Disabled Military Couple Combats Fraudulent Coaches & Business Networking Events to Help Protect Victims
Husband and Wife fight back after being fraudulently taken for over $100K
Green Valley Lake, CA: Assuaged,
a charitable vegan plant-based and military veteran-owned lifestyle
brand, is firing back at fraudulent business coaches and networking
events designed to amplify the scamming experience.
"The
journey here was not easy; we burned through $550K. Instead of buying a
home, our disability funds went towards building our businesses and
funding fraudulent coaches after falling victim to their schemes through
networking events and masterminds," said Thane Murphy, CEO of Assuaged.
"I can't express how humiliating it felt to pitch in front of large
audiences only to become the laughing stock. We were even derided by a
former NFL figure. As a disabled USMC veteran, I felt depleted and
defeated; after surviving multiple suicide attempts, I still wanted to
give up."
Various
scams and events hosted by fake gurus, mentors, and life coaches
generate substantial profits from their members. The disabled founders
of Assuaged raise ongoing awareness for potential victims to be aware of
these types of mind manipulation scams. These masqueraders coerce
people into funding a friendship for mentorship, quickly departing once
the funds stop. "The coaching industry is unappealingly filled with
charlatans, which is why I left," said Todd Radus of GS Hydro.
The
Murphys were connected to another victim by a "finder" they were both
working with. This fraudulent individual violates securities laws.
"Birds of a feather flock together," said Chris Martin of Hempful Farms.
The Murphys provided a fair warning to the Martin family after
receiving a request for more "money" or "equity" with no achieved
results of contractually promised funding.
The
deception was discovered after having their venture capitalist (VC)
lawyer thoroughly review the contract. Many "finders" in this industry
are duplicitous, making a company not investable because the finder is
not legit. Furthermore, payments were disbursed to an "entertainment
company."
Fake
mentors, coaches, and scheming book authors use a "get rich quick"
principle to fraudulently manipulate people into believing that they
need them to succeed. Some of these business coaches are famous figures.
These imposters outwit people to spend massive amounts of money based
on false principles using their "minds" and "power" to manifest money.
Cynthia
Cherise Murphy, a disabled serial entrepreneur and CFO of Assuaged,
reacts to people hoodwinked into giving away their hard-earned money.
"Using imagination to manifest financial success is deceptive.
Counterfeit NLP coaches and mentors promise the unachievable at huge
costs. They are scamming and manipulating honest hopeful entrepreneurs.
This needs to stop." she added, "Success happens by working hard towards
growing, making wise investments, and learning to fail fast. Many
lawsuits are on the rise because these swindlers are being exposed."
Assuaged
has a long list of celebrity mentors, and they mark a major milestone
in its success as a startup company powered by the enthusiasm of its
400+ student intern network. "We offer students an atmosphere to learn
and develop skills," said Mercedes Monita, Director of Public Health and
military veteran. "We are a community of people building a meaningful
brand that aims to create thousands of jobs."
Assuaged has used various creative means to help people without asking them to open their wallets.

Collins Syndrome survivor Cynthia Cherise Murphy strutted her stuff and
rocked the beauty status quo for the 8th time at the FAO Schwarz Kiss

join her on the runway, she began building a virtual student internship
program using their monthly disability funds.

medical insurance.
