BRATTLEBORO â A law firm representing the court-appointed receiver of Koffee Kup Bakery and its affiliated companies called pay issues reported by former employees and news outlets âa misconception.â
âNo funds were removed from any employee accounts,â the Albany, N.Y. based law firm of Nolan Heller Kauffman LLP, which is representing receiver Ronald Teplitsky, said in a news release issued Tuesday.
Instead, the firm says employees received less in their accounts or in their paychecks than the company initially said would be paid.
Former employees in Brattleboro and Burlington locations previously described being paid for vacation time not used then having it taken out of their bank accounts last week after facilities abruptly closed on April 26 due to financial issues.

SARATOGA SPRINGS - The Patel family that owns several Golden Corral restaurants and the Comfort Inn & Suites in Saratoga Springs are turning the tables on their bank, which had sued the Patels for allegedly misusing federal pandemic relief loan funds.
Adirondack Trust Co. of Saratoga Springs sued clients Niral and Nirmala Patel back in October, alleging that the pair had misappropriated nearly $2 million in loans their businesses received from the Paycheck Protection Program, part of the federal government s COVID-19 stimulus program.
The suit, filed in state Supreme Court in Albany County, alleged that the Patels (Nirmala is the mother of Niral) used the PPP loan proceeds to pay personal expenses. The loans were designed by Congress to be used by businesses to keep employees on their payroll during government-mandated lockdowns and a loss of business due to the pandemic.
