Sands cafe has temporarily closed after its owner, Guy Sands, was accused of being a white supremecist with ties to Milo Yiannopoulos and Proud Boys. The restaurant’s Yelp and Google reviews have been bombarded with accusations as well. The allegations date back to a Vanity Fair article about Yiannopoulos where Sands was quoted and a racist Twitter account he reportedly ran:

Williamsburg cafe Sands has temporarily closed after owner Guy Sands received “organized threats,” he says — a barrage that started following a viral tweet alleging that he is affiliated with racist, white supremacist groups like the Proud Boys. He denies the associations.

The tweet points to a Vanity Fair article naming Sands as an attendee at a 2016 party thrown by controversial alt-right media figurehead Milo Yiannopoulos following his ban from Twitter — “I’ve always been a contrarian,” Sands tells the VF reporter. The tweet, sent on September 25, also accuses Sands of running an alt-right Twitter account before opening the Brooklyn cafe. The writer of the tweet did not respond to requests for comment, though Eater has confirmed that the Sands named in the article is also the owner of the cafe.
