So it's highly likely a scam; I was always skeptical, but I should have been more skeptical based on their website, but I was like "Eh, maybe some high net worth individuals just don't really care about website aesthetics." After all, I've met plenty of wealthy people who don't really care about how they or their things look. They bait you with a private offering memorandum with an attractive valuation, which is based on absolutely nothing tangible (hence my skepticism), and after you invest more time (and get greedy/hopeful), they will ask for a 25k retainer payment for a lawyer who is in the scam. There is a collection of evidence on this following page, which seem very legit with a lot of contact information to verify: https://sites.google.com/site/venturenetpartnerschronicles/thomas-love https://sites.google.com/site/venturenetpartnerschronicles/t... I'm honestly embarrassed for even following this lead for so long, but in case any one ever searched on HN for Randell Young or Venture-Net Partners, they ought to know what's going on. Thanks all for your help!
