I had a bad experience with The Carlyle…

I had a bad experience with The Carlyle Group. They were not honest with me. I gave them sixty five thousand dollars to start with. Then my money was. I could not get to it. I did not get any information about my money or any way to access it. After that they asked me for another twelve thousand dollars to get my money. I said no to that.
Then they gave me some ideas about what to do with my money. Every single thing I did ended up losing money. All the money I had was gone. I tried to get my eight thousand dollars three weeks ago but it is still not happening. I have been sending them emails. Nobody is answering me. I tried to call them. Their phone is not working.
The Carlyle Group is not a company. They are people who take your money and do not give it back. If The Carlyle Group has taken your money. Is asking for money you should talk to Poma Advisory. They help people get their money back from scams like this.
The main thing I want to say is: stay from The Carlyle Group. You will lose all your money if you deal with them. I know this because it happened to me. I learned a lesson, from this experience. The Carlyle Group is not trustworthy. Do not believe them when they promise you things. They are not honest. They will take your money.

Scamm like activities

Scamm like activities. They keep asking for more and more money. They told me to send money to an address they provided and the money got stuck. Wanted me to pay more to release that money. Gave me private signals ro trade where all my money was swallowed. Initiated a withdrawal of the remaining money 3 days ago. Still waiting to be confirmed. They are not legit

The Carlyle Group and financial mismanagement cases

The Carlyle Group was sued by their former portfolio manager for one of its hedge funds, who accused the firm of “knowingly and intentionally fraudulent” behavior.

Nikhil Dhir, an ex-oil specialist for Carlyle’s Vermillion Asset Management, who was fired by TCG, filed the case Tuesday, Feb 9th 2016. Dhir complained internally that the fund was misleading limited partners about an investment’s size, risk, and liquidity to avoid losing fees, the suit alleged, leading to his wrongful firing. Check an Aritcl by Chief Investment Officer dated February 11, 2016.

2. Carlyle faces $1bn lawsuit over failed Guernsey arm. Check an Article by The Guardian by Andrew Clark in New York, Wed 7 Jul 2010 20.03 BST

This is not a trusted company to partner with all these issues in the back of our minds.
