It is very unfortunate to lose hard earned money in an investment. Any investment. And sadly the business landscape is littered with companies that failed during the most recent world wide economic collapse. Billions of dollars lost. Millions of people impacted. It is only natural to cry "Foul" and seek a villian. Venturion's sole purpose was to create long term financial revenue for our chartity partners. In the process we believed without question that the few investors we had would make a profit. Our motto was "make a profit while making a difference" which I still believe in.
Julieta did invest in the company. For that she recieved 30 pieces of original art which has been valued at considerably more than she invested. Two years into a 5 year project she asked for her money back somehow assuming that money invested into a company was just sitting in a bank account some place. It was explained several times that the money had been consumed both in the operation of the company and the purchase of the art that she had. Unfortunately we hit a wall and the company had to sit back and re-evaluate how this was going to work.
The management team she mentions did not make a profit from this operation. In fact we were the heaviest investors and lost the most so far. We have been working to revive the concept and still get this project to market against all the best advice we get to simply close the doors and walk away. I am not prepared to do that.
Julieta has been told this. I understand her frustration. I feel it myself. But challenges cannot be wished away. And major crisis challenges take time. It is possible that we will not succeed but it will not be for a lack of effort. Sadly that is why we clearly inform all investors that this investment is a risk. It could result in the loss of your investment. We have been carefully reviewed by the authorities twice without any signs of negligence or wrong doing.
We simply did not achieve our goal.
And while I respect the concept of free speech it is unfortunate that websites like this exist and allow anyone to say anything they want about a person or company with no recourse to have it removed other than to pay them for their remediation services. Sadly despite all the falsehoods on the internet we still tend to believe what we read and websites like Ripoff report make money from the propensity of people to scandalize and tarnish.
