Anyone invested in BawldGuy Note Investment Group I, L.L.C. (SEC Form D Filing 0001678049)? 

The fund started off fine, then then always given false promises and nothing written down. Jeff "Bawldguy" Brown was one of the original Bloggers on this site that got me more involved in real estate.  No activity in years. 

Business is still runnning under https://bawldguyinvesting.com/

1) California Statement of info hasn't been updated in years 

2) Still lists Jeff's old home as his address

I heard rumors of someone defrauding a note fund years ago and a couple of lawsuits which is typical, but wanted to see if anyone has any information.

2023 https://www.nclc.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/horne-v-harb...

Next step is filing a complaint with the SEC and contacting attorneys.

Hey Charlie, I spoke to Jeff earlier this month.  The property in Dana Pointe sold in late December.  I asked hom to send out an email with the fund status and redemption plan.  He said he would but haven't seen it yet.  He's had some challenging health issues over the last re months.  I'm going to ping soon if I dont see the email come out.

Hope this helps. I think its been trying for all of us involved with the fund.

Be Blessed!

Mike F.
