He shares how investigative due diligence can reveal whether a sponsor is hiding debt, legal trouble, or even outright fraud, often hidden behind layers of LLCs and international jurisdiction. You’ll discover how to identify red flags like inconsistent income, suspicious business structures, or undisclosed legal battles that can spell disaster and how you can practically get started, even with a modest investment. Shane breaks down the often-overlooked aspects of legal background searches, property risk analysis, and the power of aggregate data to predict potential failures before you wire the funds. Pascal Wagner's interview with Shane Pogue explores the critical role of investigative due diligence in uncovering hidden risks associated with sponsors.
