MEMORANDUM FOR ALL CONCERNED PARTIES
FROM: MR. TRAVIS KRAUSS
SUBJECT: MR. MIKE LATHIGEE PROFESSIONAL CHARACTER
To Whom It May Concern:
In the fall of 2015, Mike and I were introduced by a common acquaintance and shortly thereafter we began discussions pertaining to business investments. I quickly learned of Mike’s leading efforts in other business endeavors and investments, including a local Las Vegas investment club, a large gym franchise, etc as well as his involvement in a former real estate investment deal of the past.
Members,
This past week I feel as though I have played a small role in history.
For 5 years I have been a massive supporter of Prince Vacharaesorn Vivacharawongse – when he had few supporters.
I always believed him to be a leader with the right progressive thoughts
to lead a nation.
He and I had many discussions and I got to know him at a deep level
as a friend & human being.
He is benevolent and wants to make a positive difference in the world.
Over the years we privately spoke about his plan to return to Thailand
and the best way to do it.
I have known Mike Lathigee for more than 25 years from when we first met through YEO (now known as EO), the largest organization of entrepreneurs in the world. Over this time I have developed respect for his talent, determination and track record.
I have also witnessed negative press directed at him, which seemed more interested in “the story” than the facts. For example, when his company failed after the “Global Meltdown” of 2008/09 he was portrayed in the press as having attained and holding large personal gains when he had actually lost more than any of his investors and in fact was completely wiped out. Even the regulators (who ruled against him) admitted that he had attained no personal gain and yet the press continued with misleading stories.
