers some gay porn with Sofa Loren.

    I am familiar with this. In my opinion it’s a trump says 13 year old girl says. Everyone else there was a child molester. Not sure there is enough here to criminally prosecute him but it’s enough for me to not consider voting for him. Christians care more about fetuses than children so as long as he is against women making their own medical decisions, Trump has their vote.

    I believe her. 1 or 2 rape/assault allegations comes with the territory of being a famous man. But someone has 20+ rape/assault allegations? He did that shit, guilty asf

    According to the articles he was more of an investor and pitch man in that company and the Webb guy was the founder and operator.

    Honestly based on this story it’s a nothingburger. Sounds to me like the founder had good intentions, and it’s a “green” business to boot (vertical farming) , a lot of that just sounds typical failing of a startup that didn’t make it, wasn’t well run and got desparate at the end. The F word is used in this article (fraud). That’s always a danger with public startup company, maybe this one wasn’t ready to come public. Really depends on what they were saying publicly vs what they were doing (material misstatements are where fraud comes in). Did they enrich themselves despite the failing? I’m not saying no fraud took place, but we need more facts, when a company goes down the tubes the investors who lose are generally always going to “allege” fraud, so that must be kept in mind.
