The "truth" on Calvin Brown...
Based on info I have gleamed from other posters and public records, Calvin Brown has been in relationship with Ron Blackburn since around the end of the 90's. He was brought into work with Phoenix pre-Katrina to help do private placements with high net wealth individuals because of his personal network. He was compensated as a percentage based upon the value of those placements (5-7% is customary for the service it seems). What his current relationship with Phoenix entails, I can not be certain. I do know that based on back ground checks he is a fairly upstanding member of his community and very charitable. How he's made his money is beyond my ability to determine. He's probably around 60 and is a family man. And no, he's not my friend. Never met him.
This is all to the best of my knowledge. But I can say this, that these private placements are fairly normal for companies like PBLS pre-Katrina.
