So everyone knows who I am. My name is Doug Higgins. I have done investigative work for over 25 years for law enforcement, SEC, corporations and individuals. I'm on this Board to seek out information beyond what I have already uncovered. If I can provide other investors with information, I'll be glad to help where I can as long as it does not conflict with my clients.
I represent and have introduced 3 families that have invested over $200,000 collectively to the proper authorities. Each family has reached out to both Antonio Collier and Michael Howard for over the past 2 years. They've gotten nothing but their voice mail to their voice mails being full. A few times the calls were answered and immediately hung up on. They even gave me telephone bills going back over the 2 years showing each outgoing call. In total between the 3, there are over 145 calls that were made to the Principals of the Company that willingly took their investment.
There are a few people that helped them raise over $2.3 million on the East Coast, and there is 1 person (maybe 2) that helped them raise even more money in California.
Certain authorities are aware of the VZIL issue. There have been only 6 to 7 investors (including my 3) that have sat down with them to discuss their encounters with various people, including the Principals of the Company and the people who helped the Company raise the money.
I am not here for the attention. I'm here to provide info (if I can) to get information. I have a list of over 40 investors. There are things that Howard and Collier might or might not know, so I'm not willing to help them out. But the people who made investments from about 3 to 6 years ago need to consult with a lawyer or go to the authorities if they want a chance in recovering their money. Don't listen to people on this Board. There are people on this Board that raised allot of money for these guys who ran off. They have violated certain fiduciary regulations and laws. They have been communicating with only a few investors while keeping everyone else in the dark. The main people who helped raise the money who are or not on this Board have risk and they know it.
