I pulled this from another posting about Tim Cox from this website. It was so chilling to me because I could have written it myself:
"Cryptic, confusing, manipulative, selfish, thoughtless, uncaring, and very unprofessional. These are all terms I would use to describe Tim Cox from Greencastle Ag Capital. He seems to have an entitlement type of personality, feeling as if his hundreds of millions (real or imaginary) entitle him to think less of others. He was dishonest with me from the beginning and I only have myself to blame for trusting him."
This is from Tim Cox's Greencastle Ag Capital Website:
http://www.agcap.com/aboutus.html
Principal: successful entrepreneur and fund manager with over 20 years of experience in the private investment industry and commercial/residential real estate. American who served with distinction in the US Marine Corps and holds a degree from Purdue. Family ag. background from the US Midwest.
I know of no service in the US Marine Corp by Timothy David Cox. Tim represented himself as a member of a banking family from the farming community of Morocco, Indiana. He represented himself to me as a Purdue Alumni majoring in History and I never doubted it but others on this site have suggested that he never graduated.
I knew Tim as a board member of the Alumni Board of Trustees from my fraternity at Purdue University. I was an undergrad, an active in the fraternity. In 1990, Tim was in a position of authority, respect, and responsibility at least in the eyes of a 19-year-old fraternity guy. I was ambitious, greedy, and clueless. He talked the talk. In those days, he talked about Greencastle Energy and he was working on obtaining venture capital for oil projects in Texas. He gave me the "opportunity" to get in on the front-end of Greencastle Energy and, much like another report at this site about Tim, he promised a small amount of ownership for my investment.
He was a smooth talker. I had an amount of family money that had been set aside for me. I entrusted Tim with $18,000. Tim was about 26-years-old at the time. If he hadn't been on the Board of Trustees of my fraternity, I would never have trusted him; but, since he was in that position (at a time in life when "brotherhood" mattered), I set aside doubt and trusted Tim to help secure my future. In the months that followed, Tim even secured a 2nd investment from my family -- $10,000 from my father. My father did very well financially. Although he never made big money, he conservatively saved for retirement and secured his comfort slowly, step-by-step. Much like me, my father set aside common sense when Tim used his position as a trusted friend and advisor to secure additional capital. The point I am making here is that, while I might have been an impressionable and foolish kid when I invested with Tim, my father had never done such a foolish thing in his life, and Tim "took" him. Tim is a master-manipulator playing on trust and greed.
After that next investment by my father, Tim pulled away. When we chased him down in Morocco, IN, during the next few years (as late as 1996), Tim promised to pay us back. He admitted he was in over his head and he said that he didn't intend to defraud us. I haven't spoken with him since...
In recent years, I've barely thought of him. I had set aside the anger and humiliation that I felt over trusting Tim and his abuse of his position as a trusted advisor, mentor, and friend. I just happened to Google him and was shocked to learn that, 20-years later, he hasn't changed. DO NOT TRUST TIMOTHY DAVID COX WITH YOUR CONFIDENCE, YOUR MONEY, OR YOUR TIME. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
