    +I was naive. That’s the short version.
    +
    +EJ was a co-organizer during the early NYC planning phase. We were building lineups together, coordinating with venues, doing the grunt work that turns an idea into an event. He was part of the team. I thought we were building something together.
    +
    +Then EJ stole money from my party. And brought people to intimidate me while he did it.
    +
    +* * *
    +
    +I’m not going to get into the specifics of the amount or the exact mechanics. What matters is the pattern: someone I trusted with operational access used that access to take what wasn’t theirs, then showed up with backup to make sure I couldn’t do anything about it in the moment.
    +
    +The theft forced a full restructure. I had to scrap the old team and rebuild from scratch. The people who were supposed to be partners became opps overnight. Not because of a disagreement or creative differences — because they stole from the project and then tried to intimidate their way out of accountability.
    +
    +That restructure is where the “biz first, friends last” philosophy was born. Not from a book or a podcast. From getting robbed by someone I called a collaborator.
