Is CityGuru, Inc. caught in a tar pit of its own making? Is rescue on the way—or the saber-tooth tigers? Founder, Drew Morrison isn’t saying.
Following a rebuttal in the RipOff Report we learned that a new Judgment has just been awarded against CityGuru Founder, Drew Morrison. After obtaining public records for the Superior Court of King County, Seattle we learned the Judgement was awarded to the Plaintiff on August 27, 2015 but more disturbing than the actual amount of the award plus damages were the Court’s own Findings of Facts/Conclusions of Law which supported allegations of the Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint 13-2-03663-1 SEA including fraud, misrepresentation, conversion, breach of contract, criminal profiteering and violation of the Washington Consumer Act!
What does this mean to the CityGuru Investors/shareholders? How will this impact us and the direction of the company moving forward? We now wonder if we, as a company, are not already feeling the side effects of Founder Drew Morrison’s long standing litigation woes. The CityGuru Website has been disabled for weeks, and no business activity seems apparent since late July, 2015. The last CityGuru event was the SeaFair, Seattle event in which seems to have produced little or no customer turnout, meaning: no revenue. And CityGuru’s typically chatty Facebook or Twitter accounts have grown eerily silent in recent weeks.
This raises serious concerns into the fiscal health of CityGuru, Inc.—and investors’ funds. Is CityGuru still in operation? Is it still breathing? Or is it simply wallowing in the quigmire created by its own founder? Drew Morrison is offering no comments, nor are his two most recently appointed CityGuru Directors, Michael Elliott and Jeffery Coon.
While no formal statements seem forthcoming from Drew Morrison, Elliott or Coon, we fear CityGuru may be experiencing the same fate as Drew Morrison’s previous business venture, Path Investments Group, LLC. In that 2011 venture, Drew Morrison seems to have abruptly–and inexplicably–abandoned his company Path Investments Group, LLC and its investors only to immediately startup On The Go Technologies, LLC , later changing its name to CityGuru, Inc.
If Drew Morrison and officers have abandoned CityGuru, Inc. what recourse do the Investors have to their invested funds? What recourse will Shareholders have to their equity in the company? Bruce Danielson, of Danielson Law Office and attorney for the Plaintiff and expert in Drew Morrison-CityGuru, Inc. business practices says CityGuru Investors and Shareholders face a formidable task of getting back their money since it has long been a practice of Drew Morrison-CityGuru in not keeping accounting or corporate records, including stock journal or certificates for Shareholders.
It is our hope that Founder Drew Morrison will surface soon with an explanation, and he is certainly invited to share his open forum with this site.
During his May, 2015 deposition, founder Drew Morrison named Michael Elliott (left) and Jeffery Coon (right) as Directors of CityGuru, Inc. saying they were appointed to their posts earlier in the year. Despite repeated requests, both officers have declined to confirm their titles or to comment regarding CityGuru’s mysterious cease of operations.

I bought off on the promises. Everything would be paid, we would make money, we were on the “ground floor” of the next big thing, etc. I was warned and I didn’t listen, at least to the right people. Drew owes almost a million dollars to one creditor, and he has other smaller judgments he cannot pay. Cityguru does not appear to exist anymore. My bet is Drew will say, like he did in the lawsuit with this other guy, that he does not owe the money, the corporation owes the money. Not sure Cityguru has been operated as a corporation and Drew should be held responsible. He was held responsible in the other lawsuit despite the claim of some type of protection against personal liability. I am thinking about hiring this attorney to give me a hand with a claim against Drew. I can’t rely upon Drew’s promises and I do not like someone taking my money for heavens knows what.
All of you realize that elephant is a CityGuru Shareholder standing on the shoulders of another CityGuru Shareholder just beneath the surface; standing on the shoulders of yet another one even deeper in the muck. Meanwhile your founder is doing his infamous Alfred E. Nueman (MAD) shrug, mumbling: “What–Me Worry?”
Question: Why is Drew Morrison still walking the street? It’s only a matter of time before he blows through all the funds (if he hasn’t already) and he’ll start looking for other targets.
Alex,
Don’t tell us what we are already painfully aware of. There is a very high probability that nothing will be done and Drew Morrison will continue “business as usual”. All we can ask is that you contact the appropriate Washington State authorities with any and all information you may have regarding investment dealings with Drew Morrison. We are doing what we can but the “System” works very slowly and is not very effective with individuals who can talk circles around it. Help us.
It seems the only people who went down the Tar Pit were the people who trusted and believed in Drew Morrison. It seems he’s taken off for the hills at the first sign of trouble. Great guy!
