Chapman's Eat Market in German Village to close after five years

Yahoo10-07-2025
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Chapman's Eat Market, a German Village eatery from the Columbus restaurateur couple behind Ginger Rabbit Jazz Lounge, is closing after five years in business.
Husband-and-wife duo B.J. Lieberman and Bronwyn Haines announced on social media last week that Chapman's at 739 S. Third St., which opened in 2020, is permanently shuttering at the end of August. The couple said, as the restaurant nears its fifth birthday and the end of the lease, they 'were faced with the difficult decision on whether or not to continue.'

'Inevitably, we chose to finish our story on a high note, celebrating all that we have accomplished and created over the years and within these walls, including the team that we've built and the memories we made,' the social media post said.

Lieberman was one of two Columbus chefs named among the semifinalists for last year's James Beard Awards, prestigious national honors that recognize talent in the culinary and food media industries. He and Haines also launched Ginger Rabbit at 17 Buttles Ave. in 2022, and most recently opened Metsi's Wood-Fired Italian at 36 E. Lincoln St. last month.
Chapman's, named among the New York Times' best U.S. restaurants in 2021, is home to a curated menu of appetizers, salads, pastas and entrees, like Levantine cod, smoked Cornish game hen, and a 6-ounce beef tenderloin. Sides, like beef fat fries and wilted green beans, round out the menu.

Lieberman and Haines said Chapman's final day of service will be announced in August. Until then, the restaurant is open 5 to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 5 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
'We hope each and every one of you will join us for a final meal before we say goodbye — whether it's your last general tsos cauliflower, khao soi or maple budino, we look forward to serving and celebrating with you,' the social media post said.

Reeves to visit Cornish tin mine due to be revived

Rachel Reeves will visit a tin mine due to be reopened with government backing during a trip to Cornwall. The Chancellor said the £28.6 million National Wealth Fund investment to Cornish Metals, which is seeking to reopen the South Crofty tin mine, could create up to 1,300 jobs. The Chancellor will also visit other Cornish businesses and will hail plans to cut red tape that aim to boost the region's pubs, clubs, restaurants and cafes by allowing more al fresco dining and longer opening hours. 'Despite having so much potential to grow, Cornwall has been neglected by successive governments, and its families and businesses have suffered as a result,' the Chancellor said. 'Like in every part of the UK, I am determined to unlock growth that creates jobs and puts more money in Cornish people's pockets. 'Our investment to revive Cornwall's proud tin mining industry and the thousands of jobs it will create for years to come is one way we are renewing the county.' The reopening of the mine itself is expected to create more than 300 jobs and the Treasury estimates the mine could create 1,000 more as it fuels supply chains in the UK with needs for metal fabricators and electricians. It would support the UK's domestic tin supply amid increased demand for use in solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles, semi-conductors and energy storage increases. Don Turvey, chief executive of Cornish Metals, said: 'We are honoured to welcome the Chancellor to South Crofty and proud to showcase the significant progress we're making as we move toward production. 'The UK Government's £28.6 million investment via the National Wealth Fund is a powerful vote of confidence in our project and the future of Cornwall's mining industry.' The Chancellor has also visited ship repair business A&P Falmouth and Harbour Lights fish and chip shop in Falmouth and will go to heat pump manufacturer Kensa in Truro.

Cathie Wood buys $45 million of battered megacap tech stock

Cathie Wood doesn't give up on companies she believes in. The Ark Invest chief is known for sticking with tech stocks she sees as "disruptive", often buying even when they face setbacks. This is what she just did, adding to a high-profile tech stock amid a post-earnings dip. Wood's funds have experienced a volatile ride this year, swinging from sharp losses to strong gains. In January and February, the Ark funds rallied as investors bet on the Trump administration's potential deregulation that could benefit Wood's tech bets. But that momentum hit hard in March and April, with the funds trailing the market as top holdings slid amid growing concerns over the macroeconomy and trade policies. Now, the fund is regaining momentum. As of July 25, the flagship Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK) is up 33.3% year-to-date, far outpacing the S&P 500's 8.6% gain. Wood's remarkable return of 153% in 2020 helped build her reputation and attract loyal investors. Her strategy can lead to sharp gains during bull markets but also painful losses, like in 2022, when ARKK tumbled more than 60%. As of July 25, Ark Innovation ETF, with $6.8 billion under management, has delivered a five-year annualized return of negative 0.03%. The S&P 500 has an annualized return of 16.46% over the same period. Wood's investment strategy is straightforward: Her Ark ETFs typically buy shares in emerging high-tech companies in fields such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, biomedical technology and robotics. According to Wood, these companies have the potential to reshape industries, but their volatility leads to major fluctuations in Ark funds' values. Related: Cathie Wood's net worth: The Ark Invest CEO's wealth & income The Ark Innovation ETF wiped out $7 billion in investor wealth over the 10 years ending in 2024, according to an analysis by Morningstar's analyst Amy Arnott. That made it the third-biggest wealth destroyer among mutual funds and ETFs in Arnott's ranking. Wood recently said the U.S. is coming out of a three-year "rolling recession" and heading into a productivity-led recovery that could trigger a broader bull market. In a letter to investors published in late April, she dismissed predictions of a recession dragging into 2026 and struck an optimistic tone for tech stocks. "During the current turbulent transition in the US, we think consumers and businesses are likely to accelerate the shift to technologically enabled innovation platforms including artificial intelligence, robotics, energy storage, blockchain technology, and multiomics sequencing," she said. But not all investors share this optimism. Through July 10, the Ark Innovation ETF saw nearly $2 billion in net outflows over the past 12 months, according to ETF research firm VettaFi. On July 24, the day when Tesla (TSLA) dropped 8.2% following its second-quarter earnings, Wood's Ark funds snapped up 143,190 shares worth around $45.3 million. This was one of Wood's largest recent purchases. Tesla's Q2 earnings were quite dismal. The electric vehicle maker reported a 16% drop in automotive revenue as vehicle sales declined for the second straight quarter.

Revenue came in at $22.50 billion, slightly below the $22.74 billion forecast. "We probably could have a few rough quarters. I am not saying that we will, but we could," CEO Elon Musk said. Tesla is grappling with growing challenges, from the rise of lower-cost electric vehicle competitors, especially in China, to a political backlash against Musk that has damaged the brand in the U.S. and Europe. But that hasn't stopped Wood, a longtime supporter of Tesla, from doubling down. "We've been dealing with controversy around Elon Musk in one form or another since we first bought the stock," Wood said in a recent interview with Bloomberg. "We do trust the board and the board's instincts here and we stay out of politics." She also noted that Musk seems more focused on the business again, especially after he decided to take charge of sales in the US and Europe. "One of the announcements Elon made recently is that he is going to oversee sales in the US and in Europe," Wood said. "When he puts his mind on something, he usually gets the job done. So I think he's much less distracted now than he was, let's say, in the White House 24/7." Back in March, Wood predicted Tesla's stock would reach $2,600 in five years, which is nearly nine times higher than where it trades now. Much of the optimism is driven by the company's highly anticipated robotaxi, which Wood believes will account for 90% of the company's value. Musk said during the earnings call that Tesla's robotaxi service, which the company has recently started testing in Austin, Texas, will expand to other states, with a goal of covering half the U.S. population by year-end pending regulatory approvals. "That's at least our goal, subject to regulatory approvals. I think we will technically be able to do it," he said. Tesla stock is down more than 21% year-to-date. The stock has long been Wood's biggest holding, accounting for 9.6% of the Ark Innovation ETF.

Arizona woman sentenced over North Korea tech-worker fraud scheme

An Arizona woman was sentenced to more than eight years in prison on Thursday after she pleaded guilty to helping North Korean tech workers secure remote jobs with hundreds of U.S. firms using false identities. Christina Marie Chapman, 50, of Litchfield Park, Ariz., helped North Korean workers gain IT positions at 309 U.S. businesses as part of a scheme that reaped in more than $17 million, mostly for Pyongyang, according to a Justice Department statement. The department said much of the income was falsely reported to the IRS and Social Security Administration using the names of actual U.S. citizens, who had their identities stolen or borrowed. The scheme created false tax liabilities for 68 Americans whose identities were compromised, according to the DOJ. 'The impacted companies included a top-five major television network, a Silicon Valley technology company, an aerospace manufacturer, an American car maker, a luxury retail store, and a U.S media and entertainment company,' the DOJ said in its release. In the wake of the scheme, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro urged companies to be more vigilant when vetting remote workers. 'North Korea is not just a threat to the homeland from afar. It is an enemy within. It is perpetrating fraud on American citizens, American companies and American banks. It is a threat to Main Street in every sense of the word,' Pirro said in a statement. 'The call is coming from inside the house. If this happened to these big banks, to these Fortune 500, brand name, quintessential American companies, it can or is happening at your company. Corporations failing to verify virtual employees pose a security risk for all. You are the first line of defense against the North Korean threat,' she added. Last year, the Justice Department made multiple arrests in connection to foreign remote workers who gained U.S. employment with stolen identities. In response to the latest scheme, U.S. District Court Judge Randolph D. Moss ordered Chapman to serve three years of supervised release in addition to the 102-month prison sentence. She will also be required to forfeit nearly $285,000 that was to be paid to the North Koreans and pay a judgement of more than $175,000. Chapman pleaded guilty on Feb. 11 in the District of Columbia to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to launder monetary instruments, the DOJ said.
