Denver restaurant faces foreclosure as contractor reports $330,000 bookkeeper theft

Original headline: The Docket: Real estate lawsuit roundup for 8.20.26

Why this matters

A Denver restaurant called Pop Denver is now in foreclosure proceedings, and a separate Colorado contractor discovered its bookkeeper stole $330,000 before anyone caught it. These are not isolated flukes. Foreclosure usually follows months of missed payments that were masked by cash flow confusion, and internal bookkeeper theft almost always hides in the gap between what invoices say and what actually hits the bank. For an indie operator, both scenarios share the same root: nobody was reconciling the commitments against the actual money moving.

What to do

Pull your last 90 days of bank statements and compare every outgoing payment to a signed invoice or contract line item before your next close.
