Java Jo'z Controversy Gaining Attention Via Blogs

According to Ben Scoble, he paid a $30,000 refundable downpayment for a Java Jo'z drive-thru coffee franchise.  He was unable to find a location but, according to Scoble, the company will not refund his deposit.

Others in the same situation may have had to suffer in silence, but not Scoble.  Ben Scoble's brother is prominent Tech Blogger Robert Scoble, author of the high-traffic Scobleizer blog.  His post about his brother's woes sparked widespread coverage of the controversy, and the issue took the top positions of search engine results for "Java Jo'z"
