Jeff Berwick promises to send me every last scrap of information on the $10M Galt's Gulch Chile scam. Help me hold him accountable.
I just had an interesting chat with Jeff Berwick ( @dollarvigilante ) this afternoon.
As you may know, Jeff was the leader of the Galt's Gulch Chile project to develop a tract of land in Chile and sell lots primarily to libertarians.
$10M Disaster
The project ended in disaster with dozens of libertarian families out more than $10 million. But Jeff shirked the blame for it, claiming that he too was a victim of partner Ken Johnson, a move I criticized him for.
Ken Johnson, in turn, places the blame on Berwick.
After noticing a reference I made in episode 5 of the Steem Smart Podcast, Jeff contacted me, upset that I think he's a scammer.
My Offer
I don't think Jeff is an honest person but I offered to re-examine my opinion if he sent me every last scrap of information he has on the Galt's Gulch Chile fiasco. In return, I'm going to interview all of the parties involved, as many as will speak to me, and present everything I learn in a long-form journalistic piece.
Jeff expects me to learn that my current belief that he is a con man is incorrect. In 1 month or less, we'll find out whether he held up his end of the bargain or not.
Scammers Shouldn't Prosper
I need your help holding him accountable to the September 25th deadline. Scammers shouldn't prosper in the libertarian community. We've got a $10 million dollar ripoff happening in our midst and we still don't know the full story. One hand blames the other and the truth is lost in the middle.
This is Jeff's chance to tell it, and clear his name.
Frankly, I'm looking forward to this. And I hope you are, too.
UPDATE: Jeff has committed, in the comments below, to an even more aggressive deadline of Sep 8. Ken Johnson has committed to a deadline of Sep 30.
