Howard Needle routinely cheats those he hires to do work from him out of the money they are due.
This includes writers, graphics people, editors, printers and others.
Detective work has unearthed an appearance that Howard Needle (together with one or more possible co-conspirators) are opening and closing fly-by-night magazines and walking off with the advertisers' dollars.
A slew of defrauded workers denounced Howard Needle, who gave to the press his excuse that one of his most recent magazines could not survive due to the economy. However, he told that same reporter he would immediately be starting a new magazine (and refused to tell the reporter the name of the new publication).
You can find that statement from him here:

Then here, one reads a report about an alleged threat of violence Howard Needle made against one of his victims:
"Another defendant, Howard Needle, allegedly threatened to put a victim
"in a wheelchair" if he didn't pay him money."

Clearly, Howard Needle is a criminal element, he will likely defraud you of your time and/or money; you should likely not run the risks of associating with him in business for any reason.
