Devon DudleyHostThere is a Hall of Famer.
who has built a hell of a name for themselves, very recognizable and what have you.
But unfortunately, they have hitched their wagon to a promoter with a deep history of shady operations and financial red flags.
This promoter is running around pitching these massive international shows.
They're flexing on social media, telling talent and business partners that they're pulling in tens of thousands of dollars tax-free, backed by government officials with zero oversight.
But here's the deal, Devon.
When you strip away the big talk and you look at the actual paperwork, the whole thing is built on a pile of sand, my brother, speaking of Florida.
First of all, the promoter is running a complete corporate shell game.
The primary company is registered through a mail drop formation service and designed to hide who actually owns it.
And when people start asking for basic corporate transparency, the promoter shifts the name to an offshore entity on paper to keep everyone guessing.
Now, listen, man, it gets even more dangerous for anyone who's working for this promoter.
The promoter is flying talent into foreign countries without proper short-term work permits or entertainment authorization.
The promoter claims that they have special connections and they don't need foreign visas.
And yet, every single performer that enters another country for commercial shows is required to have work permits.
So this promoter is having to fly talent in on tourist entries, essentially telling them to lie to customs and hide their gear and cross their fingers.
If customs were to stop these workers at the airport, it's not the promoter who's going to get detained and deported.
It's the talent.
They could even be arrested for this.
So this promoter is putting every single talent's legal status and career on the line so they can avoid paying work permit fees and taxes.
Now, again, a Hall of Famer is in business with a person like this, and based on my research, this Hall of Famer does not realize the extent of how bad the situation is.
This Hall of Famer has invested in the company Assuming that there's going to be a return on the investment.
Meanwhile, there's nothing to return because there's no money.
And the promoter is a known convicted fraudster.
They have actually been convicted of fraud in the past.
