I’m interested in connecting with investors who want to explore remote investment opportunities (internationally), especially in Europe, and specifically in the Netherlands.I firmly believe that collaboration and the exchange of experiences can lead to great results for everyone.

One who is active still and recently did a case study write up like this is Don Konipol, the other pops on every now and again and did a BP episode many years ago Aaron Mazzrillo so search those two names and read some threads.A more likely scenario is not what you mentioned as the ever growing note/value deal, at least not as outlined.

We are eager to connect with interested parties and explore how we can turn this situation into a win for all involved.Feel free to reach out if you have any leads or would like to discuss further.
