Blake Prater - wellspring capital group

[awty]

Well, for someone who was going to 'prove everyone wrong', and who was 'running legitimate programs'...
Not even taking it to trial... Another 'admin' of a 'legitimate program' who was 'wrongly accused' because 'nobody ever lost any money', and 'they knew the risk', and people complained that they 'lost their income'.
