None of this never happened.For a company with a 12-year lending history, Norada Capital Management has only one $4,000,000 Reg D filing from 2020, which appears inadequate considering a 2012 start date and almost four years since the last filing.Santarelli also claims in the same YouTube video that Norada Capital Management has been making loans since 2012 with no default history, re-lending money received from investors and maintaining a perfect record over 12 years.
