Chapters

Long story short, what came up in the report was between the five of them, there was 27 bankruptcies, 17 judgment liens, $14 million of investor money missing, and prison time. And they kept telling me it was clean. So just because somebody says something, you can trust them, but go verify, you know? So clearly, we walked away from that deal. They were pretty angry with me. But at the end of the day, you know, my investors would be extremely grateful because I stood in the gap, protected them from that. Right. It's really important to understand people's backgrounds.
