RAD Diversified : Verified Investor Reviews on Invest Clearly

"RED FLAG - SCAM ALERT"

RED FLAG! As of 2025, RAD Diversified is operated by Brandon "Dutch" Mendenhall, Amy Vaughn, Mark Fraser, Gretchen O'Brien, and Lionel Beltran through entities such as RADD REIT, Omnicorp/Omnico, DHI Holding, RAD Capital, and The Seminar Solutions. Avoid at all costs. Check the Better Business Bureau (BBB), BiggerPockets forums, and Tampa County Clerk court records—there are numerous investor complaints and serious allegations against them. During a recent April 2025 webinar, RADD announced plans to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Investors and former employees have alleged the following: Forgery of loan documents and CEO signatures. Creation of fake third-party appraisal companies to inflate property values. Other fraudulent activities, including covering up sexual assaults by Directors. Frozen Regulation A REIT distributions. Stopped payouts for joint ventures, hard money loans, and debts—falsely claiming these are protected under the REIT freeze (they are not). The SEC and the Tampa Bureau of Financial Investigations are actively investigating these issues. I have personally been interviewed by both agencies. Don't be fooled by Dutch’s marketing tactics—leveraging military service, "making America great" themes, or promises of financial freedom. Don’t be swayed by the celebrity speakers he hires for his Wealth Summits, including Grant Cardone and Tucker Carlson. RADD and Dutch, et. al., are likely facing jail time for violations including: Breach of contract law; Violations of consumer protection laws due to deceptive practices; Fraud and misrepresentation; Debt recovery violations; Civil code violations related to financial transactions. STAY AWAY!

"Watch out for this one."

I invested over $250,000 with this company and have had no end to problems. They are all about how they rise above the average investment company. But, when it comes time to repay the investment, they freeze the assets and stonewall you on payments. I started with them nearly 3 years ago with all my IRA savings and have repeatedly requested repayment and closeout of my account, they can only say they are not accepting cashout requests until the assets are no longer frozen. But there are no actual dates defined. I fear this could be a Ponzi scheme, except from what I am hearing no one else has been paid any significant amount in the last 2 years. They are currently being investigated by the SEC and the FBI. All I can say is to be VERY, VERY careful where you invest. It can all go up in smoke.

"RAD Diversified is a complete scam !"

This is a Ponzi scheme from top to bottom. Paper profits along with lies and threats. The SEC is currently investigating and if justice prevails, Dutch Mendenhall and Amy Vaughn will be in jail along with everyone that still works there and are well aware of what is going on
