A ‘perfect storm’
In separate interviews
with The Dispatch, Ed-
wards and Richardson
said J5 accrued tax liens
in 2017 because the com-
pany chose to pay its em-
ployees instead of the IRS.
Richardson said that
year the company did not
take on any major proj-
ects, but continued to pay
its employees full salary
and benefits in spite of the
fact many of them weren’t
working. He said the com-
pany preferred that op-
tion over furloughing or
laying off employees, and
the plan was to repay the
IRS when work picked up
again — which happened
in 2018.
Richardson said J5 has

North Atlantic employs
about 175.

ute video posted on J5’s
Facebook page Tues-
day, Edwards said 2017
brought a “perfect storm”
for the company, and ac-
knowledged the financial
woes it caused.
“There were times we
got late on bank notes,”
Edwards said in the video.
“I’ve got behind on taxes,
had some tax liens and
even had a tax levy during
that time. ... I made sure
that even if I didn’t take a
check home, (J5 employ-
ees) were going to take a
check home.
“A lot of times, during
that time...even though
people saw me smile, I
was crying on the inside,
because I was holding on.
But I didn’t know what
I was holding on to,” he
added.
However, Edwards as-
sured video viewers his
companies were on strong
footing.
“For J5, going through
