I have been gathering very detailed evidence about what appear to be serious misrepresentations by Tradebank (and possibly many other of its franchisees), both before and after entering into a franchise agreement. Tradebanks franchise disclosure documents and related marketing materials are filled with unusually strong and detailed statements about earnings potential, growth potential, and so on. And Tradebank made very specific and detailed representations to me, via e-mails which I has saved, about the number of clients Tradebank Denver had, the value of those clients, volume of business, growth prospects, and so on. Ill give you a few examples: At the time I signed the agreement, Tradebanks marketing materials and disclosures touted the 70 markets that Tradebank was in. I have done a lot of research, and Tradebank`s records show that of those 70 markets they were touting, 44 (most of the 44 them had 3 members or less, some have 15 or less.
