I started a business (havasu planet UTV) with Todd Papajohn in January 2014,  I invested approx. $100,000.00 initially.  Todd was suppose to run the business. 

I have now found out he helped himself to all of the company cash and to inventory.  In Sept and Oct 2014 alone, he took out of the business account $45,000 in cash, transfered $37,000.00 into his personal acccount, opened three additinal accounts and transferred another $52,000.00 in unknown accounts.  All the time telling me everything is fine, paying bills etc.  

He has since disappeared, won't answer emails or phone calls and left me hanging with all the debts, no money, records, tools or anything from the business.  He is a liar, thief, and looking back I have found out he was lying to me the entire time.  Watch out for this guy!  He will try to sell you a bill of goods and then screw you!

Todd Papajohn Skipped Out On Lease

AUTHOR: Norm - (USA)

POSTED: Saturday, August 29, 2015

I rented a house to TODD ANDREW PAPAJOHN in Prescott Arizona in September of 2014.  He told me that he was the owner of Havasu Planet UTV and was opening a store in Prescott Valley.  Long story short, the rent was late more often than not.  When he did pay the rent he would pay for a couple months in advance and always with a money order.  He signed a year lease and moved out in March of 2015 without notice. 

I contacted him in April to see when he planned on paying rent and found that he moved out some time in March.  He did say the house needed a little "tidying up" and that he left some things that I could sell.  He left a bunch of junk furniture, a broken TV, old clothes and other crap he couldn't fit into his truck along with an unpaid water bill for $202.75.  His dog also crapped all over the place and the carpets will need to be replaced.  The place was a mess. 

I contacted him through text to see if he would at least pay me $500.00 to cover the cleaning expenses and water bill to which he agreed but...it never happened.  I tried to give him the benefit of doubt and emphasize with his situation but he refused to take the opportunity.  He has since disconnected his phone and I can no longer contact him. 

Think twice about conducting any business or renting any property to TODD ANDREW PAPAJOHN.

wow!  todd papajohn is something else!  I put up 87,000 to help him start a business, i put up another 100,000 to open a line of credit for the business, (the credit company took the 100k because todd did not pay back the principle as we agreed) I am obligated to pay another 90,000 to the credit company that financed his inventory. i am the one out hundereds of thousands of dollars and he has the nerve to say i am greedy? all i did was try to help the guy start a business.  he drew wages the entire time he operated the business, there are hundreds of thousands of dollars missing and unaccounted for, i have asked for bank records and he refused, I have titles for almost 50,000 of UTV's that todd unlawfully obtained duplicate titles for and sold the units and kept the money. i have found out he opened 5 different accounts in the last months of the business and shuffled money from one to another, he purchased pickup trucks, took tens of thousands of dollars out in cash, emptied the accounts, emptied the business building of everything in the middle of the night, told me he was paying off debt and did not, lied to the credit company, and evaded the servers when they appempted to serve him papers. and i am greedy? wow!  thank god i did not give him more money he was asking for.

 

the judge at trial, looked at all the records and information and agreed that i was entitled to a 350,000 dollar judgment.  100,000 of the judgment was punitive.   todd would like you to beleive he is broke and filing bankruptcy.  the records just don't support his position.  i will be at his bankruptcy hearing (if he is really even filing) and ask the judge to look into where all the money and assets went to, where the money is for the 100,000 of tools he now claims he sold.  it is obvious to me he has hidden or wasted it all.  wish i had looked into todds past record before giving him money, his record speaks for itself, obviously the people on green hulk did not post the complaints for no reason.  i just hope i can save anyonyone else from falling victim to todd papajohn in the future.

Watch out for Todd Papajohn

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Saturday, July 18, 2015

todd papajohn is some piece of work! i trusted him with my retirement money and he took the money for his own use and left me with another $90,000.00 of debt.  the courts in lake havasu awarded me a $350,000.00 judgment against todd papajohn in May of this year.  i suggest you check yourself with the court system.  i have come to find out todd has a long criminal record and spent a year in jail for grand larceny in florida, again i suggest you check online yourself.  the web site green hulk also has a long list of people he has ripped off in the past in florida. don't be like me, check before you go into business with someone.

if anyone knows todd papajohn location i am offering a reward.  you can call me at 907-254-2261.  there are criminal cases pending against todd papajohn in lake havasu.  his rebuttal is some sort of sick way he tries to justify his stealing from me.  i don't want this to happen to anyone else, so watch out!

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company

Mark Johnson The worst partner ever

AUTHOR: real owner - (USA)

POSTED: Saturday, July 18, 2015

Number 1 im not a wanted criminal , Mr Johnson is a bad investor period,  he first invested 82,000 not 100k  and the agreement was on each unit sold he would get 5000 back a machine sold with he did so in reality he received 50k back  in money orders which by the company paying that huge influx of cash back in the first 90 days of business was a business killer i had to take out loans to survive. mr johnson was 25% owner and wanted 50% he had not met our llc agreements and failed to invest any operating capital . he took all the operating capital out the first three months and never reinvested  is that a good business partner . hes the worst guy to do business with. the company had great reviews and he rebuttal to survive was just dont pay the bills this guy is a world class moron . the banking info he provided is total lies he wasnt even a joint partner on the bank accounts .  he never even worked one day at the company and only visited 2 times in a year . his only concern was to get money back and not care about the company or its employees ....
