The co-founders of Compass Coffee, a well-known coffee chain in Washington, D.C., have ended their partnership amid serious allegations. Harrison Suarez, one of the co-founders, has filed a lawsuit against his former business partner, Michael Haft, accusing him of fraudulently misusing pandemic relief funds. This lawsuit, filed on January 14, 2025, raises concerns about the company's reputation, which has been built on the narrative of two former Marines establishing a successful coffee franchise.
