Description
Avery (Dharmendra) Patel told me he was an initial investor in the Pass Dispensary in Sheffield Mass. He told me they were opening up a second round of investment opportunities just for initial investors but that I could get in under his name. I had just received back pay from disability and was scared about finances so the opportunity sounded like something I couldn’t pass up. I had also suffered a brain injury in 2020… this happened in 2023. He always had an excuse as to why the paperwork hadn’t arrived, his lawyer was working on it, it was on its way, etc… I finally asked for my money back and he dragged that out for months. He finally told me he’d meet me at my bank with my money but to no surprise, he was a no show.
