This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Martin Gondra's greed and willingness to cut corners in the pursuit of money reflects on him as a man without character and unsurprisingly a man without success. He moves from state to state launching new magazines and as soon as the economy hits south he relocates to leech off of another place. Gondra boasts about having over 20 years of experience in L.A., Phoenix, and Las Vegas.. but had any of these enterprises been particularly successful, why would he be be in Colorado? Please do not conduct business with the individual who launched the Latin Playboy in America as well as Que Pasa and other Hispanic publications.. he only wants to tap into the English speaking market now not out of a genuine willingness to publish quality content, but out of pure greed.

I had the disgrace to work with this person Martin Gondra. if you are over seas and offer you job, DO NOT TAKE IT under any circumstances.
He hire people outside of USA and never pays.
Be careful Martin Gondra is very dangerous and use his religion.

Si este senor te ofrece trabajo NO LO ACEPTES, contrata personas fuera de USA para sus "negocios" en internet. TODO es un fraude.
Tengan mucho cuidado. A mi todavia me debe por trabajos realizados hace 6 anos.

I just had a phone call with him and he offers to move to Texas (where he is now) and work for him in the office, but I think is too soon for that, and then I read all these comments and others about him being a thief and more. Please, is this all true?

It's 100% true and he will keep sexually harassing you till he gets what he wants. Especially if you look attractive enough. I'm not going to say my name, but i worked for him as his secretary for a two weeks I was able to get away from him on time after getting some of my pay. Do Not Trust This Person "Martin Godra" is a thief, con-artist, and a scammer. He's currently in Houston, Texas right now if anyone who is seeing this he doesn't pay anyone overseas "Martin Godra" is 100% a fraud Be Warned! Any businesses who work for this scammer please do not publish any magazine from him! He will only take your money in pretense of being a luxury magazine "Luxcior" like he's circulating it throughout the city base on their income. He just pocket everything. I repeat "Do Not Do Business" with this scum it will only ruin your business integrity and reputation.

He leido todos los comentarios arriba, y estoy en total acuerdo con todos ustedes, este señor GONDRA es un ratero, abusivo, mentiroso que abusa de sus empleados, pero principalmente con las mujeres nos acosa sexualmente. Es una lastima que este delincuente siga por ahi haciendo daño junto a su equipo de complices: Magda Gondra (su esposa La Oaxaqueña) y Meinardo Martinez ( Su amigo y complice de muchos años El Cubano) otro depravado igual que el... Saludos y cuidense de este demonio que se escuda en su religion.

UPDATE:
Gondra has had several different aliases over the years and his newest one is "Martin Gondra Frediani"
He has used the following in the past:
Martin Gondra
Martin Adeo
Martin Adeo Gondra
Martin Adeodato Gondra

He is using the newest name to publish "Houston Latina" which is a mash up of LUXZIO/Que Pasa. You can see the digital version here: http://issuu.com/martinadeo/docs/houston_latina

His (multiple) Linkedin profiles are also full of baloney:
http://www.linkedin.com/pub/martin-gondra-frediani/75/774/72b
http://www.linkedin.com/pub/martin-gondra/66/983/521
http://www.linkedin.com/pub/martin-gondra/35/870/482

Slightly different name, still the same crook.

Martin Gondra entered into an advertising contract with my company in Colorado. He failed to deliver the promised advertisements, never responded to emails or phone calls, and has since disappeared. He is a total fraud. We are a small company and the exorbitant rate we paid for NO advertising really hurts.

I completely agree with the author above – Martin Adeo Gondra is a crook, a thief and a criminal!
All the issues and facts reported in the above complaint are true and I had a chance to witness Martin Gondra pulling off all the trickery, lies and unfairness described above on the employees. I was a witness to Martin Gondra’s unfair business practices, fraudulent behavior, his inappropriate behavior towards women employees in the form of open Sexual Harassement all of that the time that I worked for him in Denver, Colorado.

I am surprised that there is so few complaints on the Internet about his thievery – I know that a lot of former employees are still trying to collect their unpaid checks dealing with him directly – but it’s a waste of time and energy – he will not pay a cent! He hires desperate people, who are looking for any jobs – and in return for their good work – steals from them! I am also a victim of Martin Gondra’s fraud – he owes me money in the same manner that he owes to many of his former employees.

I am also surprised that authorities did not stop this crook – it’s high time, Martin Gondra is moving from state to state, avoiding fair punishment and this thief needs to be stopped!

Just an update:

Martin Gondra has closed his Colorado office and moved on to leech off his next city, Houston. Houston businesses, models and anyone even considering working for him, please take caution. He's left a nasty trail in Denver, Phoenix, Vegas, and Newport Beach. I won't go into details here but do your research. All of the negative reviews under "Flair Magazine" he's gotten are unfortunate but very much true. He's now operating as "LUXZIO Magazine".
