Subject- Greg Englehardt from St Thomas Island "Off The Grid" purchased 2 items from a manufacturing plant I own. He claims 4? However he bought two from us and requested we find him two others to buy. We built 1 food truck and 1 mobile fish fabrication trailer.
He claims CFB delayed him and caused him severe stress and it was a "nightmare". The fact is Greg delayed his own jobs. By not having money, not being organized, and changing his mind countless times. He was broke and stressed out due to all his delays. He asked CFB for 15-19k cash or he would attack like he saw others do on the internet. CFB retained our company attorney on the matter and denied his cash. Greg never one time sent CFB any material or receipts that would even spark a warranty claim much less 15-19K in cash.
In this blog I talk about this sort of attack. Its not really meant towards the Company it is more directed towards me. He feels attacking me is easy since there is this horrible internet attack on me.
So he he decides to attack a company that did over 3 million in gross sales last year and services in all over 500 customers. CFB is one of the largest manufacturing plants of its kind on the east coast. Running two shifts we work 20 hours out of every 24. When Greg came to our plant he was blown away by the craftsmanship and projects being done. I will upload plant 1 and 2 on this site next week so you can see it.
He only changed his mind when we was put into a position where people were pointing the figure at him. He could not handle that and had to blame someone else. You can clearly see in the emails below he started off by blaming his bank. Not one time during any of this did Greg actually say "Its my fault" take responsibility.
Greg Changed his work order 3 times, had no money for the first 90 plus days of the projects and CFB had no choice but to put his jobs on idle.
Greg lied throughout the entire build. Not really a major deal, we just finally placed his job on hold. I spoke to his banker and both of us agreed Greg was young and not used to making big decisions. He had really messed this deal up and he had put himself behind 3 months. Read the emails below and you will see Greg admitting and even welcoming the "Job on Idle agreement" during which he went on vacation?
Greg is not entitled to his own facts. He has claimed many things mainly just trying to jump on the band wagon. He claims his truck was built by "High School Shop Students" What do you think! I will also start up loading the facts 100% showing this guy is not only wrong but his intentions are clear. Hurt a company and me. (Any High School shop student that can do this CFB will hire you starting 22.00 per hour :)
We will start with photo's! Here is a simple before and after showing our amazing work and ability. This is Greg's Actual Truck.
So we said we would place the items in the mini truck which is a small jap pick up. It's still here based on the fact Greg has not paid to ship it. During this entire Project Greg had massive money problems. His loans were 2-3 months late. On a 4-6 week build project of course it was late when the guy had no money for 90 days over twice the build time. Once the money came in we still had to do the job. Of COURSE it was late
CFB Myself and Larry worked very hard trying to keep this project moving. At one point the payments were about 8 weeks late and CFB sent an email to Greg stating per our agreement the project is going on idle until payment is made. CFB was very worried we had 20-30k over his deposit into the jobs. So CFB Paid out 20-30k to keep it moving. At this point we were very afraid we would not be getting paid. What sparked this email and decision from CFB was the fact we were trying to get Greg on the phone. He finally emailed us and stated and I will post the email " I cannot do anything until the bank spreads there F-ing legs and gives birth to my money". We spoke to his bank and they stated Greg had not giving then the proper paper work for the loan. Then Greg said " I'm Going to another island and I am going Budda Monk" I will not pick up my phone i'll be on a short vacation".
We felt this was very unprofessional, we were very stressed out and we had 10's of thousands of our money poured into this job. We felt if the customer cares that little about there project we have no choice but to put he job on idle and engage that section of our contract. Which also called for a 1.5 daily interest rate on the remaining 85k owned. CFB waived the interest. If we were trying to hurt Greg we would have charged him the almost 30k in interest. CFB has never had to put a job on idle until Greg. It was his lack of concern that made this job late.
Greg Responded and I will post the email a very kind apology to CFB. Stating it was his fault and mainly the banks for this 90 day delay that we were true professionals and he was very thankful. That's very different from what he claims on his postings.
Stay tuned for the emails to be uploaded next. I will photo them from my computer so no one can say I wrote them. They come from the horses mouth.
Zach Singleton.
PS- There is ways to cause delays at CFB and sometimes they fall on us. But normally its one of three.
1. Graphics
2. Change orders
3. Payments
Greg had 2 out of three.
This is an email very early in the project from Greg. I copied and pasted from my email. This shows he new all along about the internet it was not new to him. Also it shows he was excited to do business and it shows HE Caused the DELAYS from the start. Why can't people just tell the truth? This was Sept 19th
1 month into the project Greg still has no money to complete it. He also promises gives his word that the funds will be in on Monday. This went on for 2 months.
Zack,
I have good news and bad news:
Good news, is that as I mentioned last week- we are approved for additional funds
(on the day we finally submitted the lawyers Internet slander explination)- and
excited to spend it with you :)
Bad news- our wire request had been denied at this point, due to closing proceedures
on the new loan. We did not foresee the extended time period between
approval/closing/deposit. We think we will be ready to rock (in full) on
Monday, but won't know until we hear from our bank.
Although at this point the additional funds are not ready to transfer at this exact
moment- I ASSURE you we have been officially approved for the entire balance, and a
whole lot more. There is NO CHANCE the money is not approved/available- its just
going to har to wait until after the weekend.
Sorry for the delay/inconvenience. At this point, there is nothing I can do to
speed things up at the bank... Lord knows I tried (and drove them crazy today). We
understand this will pause progress and realize any delays to the goals are due to
our poor money management.

This one is him changing is kitchen again he write its the final, But I am about to show that is false also. This is on the 22 of Sept as he starts changing the job a month into the project. Still no money and changes being made. We should have had this job done within another 7 days. Back to the drawing board and no funds to work with.
Please draw up a new schematic covering the food truck setup, with the most recent (and final) equipment and layout changes. lets please make this a detailed oriented drawing, as it will serve as final "inspection" regarding the finalized equipment list and their placement. I will review it the minute I get it- sign off on it, agreeing that all things are final- and shut my mouth... let you guys do your thing and get the trucks on island selling product :) Please see the truck layout in two sections (and i think we all do)- Bar in front half and kitchen in back half. Bar will serve drinks, snow cones and act as cashier/register Kitchen will cook, assemble and serve food to the guests. Draw a line across the truck where the wood bar meets the exhaust hoods. Lets view the work areas in those two separate areas for sake of evaluation. Im affraid that the truck is lacking some cold storage. Wether it is in the way of large igloo storage on the floor under the window side counter space? The bar is for sure lacking fridge space. we are planning on 50 beers and 100 bottled waters a day. Thoughts? I didnt ask about the 7 bakers racks. Do we agree to lessen the racks in leu of 40 sheet trays? Thanks (im not a drawer, but Im going to do a quick drawing to represent what I think we have so far- and what we could need for cooler storage... for whatever its worth) Greg Engelhardt is......off the grid... sent from my food truck
Below still no loan and Greg is thanking CFB for our work. This is all a smoke screen Greg still at this point has not given the bank the docs they need. He's stalling, but more important he is delaying his project. He knows he is causing delays which is a far cry from what he posted on the internet trying to hurt our reputation and business.
Thank you Oleta, I have forwarded the docs to the bank, and seems like this will complete the "package" we need to get the closing done today!!!! AMEN! we have a meeting with the "high ups" today at 3:30 and will sign the paperwork and get the wire on its way under the supervision of the VIP bank personal that can insure a quick transfer (quick as possible). We understand completely if the money continues to drag the holdup that will occur. Whitney and I greatly appreciate the diligence of the CFB team to move forward while our loan case is pending. It was their enthusiasm and expertise that revved us up enough to go back and get more money to blow this thing up! Last month, the bank requested a documentation from CFB that unfortunately took many weeks... they have not let me forget this... we appreciate CFB buying us time now on this side of the process now that the process is nearly complete. Ill send you a message after our meeting- as soon as we know one way or another Greg Engelhardt is......off the grid... sent from my food truck
OK below is my favorite! He admits its his fault (his banks fault) thanks us again, embraces fees (we never charged him) and claims he is going on vacation! Yes this is dated Oct 2nd 2 months into his build he still has no money. But we delayed his 4 week build agreement??? Again nothing this guy says is based on fact. It's based on his emotions and nothing more. So when you read his post and you read this blog the TRUTH sets you free! CFB sent him a letter stating his job would be on idle per our construction master agreement. We knew we needed to document this case in writing and I am glad we did. Below is his response. When he states "Lets please respect the project on hold" He means please stop calling me and emailing me daily trying to keep the project moving. See Greg went off the grid we could not get the guy to pick up the phone.
Morning Gentlemen,
I am the first to realize (and be experiencing) the interruption of my business
start up due to this huge inconvenience from my bank.
It was stated clearly and professionally that the project has been delayed, remove
from the line and other projects taking its place. We understand completely and
will embrace any finance/interest fees that occur from this frustrating scenario.
We have no choice.
Until the bank spreads their fucking legs and gives birth to the money the approved
me for now over 3 weeks ago- I sit and wait and try not to blow shit up. Hopefully
that day is today- but I've been thinking that for weeks now... So I'm letting go
until the damn thing happens.
Until then, let's please respect the "project on hold" arrangement. Whitney and I
have taken a little mini trip to a neighboring island- where we will stay
(OffTheGRiD) until the bank calls us into the office to do the deed.
You will be the FIRST CALL I make when the bank gets their head out of their ass...
Believe me! Until then, I'm going "Buddha monk".
(Then we can trade some pictures for the $70k+ we owe ya)

On Oct 2, 2012,
OK there is a little fact for anyone to review! So Did CFB cause Gregs "Nightmare" or did his bank? Or did Greg? Talking to the bank the day this email was sent to my office they claimed Greg still had not given them all the docs for the loan. He was not approved.
Also Greg Clearly blames the bank not CFB. Above he admits its not our fault, we are "Professional"? Again he is posting a very different story now. America this is what I am talking about. People lie and people spread lies simply trying to hurt me. It's old news really I have been dealing with it for a long time. However the new part is I am fighting back. This company, myself and Larry will all three file against Greg for his liable and hurtful tactics. Also I have this blog to share the TRUTH. Never before have I done this. But now anyone and everyone who claims something I will POST the TRUTH.
I will also post our emails to Greg Begging him to call us or let us help him. Thank you America
Zach Singleton
Added at 530pm about to leave my office.
Greg stated on a posting that his trailer had damage and he claims CFB did it. I don't know about that. Greg up loaded the photo of damage in his yard. I copied the photo and I am about to upload it to this site. Greg hired a private shipping company to haul the trailer out of our property OK. That means once he hooks up to it its not our problem. But we did take our own photo of it hitting the ground. It did scrape and we photographed it but there was no damage at all. See for yourself America. Another example of Greg Englehardt not being truthful.
This is Gregs Photo claiming this is how it left our plant????
This is only a tiny bit of the emails and photo's we have. I will post more next week. CFB is 100% transparent and has an amazing track record in this industry.
This is the actual photo of the interior of the fish fab trailer. Finished and ready for transport. Below is the photo Greg posted online stating "This is how it came" Bold lie. The photo Greg posted is when his family came up to have a meeting trying to get his projects back on track. At the point he arrived he still had no money.
Greg has been called out for his attacks and the TRUTH is posted on this site. Greg has lied, mislead and has posted liable statements about myself and this company. He claims he has posted nothing but facts. 100% nothing Greg has stated is a fact, minus his name and his personal info. Greg wanted 19k cash in my opinion tried to extort money from a company he knew had it and also would want to avoid being trashed on the internet. He used me being a victim of cyber attacks already has is ace in the hole. It back fired!
Zach
Some Photo's of our plant and work!
These are a few shots of the work that is done at CFB. I will photo the shop Weds of this week that being 1/23/13 and I will share with America some current jobs. We have about 3 franchise jobs in the shop, 3-4 Food trucks, and about 3 other trailers. We like to get out 6-10 jobs per week if our production is running smooth. We run two shifts starting in March to keep up with the demand. We try and do each job in a 4 week window. Our shop is Always FULL!
As you can see we do not play around in this business. We are one of the top manufactures in the industry. Our work as you can see is second to none. We also build for dozens of top franchises in the country.
Below is updated info on Greg
This guy is indeed cyber stalking at this point. He is harassing myself, family and businesses on a daily basis. He claims freedom of speech but he is grossly wrong. You have freedom of speech, but you cannot for example run into a mall and yell "Fire"
If your posting are intended to hurt someone financially or there character etc. You begin breaking the other civil rights and laws that protect all of us in this country.
Greg claims he is a professional? He claims allot of stuff but so far not one thing he has posted is even close to the truth. His food truck did indeed burn down. However in the above emails he himself says he mad and trying not to blow stuff up? His generator had also been worked on by a non authorized party and he sent us an email asking us to replace it because it was broke, then he asked us to pay him back because he bought a new one. Days later a generator he claims caught fire and burnt down his truck? Again nothing this guys says is truthful.
Below is a copy of his latest email. Clearly this guy has emotional issues and is out to cause pain.
My attorney is on this and he will be handled in a professional manner. In the mean time we continue to build and produce quality.
He claims in this email we took 4 months? We held up his job, we are blanks? Above you read where Greg blames his bank with the same passion. We were good guys? This is why I say some people not all but some lose touch with reality and start acting crazy.
His email is very foul and I am only posting it to show the "professional" side of Greg. This company has tried everything to figure out what this guy wants. On the complaint wire many customers have stated this guy is a liar and not telling the truth about our company.
here is his latest email
You see where he stops attacking the company or Larry one of the owners and points everything to me. Why? I did not install his fryer? Because am the easier target. He feels attacking me is OK since others have. So the world might not believe CFB did anything or Larry but Zach did it for sure. Its a cowards approach but that's Greg. No one stole anything from this guy. He's attacking me for money. He has requested 19k several times. So gang up on me and the world will believe it.
Greg I forgive you but you will indeed regret your liable postings and harassing emails.
Greg does not have an attorney or at least not a good one. How do I know that? No attorney would allow there client to do this. They would quickly say "have no more contact" Do not post anything. Of course they would. Greg is getting bar room law advice and its going to cost him.
Sorry it's all come to this Larry. You seemed to be a good guy, and trying to run a
respectable business.
It's clear to me it's far from respectable- and far from legitimate. I'm sorry it's
come to this. I've lived life honest and respectful for 35 years. I've traveled
all over the world- worked for for dozens of world renowned companies... And done
business with all walks of life. I have no choice but to follow this through to the
very end. Sorry guys- I put up quite a fight, and don't loose- ever.
My business experience with your company- CFB MANUFACTURING was the most despicable
act of malfunction I've ever experienced- and the hundreds I've shared my story with
agree. I LOVE telling everyone I know how fucked up it was, how much you stole from
us- and all the bullshit you fed us. I talk about it every day. i love the story
more and more every day. its so amazing there are still people like zack out there
getting by. It's too bad, even if you where trying to do the right thing- that now
you are guilty by association. That's how it's works sir. You laid it all out for
the world to see. I am your CFB ambassador. Consider it a fair trade for the tens
of thousands you stole from us. "Internet stalking" crap can't slow this train down
sir :)
Zack ass fucked my family and I. He felt no shame fucking us day after day, even
when we where so far desperate and almost rock bottom. You'll be happy to know we
used his uncanny lack of any human thread of decency he showed near and at the end
of our business deal to rally back and rebuild stronger than ever!!! We are kicking
ass here in st thomas, sharing our triumph over CFB's ass fucking- and enjoying our
new truck after your piece of shit burnt to the ground after the faulty generator
instal went up in flames. Nice work you rednecks!
I built a better truck in less than a month, than your team took over 4 months to
shit together. HAHAHAA. You must be so proud!
Not sure if you caught the bubba love sponge trial, jury ruled on this week-
protecting our first amendment of speech? It clearly preserves our right to speak
the truth when and where we want :). My story is a doozie!!!
I am looking forward to sharing the truth about the multiple lawsuits coming your
way, and the truths behind the almost dozen families CFB has ass fucked in the past
year (and a few coming back to speak up about dude singleton's BS in the recent
past). I am passionate, and LOVE to dedicate my emotion to a good cause. I can't
wait to share with you the world wide coverage ill share with your company when your
horrific product and experience you provided us, and so many more.
Isn't Facebook wonderful?!?!
Zack, you are a piece of work! I'm proud to finally be the very last asshole you
fuck over :). Internet stalking... What a pussy!!!! You should try making an
honest living like the rest of us. You will sleep so much better, and not have to
hide/defend yourself for the rest of your life. Not my place to give advise, and
considering I think you are a piece of dog shit- it's not worth my time to advise
you anyway. So... Keep on keeping on, and lie in the bed you made :)
We are off the grid, no thanks to you and your half ass company. We are some of the
most competent and recognizable people you've ever dealt with. Enjoy the publicity.
See ya soon CFB :)
(I'm sitting here in paradise, laughing to myself, knowing how many letters you've
received like this. I know you've blown them all off- continuing to sell cheap
shit, and ducking families over like nothing was going to come of it. WOW- how
stupid could crooks be??)
PS- I kind of wish you provided us with the generator you assholes fucked up on the
trailer: maybe that piece of shit would have burnt to the ground too. It would
have been a blessing in disguise!! What a piece of shit you make!!!!!!

I assure you Greg could not come up with an email like that from me.
Greg is stating he is suing CFB? Well not yet he's not. He did have an attorney
call us and even send us a letter asking for some money for Greg. The problem was
he had not seen any of the emails from Greg admitting all the delays we on him. Not
too mention we informed the attorney how wonderful it is Greg is attempting such a feat
Based on the fact we will have Greg here to hold him accountable for his liable attacks
Let Greg spend the 20k taking us to court then hand him our claims.
I'm good with it either way America. I have no problem showing the truth. Its very easy
Greg on the other hand has told so many lies he forgets them.
Again myself and this company are not above making a mistake, but we are above
this mess. If there is a mistake made we take care of it. I will post the the emails
we have sent Greg asking "What can we Do"? How can we help? He never sent us anything
to go on. He just wanted money.
We build and sell units everyday which is awesome! Thanks America
