Vivek Ramaswamy *JUST* SUED - LAWSUIT
FULL TRANSCRIPT
well Vivek arama Swami is getting sued
twice one of the lawsuits is filed by
this guy and it's Mr John Phillips it's
kind of neat to see his work history he
filed his lawsuit after getting fired
after only working at a strive asset
management for six months now this
strive asset management is the sort of
anti-esg investment fund that uh Vivek
put together I I do think this person's
background's pretty pretty solid it
looks like I mean he spent eight years
at JPM 30 13 years at Fidelity and then
maybe running his own fun or well VP
here it says for three years he
generally has work longevity strive
asset management is uh vivek's anti-esg
fund and there are now two lawsuits out
of this I've got one of the lawsuits
right here this is lawsuit one this is
uh from Joyce rosly we'll go through
John's lawsuit in a moment her lawsuit
alleges along with what her attorney
claims mostly because I wrote this sort
of PR line right here on the right her
lawyer suggests the firm strive asset
management was founded in retrospect as
a PR mechanism for the presidential
campaign of ramaswami not a lot of
thought was given into running it as an
actual investment firm and this is again
strive asset management of which uh
Vivek is one of the founders and
co-owners you could see that here one of
them is this Aaron free Rex right here
founder co-owner uh and then of course
we have right here founder co-owner
Vivek or Amazon uh these the allegations
and joices uh I'm going to be
transparent here they don't seem like
and I don't know I don't want to
minimize but it doesn't seem like there
was a lot of uh evidence thrown into
this it's almost like these are like
verbal allegations that were thrown
together in a pretty what appears to be
basic complaint or lawsuit I mean this
is a nine page lawsuit which is on the
small side some of the allegations here
are improperly promising future
investment returns and utilizing
non-compliance sales material uh so a
couple things to know and then we'll go
back into this Vivek in the past has uh
in my opinion done some things that are
not the most upfront I think actually
potentially Shady some people say
borderline fraudulent uh and of course
those are opinions the easiest way for
you to make up your mind on that is just
look at the evidence uh and you could
just type into YouTube Vivek ramaswamy
meet Kevin fraud and then I just break
down all the allegations there those are
back from like 2015 and 16. that's how
he got his first set of money and then
use that money to create sort of these
other Ventures this here is one of those
other Ventures and it's worth noting
that this company manages somewhere
around 10 different ETFs and anytime you
like tweet something about the ETF worth
noting I am also a registered financial
advisor and I run an actively managed
ETF so I know a little bit about this
world and basically anytime if I were to
mention my ticker symbol to you right
now I would either have to have a broker
dealer license set up and my own
compliance Arrangement where I could do
my own compliance or I have to run it
through this company called Foreside and
they take like three days to basically
approve your compliance stuff and here
one of the allegations is while Vivek
just wouldn't listen to those rules or
would improperly promise future in you
know investment returns he or she
alleges that she met with the head of
people strategy another woman and
expressed concern that uh this one
individual's activity was creating a
potential legal liability for the
defendant and that uh this head of
people strategy would keep an eye on
these uncomfortable situations to
observe this let's just say put it this
way if you're going to put together a
sexual assault lawsuit or allegation I
feel like you need a little bit more
than just saying hey you know I told HR
I'm uncomfortable and this is creating a
legal situation it almost seems
threatening like I would expect maybe
how about some text messages or how
about you know uh a little bit more of a
descriptive situation like oh he touched
me or did this and I told him no or how
about a police report it feels weak for
a lawsuit you know what I'm saying like
if you're alleging Securities violations
show us the juice now it's interesting
because John kind of alleges similar
things we tried to get his lawsuit from
Kansas courts but it was actually harder
to get a hold of we have to do a foia
act request to actually get it Freedom
of Information request uh so we don't
actually have the docket but uh based on
uh at least what's circulating through
Bloomberg and some of the other media in
one case John accuses Rams wami of
portraying an overly optimistic
financial situation to strive
stakeholders and staff I mean it doesn't
surprise me Vivek is basically the sales
bro right the Pharma sales marketing bro
so the fact that he was overly
optimistic about the future of the
company doesn't sound like a crime to me
it would of course be if that raised or
elevated or escalated so to speak to the
level of you know saying to people hey
you're gonna make 20 of your money every
year forever and then it's just like a
impossible and be fraudulent potentially
right uh so but again you would expect
some more juice and evidence here so I
have to say going through both of these
Vivek lawsuits uh I was quite frankly
excited to see are we gonna get like
some good juice out of these lawsuits
that's why we went hunting for the
actual complaints where we could get
them we're gonna foia the other one and
look by no means do I want to downplay a
potential sexual abuse that could have
happened to the workplace again I'm
simply saying I would have expected a
more colorful lawsuit and legal
complaint uh and if you search uh
vivek's responses he's basically
responded to the court so far and said
hey look I'm running for president and I
I can't handle these lawsuits right now
can we delay them to the future some
people are now alleging that this is
Vivek trying to invoke the Donald Trump
uh method of let me try to run for
president so I could like pardon myself
or get immunity from these lawsuits
which I don't think you would anyway
because there are civil lawsuits not
criminal lawsuits and I don't quite
frankly don't think that's true because
again the allegations in these lawsuits
there
they feel weak and again that's not I
don't want to express doubt and say that
you know John uh there weren't things
that that were Shady that happened or
Joyce there weren't things that were
Shady to happen I guess I would have
just expected a stronger first volley of
a lawsuit here uh so I'm not here to
come to the rescue of Vivek uh versus
any other candidate I I don't care I
don't have a horse in this race I just
try to provide the information but in
terms of these two lawsuits nothing
nothing that uh would would stop me if I
were in Vivek shoes from running for
president be like all right well guys we
gotta deal with these allegations but it
does seem like there were some uh
employee management problems and and
it's likely these employees didn't feel
heard maybe he was distracted with other
things and they felt cast aside to sort
of manage this pet project that they
weren't super enthusiastic about
it's worth noting that uh the CEO who's
running the company right now uh
apparently the company manages around a
billion dollars in assets which is
pretty good I mean that that kind of
company could probably bring in five to
Fifteen million dollars in Revenue if
you're charging uh basis points on your
ETFs every year that's pretty good those
those could pay salaries you know it
sounds like maybe a workplace culture
Misfit I I don't know again just sharing
my thoughts and opinions based on what
we read here and that gives you a little
more insight into the lawsuits around
