#143: The story of Bellatorum fraud with Chris Bentley

America's Entrepreneur

The former founder and CEO of Bellatorum Resources, Chris Bentley, joins the show to discuss his career and the circumstances surrounding the decisions made that led to the loss of millions of dollars. In this episode you will hear Chris accept full responsibility for the situation and poor decisions, and the actions he took that ultimately brought it all down. He's detailed this journey in a book titled, "Burning Bellatorum", set to release on 9 Apr 2022, exactly a year to the date after he sent his fateful letter to investors.
During the show, Aaron made mention of some spiritual components to Chris' journey that he felt obligated to share, and may have not be able to articulate fully in the heat of the moment.
