State regulators say that a local Indian restaurant with one location used “half-truths and lies” to sell investors on its grandiose plans for a nationwide expansion before spending the $380,000 that shareholders invested on rent, operating costs and Ponzi-like payments. Through a pair of lawsuits it filed April 16, the Colorado Division of Securities is seeking to recover lost investor cash from The Bombay Group and securities broker Michael Bissonnette.

When Denver International Airport announced in 2015 that it was looking for a local company to build and operate a brewery inside the attached Westin hotel, it was big news. Not only would an onsite brewery highlight Colorado’s exploding craft beer scene, but it would also give DIA some cachet as one of the first and only airports to have a brewery physically located on its property. “It’s a chance to be unique and do something that someone else hasn’t done,” DIA’s then-senior vice president for concessions Neil Maxfield told Westword at the time, adding that the winning brewery would be required to make a signature IPA that would be served only at the airport.

New rules imposed by Denver and Colorado that require large buildings to reduce pollution will be too expensive and are at odds with federal regulations, groups representing owners and developers of office towers, hotels and apartment complexes allege in a lawsuit filed this week. The Colorado Apartment Association, the Apartment Association of Metro Denver, the Colorado Hotel and Lodging Association and NAIOP — an association representing commercial real estate developers — said the green-energy rules preempt a federal regulation that governs the quality and performance of new heating and cooling systems and other appliances in large apartment complexes, hotels and commercial office and retail buildings.
