Every deal checked before you reply.
Deals chase people like our members: through agents, teammates, family, DMs. The Check turns every one of them into a simple house rule: “it goes through my checks first.” An analyst reports back within 48 hours.
Walk away from this one.
The returns quoted don’t exist anywhere in the documents, the "fund" is eleven weeks old, and the counterparty declined to verify custody of investor money.
"22% fixed" appears in the pitch and nowhere in the fund documents.
Declined to name where investor money is actually held.
A deadline that moved twice. Urgency is the product here.
How a check actually runs
Forward it
The deck, the DM, the voice note, however it arrived. Attach what you have; an incomplete picture is normal and still worth checking.
We run the checks
The same pipeline our own listings face: claims traced to sources, registries searched, counterparties asked the awkward questions.
A report in 48 hours
What checked out, what didn’t, and what nobody would answer, graded and in plain English. When it’s deserved: walk away.
The hardest part of a bad deal is that a person you know is attached to it.
So don’t say no. Say it goes through your checks. House rule, no exceptions, not personal. The rule does the refusing, and the relationship survives. If it’s as good as they say, the checks will show it.
