FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

well Vivek arama Swami is getting sued

0:03

twice one of the lawsuits is filed by

0:06

this guy and it's Mr John Phillips it's

0:10

kind of neat to see his work history he

0:12

filed his lawsuit after getting fired

0:15

after only working at a strive asset

0:19

management for six months now this

0:23

strive asset management is the sort of

0:25

anti-esg investment fund that uh Vivek

0:30

put together I I do think this person's

0:32

background's pretty pretty solid it

0:35

looks like I mean he spent eight years

0:36

at JPM 30 13 years at Fidelity and then

0:40

maybe running his own fun or well VP

0:41

here it says for three years he

0:43

generally has work longevity strive

0:46

asset management is uh vivek's anti-esg

0:50

fund and there are now two lawsuits out

0:52

of this I've got one of the lawsuits

0:54

right here this is lawsuit one this is

0:57

uh from Joyce rosly we'll go through

1:00

John's lawsuit in a moment her lawsuit

1:03

alleges along with what her attorney

1:06

claims mostly because I wrote this sort

1:09

of PR line right here on the right her

1:11

lawyer suggests the firm strive asset

1:12

management was founded in retrospect as

1:15

a PR mechanism for the presidential

1:17

campaign of ramaswami not a lot of

1:20

thought was given into running it as an

1:22

actual investment firm and this is again

1:24

strive asset management of which uh

1:27

Vivek is one of the founders and

1:30

co-owners you could see that here one of

1:33

them is this Aaron free Rex right here

1:35

founder co-owner uh and then of course

1:37

we have right here founder co-owner

1:39

Vivek or Amazon uh these the allegations

1:43

and joices uh I'm going to be

1:46

transparent here they don't seem like

1:49

and I don't know I don't want to

1:50

minimize but it doesn't seem like there

1:52

was a lot of uh evidence thrown into

1:54

this it's almost like these are like

1:55

verbal allegations that were thrown

1:57

together in a pretty what appears to be

1:59

basic complaint or lawsuit I mean this

2:01

is a nine page lawsuit which is on the

2:04

small side some of the allegations here

2:07

are improperly promising future

2:09

investment returns and utilizing

2:12

non-compliance sales material uh so a

2:15

couple things to know and then we'll go

2:17

back into this Vivek in the past has uh

2:20

in my opinion done some things that are

2:22

not the most upfront I think actually

2:25

potentially Shady some people say

2:26

borderline fraudulent uh and of course

2:29

those are opinions the easiest way for

2:31

you to make up your mind on that is just

2:32

look at the evidence uh and you could

2:34

just type into YouTube Vivek ramaswamy

2:37

meet Kevin fraud and then I just break

2:39

down all the allegations there those are

2:42

back from like 2015 and 16. that's how

2:44

he got his first set of money and then

2:46

use that money to create sort of these

2:48

other Ventures this here is one of those

2:50

other Ventures and it's worth noting

2:53

that this company manages somewhere

2:54

around 10 different ETFs and anytime you

2:57

like tweet something about the ETF worth

3:00

noting I am also a registered financial

3:02

advisor and I run an actively managed

3:04

ETF so I know a little bit about this

3:06

world and basically anytime if I were to

3:09

mention my ticker symbol to you right

3:10

now I would either have to have a broker

3:13

dealer license set up and my own

3:15

compliance Arrangement where I could do

3:18

my own compliance or I have to run it

3:19

through this company called Foreside and

3:22

they take like three days to basically

3:24

approve your compliance stuff and here

3:26

one of the allegations is while Vivek

3:28

just wouldn't listen to those rules or

3:30

would improperly promise future in you

3:34

know investment returns he or she

3:35

alleges that she met with the head of

3:38

people strategy another woman and

3:40

expressed concern that uh this one

3:43

individual's activity was creating a

3:45

potential legal liability for the

3:47

defendant and that uh this head of

3:50

people strategy would keep an eye on

3:52

these uncomfortable situations to

3:55

observe this let's just say put it this

3:58

way if you're going to put together a

4:00

sexual assault lawsuit or allegation I

4:04

feel like you need a little bit more

4:05

than just saying hey you know I told HR

4:09

I'm uncomfortable and this is creating a

4:11

legal situation it almost seems

4:14

threatening like I would expect maybe

4:16

how about some text messages or how

4:18

about you know uh a little bit more of a

4:20

descriptive situation like oh he touched

4:22

me or did this and I told him no or how

4:25

about a police report it feels weak for

4:28

a lawsuit you know what I'm saying like

4:30

if you're alleging Securities violations

4:32

show us the juice now it's interesting

4:34

because John kind of alleges similar

4:37

things we tried to get his lawsuit from

4:39

Kansas courts but it was actually harder

4:41

to get a hold of we have to do a foia

4:42

act request to actually get it Freedom

4:44

of Information request uh so we don't

4:46

actually have the docket but uh based on

4:49

uh at least what's circulating through

4:51

Bloomberg and some of the other media in

4:53

one case John accuses Rams wami of

4:56

portraying an overly optimistic

4:59

financial situation to strive

5:01

stakeholders and staff I mean it doesn't

5:03

surprise me Vivek is basically the sales

5:06

bro right the Pharma sales marketing bro

5:09

so the fact that he was overly

5:12

optimistic about the future of the

5:13

company doesn't sound like a crime to me

5:15

it would of course be if that raised or

5:18

elevated or escalated so to speak to the

5:21

level of you know saying to people hey

5:23

you're gonna make 20 of your money every

5:25

year forever and then it's just like a

5:27

impossible and be fraudulent potentially

5:29

right uh so but again you would expect

5:32

some more juice and evidence here so I

5:35

have to say going through both of these

5:36

Vivek lawsuits uh I was quite frankly

5:39

excited to see are we gonna get like

5:41

some good juice out of these lawsuits

5:43

that's why we went hunting for the

5:44

actual complaints where we could get

5:45

them we're gonna foia the other one and

5:47

look by no means do I want to downplay a

5:50

potential sexual abuse that could have

5:52

happened to the workplace again I'm

5:54

simply saying I would have expected a

5:56

more colorful lawsuit and legal

5:58

complaint uh and if you search uh

6:01

vivek's responses he's basically

6:03

responded to the court so far and said

6:04

hey look I'm running for president and I

6:06

I can't handle these lawsuits right now

6:08

can we delay them to the future some

6:11

people are now alleging that this is

6:13

Vivek trying to invoke the Donald Trump

6:15

uh method of let me try to run for

6:17

president so I could like pardon myself

6:19

or get immunity from these lawsuits

6:21

which I don't think you would anyway

6:22

because there are civil lawsuits not

6:24

criminal lawsuits and I don't quite

6:25

frankly don't think that's true because

6:27

again the allegations in these lawsuits

6:29

there

6:30

they feel weak and again that's not I

6:33

don't want to express doubt and say that

6:35

you know John uh there weren't things

6:38

that that were Shady that happened or

6:40

Joyce there weren't things that were

6:41

Shady to happen I guess I would have

6:43

just expected a stronger first volley of

6:46

a lawsuit here uh so I'm not here to

6:48

come to the rescue of Vivek uh versus

6:51

any other candidate I I don't care I

6:53

don't have a horse in this race I just

6:55

try to provide the information but in

6:56

terms of these two lawsuits nothing

6:58

nothing that uh would would stop me if I

7:01

were in Vivek shoes from running for

7:03

president be like all right well guys we

7:05

gotta deal with these allegations but it

7:07

does seem like there were some uh

7:08

employee management problems and and

7:11

it's likely these employees didn't feel

7:13

heard maybe he was distracted with other

7:15

things and they felt cast aside to sort

7:18

of manage this pet project that they

7:20

weren't super enthusiastic about

7:23

it's worth noting that uh the CEO who's

7:25

running the company right now uh

7:28

apparently the company manages around a

7:31

billion dollars in assets which is

7:33

pretty good I mean that that kind of

7:34

company could probably bring in five to

7:36

Fifteen million dollars in Revenue if

7:39

you're charging uh basis points on your

7:41

ETFs every year that's pretty good those

7:43

those could pay salaries you know it

7:45

sounds like maybe a workplace culture

7:46

Misfit I I don't know again just sharing

7:49

my thoughts and opinions based on what

7:50

we read here and that gives you a little

7:52
