One user referred to the people who are still waiting to be paid by Gorga, "Imagine all the contractors that have done their house and they see this on IG "
Another user asked, "Why would anyone do business with this man. He owes money to everyone."
One user questioned the entire enterprise, "Does he just go to new business plans to hid dumpster fires of his last venture?"
Another user quipped, "Isn’t he being sued by a bunch of contractors for not paying his bills? Not exactly the kind of spokesman you’d think a law firm would want…"
One user declared, "Sounds like a scam."
Another user remarked, "Mark my words: jail is coming for him and karma is coming for her!!"

Teresa Giudice blames Joe Gorga for $250K business deal gone wrong
Earlier this year, Giudice claimed on 'RHNOJ' that Gorga was responsible for her husband Luis Ruela losing over $250K after a deal they were interested in went downhill.
She disclosed that Gorga had pitched them the idea of investing in a pizza oven. However, as the finer details were being etched out, Gorga allegedly wanted a larger share of the pie.
The percentage he demanded was not acceptable by Ruela's standards and therefore the deal didn't transpire.
