It wasn't quite that direct - Valmont Auto Parts, a salvage yard, wanted to sell the land for private development but due to contamination issues was restricted. The City of Boulder ended up buying the land at a fraction of the asking price and eventually developed the Pearl St. Mall where Access Graphics was located. John Ramsey never personally "ripped off" the Helgoth family but I can see where Helgoth could feel Ramsey profited at the Helgoth's expense, AG being the billion-dollar tenant on what was formerly the Valmont property.
