not sure what this site is worth, was directed here from a stock blog.....regardless, I have done six separate deals with Barry over the past 14 years, some worked out well, some didn't - I've made some money and lost some money, but in all my dealings with him he has never lied to me, and he has always backed up his word even when it hurt him personally financially.

Without question, he is brilliant - truly brilliant - and has the big picture vision on how to direct a company towards accomplishing extraordinary things. With that said, his weakness is in his attention to details. He is a big picture guy, but so long as he surrounds himself with good admin people, he will most likely be remembered for something extraordinary some day.

just my two cents

Barry Henthorn, if you know anything about him, report it to the appropriate authorities. I can't wait for the day he lands in jail.

I have worked for Barry as a barista. The company has no idea what they are doing, complete morons. They do not keep the stand stocked w coffee even, we were constantly running out. When people tried to quit they would never get a paycheck and Barry would say they weren't getting one because they stole....okey I can see maybe one or two but I saw too many for just everyone they hired to be stealing! Every single paycheck bounced. Payday consists of racing your coworkers to the bank, and getting creative with where to try to cash. Often places would recognize the checks, even Walmart....a lot of girls have racked up fees with banks, and check cashing places. On a personal note when I did see Barry (when he wasn't hiding from paychecks and supplies) he would show up to the stand drunk blabbing about how all these "big things" were going to happen with our stock and how this was such a great opportunity. I never completely figured out what the deal is with them, but I am sure he's coming out well at the cost of all his employees. SHADY.
