OK, here is my take about what's going on. Mind you I know where Doug lives, which school his kids go to,etc. Not because I am a stalker but I like a mental challenge and I am kind of the curious type. Not to mention he lives in the area where I go to quite often, so it was easier for me to find out these info...
Since I am not an expert on HFs and charity organizations, you guys can help me out:
His daughter organized a charity organization for building a medical center in Haiti. Now she has the picture with the state governor, so it is entirely possible that the organization did rise some kind of money.
I assume that for every charity there is a legal guardian or whatever you call it. Now Doug's LLC has the same name (Blue Lion ) than his daugther's fundation.
So is it possible that whatever money has been rised is put to Blue Lion Capital Management and Doug has access to it, being the legal guardian for the money??
I can only guess whatever the amount is currently, but that would mean Doug is trying to multiply that amount. So this is my guess, and in the maintime he is also pitching the services of Patty for the rest of the group, whom later will be told to pay for coaching and that they are not the chosen ones....
Sounds pretty logical to me....After all, there will be only one or just a few traders chosen so for the rest of the group there is no need for coaching, specially for free.
