They literally got a vid of a complex that was supposed to be built 3 yrs ago still not being started, yet they collected about 7 figs for it. That doesn't throw up red flags about something ain't right here?.. why not return the money or start pushing for it to be built unless you didn't really care about the property and just wanted the money
Why didn't anyone actually walk through the building before investing. Why didn't anyone ask to see some paperwork that shows who owns the building? As investors including Envy it was gross negligence on their part. A trip to city hall would give you information about who is listed on the deed and any filled permits. I can't say how long it's been around, but in MD you can look up some of this information online.
Envy's claimed is he was an investor like everyone else and they partnered on this project. People have different roles in partnerships and you assume the other person is doing their job. Envy's role was funding the project and I'm assuming findong others willing to invest like Clue and the others he and Joe mentioned. Ceasar was likely in charge of contractors etc... why Envy or anyone else never questioned the development delays I couldn't explain. Whatever the excuse was maybe bullshit about permits everyone seemed to believe and all of this people were not completely new to real estate investing. This happened during covid so they could have assumed the delays were related to that.
He may have his own reasons, but Cesar keeps saying Envy wasn't involved in the scam. Envy basically seems to have flipped on him so why keep up this lie at this point? If Ceasar and Envy aren't fucking with each other, it's not like Envy is going to look out for Ceasar or his family.
If it comes out that Envy had more involvement beyond marketing and promoting Cesar. I'll happily admit to being wrong. As of today, Envy isn't even being included in the criminal case as far as I know.
