The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Is No Longer ViableAt the time of joining the Inner Circle, I was led to believe this was a select group of 300 top investors, a group committed to transparency, partnership, and shared success.Yet, despite escalating my concerns from Frank to Gretchen to you, Dutch, I have been met with avoidance, vague responses, or outright silence.How can the MOU function moving forward when:Investor questions are ignored.Financials are withheld.Investment structures are unclear and possibly diluted.Concerns about business practices are met with misdirection instead of resolution.You continue to invite me to Inner Circle retreats, yet you refuse to acknowledge my legitimate concerns.
