John Krueger and I have "History" Reply to his garbage comments below
My FIRST Hand Impression is that John is a Passive Aggressive COWARD who BAILS when things get tough...I don't!
I have worked for him twice...Last time I worked for him was odd, including him walking into my office and pulling his pants down to "show me his Underwear! STRANGE!
John Krueger would also make comments about my physic, odd stuff like he could tell I worked out because of the veins in my arms, I WAS uncomfortable but did not feel I could say anything to HR and did not want to get John in trouble...If it were today, I would NOT have put up with any of this from John Krueger!
I quit because I knew he did not have a clue what he was doing and was going to get fired and take us down too...SURE Enough, 4 mos. later he was CANNED!
Fellow former employees said they saw him crying in the parking lot!
John and I saw each other at a Trade show roughy a year later, John acted Like I had something to do with his getting fired...I DO NOT! John was incompetent and it was all on him!
I made the right call to leave. Working directly with the client to ship and resolve all issues!
Scammed by a friend!
Fast forward to February of 2022. My customer, in good faith, paid Lynn $22,456.79 in deposit money beginning in April of 2021. To this date, almost a full year later, Lynn has shipped a total of “ZERO” production garments to my customer. All they have received are photo samples and a set of size samples for approval. And for the past 6 months, Lynn has been promising that the order is in work. The order is coming. And then for the past month, there is radio silence. No answering of texts, phone calls, emails. Total radio silence. The only time Lynn ever called me back was when I left a voice message using my wife’s phone that he did not recognize, and left a fictitious name. He called me back right away, and being the fraud that he has become, he acted totally normal and unfazed when he found out the caller was actually me an not the fake name of a potential customer.
You think you know someone and then they lie right to your face, refuse your calls, and pocket a good customers money.. How can someone like this look at themselves in the mirror. Well, what goes around, comes around, and Lynn’s charade will come crashing down.
Lynn of Factory Artwear is any entrepreneur's worst nightmare
I needed Lynn to make me some cut and sew hoodies. As soon as 50% of the total cost was sent to him, my nightmarish experience with this psychopath began. Endless excuses and lies used to exploit my desperation and hope of getting what we paid for.
It's 2022 and I still haven't received my hoodies, nor the money I paid him to do the work. He seems to have done this a lot. I have never met anyone so calm at the mention of legal action. He seemed to know that legal action will be quite expensive.
I don't know how this individual has been allowed to scam small businesses for this long. But, I'd like to put a stop to it.
Maybe things will go better if all his victims met to form a class-action lawsuit against him and possibly his friend Danny of GPI, whom I believe is fully aware of this scam.
Please reach out if you are interested in getting this started.
We're in the same situation and happy to chat. Hit me up [email protected]
He will seem like a very trustworthy, kind, believable guy. He will tell you he can do it. He will encourage you to increase your order, and feel like the cheerleader you always wanted. Then, he will ask you to wire money at a 50% deposit. From there, it's downhill. You may never receive samples. You sure will not receive them on time. You likely will never receive you inventory, and if you do, it will cost you months of your life, fighting for deadlines, fighting to be heard, with him evading texts, emails, and calls. Truly, he is difficult to catch, because he is a master. Then, if you're able to get ANYTHING back (ie any references, fabric, patterns), they will be useless. You'll have to start over.
No contract will save you. No court case will save you. Once you wire your money, it is gone. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES engage with him or his business (Factory Artwear Inc.). He files bankruptcy and changes business names to avoid these searches coming up. He also takes business through his friend that runs Graphic Print Industries... you'll think they're associated. They're not. Avoid, avoid, avoid - or light your money and time on fire and watch it burn. This man's living is earned from taking entrepreneur's savings and not delivering.
Her functioning prototype garments that she was wearing in the factory before she pulled a “Fatal Attraction” in me at the factory and told me she was going to go damage me online! We worked in
Good faith, Being more selective with who we work with after her profanity laced spitting tirade at the factory! Bad news all around! Artwear
Total money lost $4,141.75

Lynn uses a 30-day no refund policy on a contract which he will con you into signing, then he disappears as contact is avoided until you get to the 30 days at which point you are up a creek. He will not take payment via any other form than a wire transfer and will tell you "you transferred your money to me at your own free will".
Good luck prosecuting at the police level as they will all defer you to a civil suit... in which case if you do not live in L.A. you will spend endless money trying to collect in the courts... at which point he will just file bankruptcy and start a new business.
This guy knows the loopholes and will do ANYTHING to get your money only to defraud you. If you're a business... even worse.
Buy from someone else or you have just donated to the same scheme he has run on multiple victims time and time again.
Every thing that is posted about him is true. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS [censored]! It has taken me several years to recover from what he did to me financially and mentally. He is not a good person and I’m saddened for anyone that calls him son, partner, brother, or father.
(He is a psychopath and don’t believe and of his responses to the claims made about him. He tries to weave stories to refute the claims against him.)
After I placed the review on Marker’s Row in 2018, he finally responded and we came to an agreement that he was going to return my money. He then threatened to not return my money unless I altered the review. It seemed that he used this strategy on others that had reviewed him on that website. I wished I had seen “those” reviews before I engaged in working with him. Enclosed are some of our text messages. I never received my product and he never responded to a legal notice I sent him.
