Fascinating!

how revealing that you don't find it disturbing that:

  1. Marco Santarelli was soliciting investors by email and on their internet web site up until June 20th, when Marco Santarelli who signs the email as Founder & CEO, sent out his email suspending payments without previously mentioning any problems. I have documentation.
  2. Marco Santarelli sent out more than 10 emails in May and until June 20th, 2024 but NEVER mentioned in any of them a single problem with his investments and quite the contrary lauded his company’s success. I have all of these emails
  3. Norada sent out information packets after June 20th soliciting new investors without ever mentioning in the brochures any problems or previous suspension of payments. I have documentation.
  4. Marco Santarelli continued to solicit investors after June 20th this time raising the minimum investment to $250K minimum, without mentioning any problems or suspension of payments. I have documentation.
  5. Marco Santarelli and Norada continue to post videos on Facebook and YouTube without ever mentioning in them any problems or previous suspension of payments. And soliciting more investors. I have documentation.

I guess we know with what kind of ethicall and moral base you run your business.

DANGER !!! ALERT !!! CAREFUL !!! STOP AND READ THIS FOR YOUR OWN SAKE !!

Marco Santorelli and Norada are looking for new investors when they just suspended interest payments until further notice without any resumption date. In 2023 before I invested any funds, each and every time that I spoke with their representatives, I asked as my FIRST question if Norada Capital Management had ever missed any interest or principal payments, and was always told the same thing by their representatives, that Norada had a perfect payment/reimbursement history.

The investors that have had these payments suspended have set-up a new Facebook page. Go and do a thorough investigation. The link is:

I have no reason to alert you of this danger other than honestly trying to help you avoid the trap that the rest of us fell into.

FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING MARCO OR NORADA TELLS YOU UNLESS YOU SEE IT IN WRITING AND HAVE IT VERIFIED BY YOUR LAWYER.

2. Your post completely ignores the fact the MArco/Norada continue to seek funding today without disclosing the problems that they are experiencing. For my fellow small investors.

Now the facts for those of you who ARE fair minded:
Notice the dates !!

His “form” email on June 20th, 2024 begins like this:

Dear Valued Investor,

Thu, Jun 20, 2024 at 7:30 PM

I hope you are well. As a lender(aka"Maker') to Norada, you are a valued member of the Norada family.

The purpose of this correspondence Is to provide you with an update on the repayment under the terms of the promissory note ("Note") as an obligation of Norada Capital Management, LLC ("Norada").

As with all businesses. Norada ls subject to market factors that could impact Its ability to make
payments. Due to current market conditions and unforeseen financial challenges, we have
decided to temporarily suspend distribution payments. This decision was not made lightly and comes after thorough deliberation and analysis of our current financial position…………..

…………

Thank you for your continued trust and support

Sincerely,

Marco Santarelli
Founder & CEO
Norada Caprtal M«magement

Please note the date! June 20th, 2024. Know that there were no other emails sent about any problems. Quite to the contrary !! Marco Santarelli CONTINUED TO SOLICIT MONEY, both before and after. One week to the day that he informed his previous investors (again which he writes in his June 20th, 2024 “family” but probably thinks are “suckers”) he writes us this email soliciting more money:

From: MarcoSantarelli

Subject: Secured Note/ 17% Interest /12 Month Term

Date. June 27, 2024 at 4:21:30 PM

Secured Note I 17°/o Interest I 12 Month Term

My partners and I are raising $5 million of short-term expansion capital for the MoneY.

Is Mastermind, our exciting and profitable growing business.

We have roughly 1,900 paying members with a current valuation of $43 million. We are cash flow positive and project a profit of over $6 million this year.

We are only looking for a small number of investors. Here are the terms:

12-month term
17%Interest(Annual)
Quarterly interest payments

Please notice that nowhere does he mention in his new solicitation the problems his business is encountering in the previous week’s e-mail !! Or that he can suspend interest payments at will.

I have original copies of NOT ONLY both of these emails but also screen shots of Mr. Santarelli/Norada continuing to put out videos and web requests for funding without disclosing the difficulties he has already acknowledged in writing !! I am collecting all this data in order to ask for an investigation so it can be determined by the authorities if there are any leal consequences.


My purpose here is only to give other small investors the opportunity to have all the information which they are not disclosing so they can make an informed decision, something no one did for me.

I will close saying as the stock market indexes hit new records every week, it is really rich of you to try the BS that you write in your email. You may want to live in a world of Wild West, anything goes business (I won't mention the orange haired political elephant in the room) but I assure you, your ignorant, uninformed, and weak defense of this sort of activity is not common. We will soon see what the financial authorities have to say. I am confident that THEY will not ignore bad and/or possible illegal behavior !!!

Thank you. Would you please send me the link. I do not see it.

A court will decide if this is legal not a blogger. 

I am going as far as need be, including getting the authorities and media involved. The least I can do is warn fellow investors. Not enough just to make a declaration "ground work I would venture to say is already laid" and let the bad guys win.

THAT is not the way I roll or an honorable person proceeds through life!
