STATEMENT FROM RICHMOND CAPITAL GROUP:


This report is false and misleading. Richmond Capital Group has a lot of iso partners that we have been working with for the past 4 years and continue to work with. The other accusations are false as well.


NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED


---------------------------------------------------------------------


I work in the Merchant Cash Advance industry as a funding specialist. Several months ago I was contacted by a representative at Viceroy Capital who was soliciting me to sign up as an ISO partner. This happens to be a common pracitce in my business and she was very convincing. So I foolishly agreed and signed up with them like I have done so many times with other companies. After a few weeks of sending files over to them I come to find out that my potential clients were being poached by another company called Richmond Capital Group. I took to social media related to the MCA business and found out that they're the same company. The company's purpose it to defraud people like myself out of making an honest living. I attempted to inquire more about it and was shut down from someone at Richmond Capital Group. He did not want to give his last name even though he took the phone call. I did my own investigating and found out that one of the key players in the company is a convicted marijuana king pin awaiting sentencing after cooperating with the government. He supposedly is on house arrest yet is allowed to work in an industry like this. An industry where he has acess to sensitive personal and business information and pawns himself off as a legitimate business man. His name is JONATHAN BRAUN from Staten Island New York. He took a plea 5 years ago but still awaits his sentencing? The government allows this man to do the things he does in turn for his cooperation. There are several articles about this person's history and details about his case. In addition a reporter by the name of ZEKE FAUX (Bloomberg News) wrote an article about 40 Wall street TRUMP BUILDING and how a lot of these scam companies operate out of there because of the cheap mailboxes they rent. Ironically one of the companies located at the is address is VICEROY CAPITAL and he even goes as far as mentioning this drug king pin in his article. I was then contacted and told it was in my best interest to stop writing things about Richmond Capital on the Dailyfunder website. Through my colleagues I have found out that Richmond Capital is beign run by a convicted drug dealer. That they consistantly steal deals from brokers they sign up. They always over collect from the merchants and have horrible customer service. They try using strong arm tactics to keep people quiet about their scams. I am writing this report to shed some light on this company and this person. I hope that anyone who deals with them now will stop dealing with them. Whether it is a merchant or ISO you should think twice before doing business with them. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT do business with this Richmond Capital Group. I am not scared of you Mr. Braun. You messed with the wrong chick, I am woman hear me roar!!!!

Staten Island, NY Here is more information regarding Mr. John Braun and his previous business. Please do not do business with this drug dealing con artist or his company. This is all public knowledge but may not be common knowledge about this individual. If you receive a call from him or anyone at Richmond Capital Group. I advise you to run the other way. Whether it is for finacing or to sign up as an ISO partner with them. You obviously do not want to do business with him or any company that will employee someone like this. Please click link below for full details or copy and paste into a search engine. I hope I am helping anyone who may come into harms way of this lowlife.

Viceroy Capital Funding

Viceroy, which arranges loans to small businesses, was accused in a lawsuit brought by a borrower of charging a 299 percent annualized interest rate. The case was settled out of court. Jonathan Braun, who runs the business according to a person with knowledge of the matter, is awaiting sentencing for running a marijuana-smuggling ring from his parents’ Staten Island house. His lawyer, John Meringolo, confirmed Braun works in cash advance but wouldn’t comment on Viceroy. “Jon’s engaged in a lawful, profitable business,” Meringolo said. “Anything that he’s done in the past, he accepted responsibility and he’s moved on with his life.” A person who answered the phone at Viceroy said she’d take a message for Braun, then changed her mind and said no one with that name works there.
