Misuse of Non-Profit org for own Profits – RazorJaw BBQ
Cleveland Vocational Industries, a NON-PROFIT for the benefit of the disabled, is the only organisation used by the owners of “RazorJaw BBQ” aka “Green Thumb Farm NC” in Shelby, North Carolina, for their FOR-PROFIT barbecue enterprise. According to the Secretary of State, Shonna Snyder and Ozz Torresbustillo are the owners of this company. They began cooking and selling their barbeque to the general public in July 2023 utilising the kitchen of Alli’s Cafe, which is owned by Cleveland Vocational and is completely tax exempt. The owner keeps every cent of the BBQ sales revenue for himself. It doesn’t all go to the nonprofit. However, they are supporting their business with all of the non-profit’s resources. incredibly unlawful and in violation of federal and state tax regulations. When questioned for their EIN number, they responded with profane language and threats of physical damage. This has sparked a lot of anger in the neighbourhood. Even though it is unlawful and they all know it is illegal, it appears like the owner of this firm knows the director of the organisation and is letting her use it as a favour.
