As the founder of Soteria it amazes me how individuals that recieved hundreds of thousands in fees continue to paint themselves as victims. I made evey mistake in the book when starting this venture we hired the wrong people, over paid and over hired. Fortunately our core investors stayed with the company and we are now moving towards the goals we orginally set. It is true that I went through a horrible divorce which was all my onw doing the rest is simply FAKE NEWS from disgutnled employess who never created a single dime of ROI. I am the author of Riding the Indian Tiger and my forthcoming book Learning from Failure documents the entire journey around Soteria and its ultimate success. Does it hurt to have fake news and false statement made about you, yes it does especially when your thirteen year old son reads them. For anyone that would question my reputation I would be please to provide mutliple references to include our current invesotrs

The individual that wrote this report is a small time tech vendor based in Sao Paulo. Our firm never recieved any services from his group although we did have a contract with him. Contrary to his claims our company has not failed and is now under the leadership of Rob Garrett and an incredible team. There is no doubt that i over hired, hired the wrong poeple and over paid at one point running a burn rate of $230K oer month. New ventures run out of funding all the time but it is those that push on nd dont quit that finally reach the summit. FYI one of the indivduals we hired claimed to have an IQ hire then Albert Einstein so that should give the reader some balance
"William Nobrega has always been a scam artist, as the Financial services license cancellation attests. I think he tried to 'go straight' but the temptation of ripping off investor’s money to feed his indulgencies was too strong. Once in, he could not get out and the old scammer came out."
– Former colleague commenting on the failed CQS International venture with a seed investment of $2.3M (USD)
"…as a VC, due diligence is kind of what I do for a living. Upon the fact that he (William Nobrega) kept pushing me for investor introductions without signing a proper contract, I put everything on halt. I’m curious how he ever got past Forbes’ facts checkers?"
– Former (potential) VC
"I also had a bad experience with William. He used my name to attract investors and to grow his team without any agreement nor my consent, doubted about my capabilities repeatedly, and had a negative reaction toward a person that I was collaborating with when he tried to draw the line."
– Former colleague
"The very reason Soteria didn’t happen is because William Nobrega created factions with negative judgements of the very people who supported him under very unfavorable circumstances. He squandered a $2.3M (USD) investment within 6 months and has absolutely nothing to show for it."
– Former unpaid vendor
William Nobrega – Official government public records show that William Joseph Nobrega (born on 12/25/1962) was booked into jail on Wednesday, November 4, 2015 in Palm Beach County, Florida.
Charges: 810.02-4166
