As we got into what was supposed to be just a cosmetic rehab we uncovered several things that set me back by about 5 months and $40K.

.: Recent items that are being uncovered:-Money was continued to be raised right up until the public notice to stop interest payments-Many people that invested recently either received only 1 or 0 payments prior to notice-The recent notes changed the venue from WY to TX, and the new TX contract doesn't allow for litigation and forces arbitration, not sure what to think about that, but seemed like it was done in anticipation for this-Still no transparency or communication from Marco about what is actually happening or plan moving forward-It appears that norada banking information was immediately changed when the notice was sent out and some of the last interest payments bouncedI share this information to encourage others that have information to also share it so we can all be more educated as no one is receiving any updates or information from norada.
