People Paid High Entry Fees

I set up a company that had no real operations and charged people to join as associates. The harm affected individuals who paid fees expecting training and work. I rented office space and printed official paperwork to appear legitimate. Payments were described as onboarding costs. I concealed the lack of activity by scheduling meetings and issuing updates. I benefited financially and closed the operation once recruitment slowed. Complaints were isolated and handled individually. The company was dissolved without investigation and participants were left with nothing beyond contracts that promised opportunity but delivered none.
