Sulahian, 65, added that he’ll return the $3,060 donated to his GoFundMe marketing campaign, which he launched to boost $50,000 for an “moral, eco-friendly” cafe, The Instances Document reported.
Sulahian’s choice comes after he acquired backlash from the group for crowdfunding for a for-profit enterprise, and submitting a controversial letter important of the store’s unionized employees to the Portland Press Herald. He signed the letter utilizing his center names, Morgan Christopher, The Instances Document wrote.
Sulahian reportedly bought the espresso store’s tools and took down the store’s brand after the earlier proprietor closed it in June following a union strike.
Sulahian claims he by no means took steps to purchase the Little Canine area, or assume its lease, at present listed at $5,175 by Tondreau LLC, in response to The Instances Document.
