I was also a victim of this company. I did extensive freelance work and received 2 checks totalling almost $800. THE CHECKS BOUNCED! I contacted the owner/manager on many occasions, but all I got were lies. "I sent it yesterday," and more of the same.
THIS GUY/COMPANY IS BAD NEWS!

Actually. All the posted information is false.
Kimberly McMahon is a liar, thief and troubled. Tom Hepburn is angry and divorced. Actually Tom is trying to steel from his ex wife and children. SAD!!! Kimberly and Tom need to get a life. DWD is an amazing corporate gift/ chocolate company. DWD has no control over the actions/decisions taken by these individuals.
Thanks

Stay focused Michael.
I have copies of two checks ($800+ with the fees I had to pay) that YOU wrote to me that were returned for
NON SUFFICIENT FUNDS.
I will give copies to who ever wants to contact me. Kimberly and I are not going away until you pay. I suspect more people will surface that you've ripped off.

1) Written bad checks to several former employees and refused to make restitution
2) Engaged in shady and illegal business practices including using a client's credit card for his personal use
3) Made derrogatory and slanderous racial remarks toward three former employees
4) Threatened and harassed former employees via e-mail, voicemail and in person
It's interesting how four of us can corroborate the same exact events, provide facts and proof.
We have ALL given him ample time to make good on the checks, and to absolutely no avail. He has continually victimized people under the guise of hiring them in various capacities, and either writing them bad checks or refusing to pay.
He ignores communication, and when he does see fit to reply, they're peppered with oblique accusations and threats.
The bottom line here is that he owes us money. Anything he happens to post here is only incenidary rhetoric, and meant to detract from the original issue.

I don't know what the laws are in your state, but in MN anything over $250.00 is a Gross Misd. I think either $700.00 or $750.00 is a felony. Take your bad checks to the courts or the County Attorney and file theft charges against this guy. If you do, make sure you all submit them together and go for the felony. Who knows, maybe he has a criminal case pending already. Even if he does pay, still request that he be prosecuted. I'm sure if you all get together and do this, this guy will be forking over attorney fees to defend him. Just hope the attorney doesn't take a check from him for a retainer. Good luck to you.

This is an update on Michael Anderson and Digable Wave Design.
I went to the Illinois States Attorney regarding the bad checks that Michael Anderson/Digable Wave Design had passed me and we had a court date. Michael Anderson did NOT show up.
The State's Attorney will issue one more subpoena and if he doesn't show up for that there will be a warrant for his arrest. Although he has written an email saying that he will pay me, he still has not. I have faxed him the checks and still nothing.
The system is working though and it appears that justice will win out.
Still, beware of Michael Anderson, Digable Wave Design, and Anderson Chocolates in Chicago.
I've also been contacted by yet another person who says that he was also passed bad checks by this person.

Hello..
Michael A Anderson has been cleared of all charges. Tom Hepburn was found to be harrassing my client and had no grounds for a lawsuit. Tom Hepburn according to our records is still not paying child support and not paying correct income taxes. All court decisions are found on the Illinois Government web-site. Again, Michael A Anderson has been found not guilty and all charges have been dropped.
Thanks
Tom Hepburn currently lives in the southwest suburbs. In the town of Palos Hieghts. We know where you live. We will keeping a eye on Toms own closets.

Michael Anderson, currently of Anderson chocolates spent days in JAIL for not responding to the court. On the advice of the states attorney, it was recommended to not show up because the judge won't force him to pay in a situation where the bank is involved. After spending days in jail Mr. Anderson was literally crying in front of the judge to reduce his bond.
The states attorney advised me to let it go and be satisfied with his punishment for not showing up to court.
Be aware of this person. He does not pay his bills.

This is just another attempt to clear my company's name. "Nicole" and Tom Hepburn were both Fired for theft and or not completing the job. Both worked for the company 2 years ago. ?Nicole was actually fired from as many as four employers. Her name is Kimberely McMahon she lives in Wicker Park, Chicago. Starbucks and several companies stated she was a non rehirable and a theaf.
Tom Hepburm again has claimed bounced checks. False. Instead, he still refuses to pay child support and continues to dodge the IRS.
As the Judge in the case states. This is case has no merrit and was thrown out. Mr Edward Richmond, the attorney on the case states, Tom Hepburn has no case. If there was truth in the case, DWD would of been found guilty.
The companies listed in this report have been in business for 5 years and these are two angry and fired employees. Tom Hepburn and "Nicole" Kimberley McMahon need to find a life. Sad behavior. 100's of employees and two fired.
