If you are interested in knowing more about Trey White – aka Roscoe Frederick White III – it’s a story well worth enjoying.
In fact, the more that you know, the funnier it gets. I invite you to study all of the websites listed within this posting.
Here first let’s go to the Evolv website:
EvolvHealth, LLC is a direct sales company developed by a team of scientists in conjunction with seasoned entrepreneurs, marketers and direct sellers. The team is led by the Founder and Chairman, Mr. Trey White.
Evolv’s slick website and over-the-top videos promote White as a visionary leader of historical business accomplishments. This introductory video produced by Evolv at found on YouTube in particular furthers that purpose, as White states that he is only “weeks away from launching the next billion dollar company in network marketing.”
And another early-stage video found at YouTube pretty much serves the same purpose -- to create the illusion of The Great Man.
In these videos, White describes himself as “a businessperson and serial entrepreneur from Dallas, Texas.” True enough. And he talks about his supposed past achievements in the DotCom Era as well as within the nationwide ethanol industry. The pitch is assured and convincing.
What knowing parties find most humorous about these clips is that manner by which White seems to encourage the touting by Evolvers of Trey White as a "billionaire." If you search either Google or YouTube for the term Trey White Evolv billionaire, just see what you get.
While never making the claim himself, you can see at this YouTube video some Evolvers give Trey some much-needed street cred by styling him as a “billionaire.” More on point, watch this ridiculous video as Trey grins from ear to ear without any protest whatsoever as he is moronically introduced as a “multi-billionaire.”
Trey White is a lot of things, but he is a darn far sight from being a billionaire -- despite what he would want for you to believe.
(So check out these videos before White makes YouTube take them down!)
But that doesn't end the attempts to transform the reality of Trey White into something more grand and bulletproof. The welcome page of White's venture firm website at the White Ventures grandeloquently heralds The Power Of Seeing The Future while trumpeting White's professional accomplishments as follows:
Trey White, CEO
Mr. White is Chairman and CEO of White Ventures, Ltd., a private equity company headquartered in Dallas , Texas . White Ventures controls and manages over $200+ million in assets through White Ventures and its affiliates. The company holds controlling interests in companies within these industries: real estate property, real estate development, manufacturing, technology, oil and gas and renewable fuels. Mr. White is also committed to investing in the production of renewable fuel sources both domestically and on a global basis. White Ventures' philosophy is to invest in forward thinking solutions where technology will accelerate and create exponential benefits and new markets in global economies.
Mr. White funded and co-founded HomeBuilder.com, the nation's largest MLS system for new homes and the official web site of the National Association of Homebuilders. He took the company public in 1999 as HomeStore.com with a market capitalization of $3 billion. Prior to a secondary stock offering, HomeStore reached a market cap of $10 billion with $350 million in revenues in 250 markets employing 3,000 nationwide. Mr. White serves on boards of several corporations.
Wow. Dynamic guy, right?
But if The Power Of Seeing The Future is only surpassed by The Power Of Seeing His Past.
Trey's past, that is.
Let's check out the reality to that statement above taken from White Ventures website, where White claimed in regard to HomeBuilder.com that “[h]e took the company public in 1999 as HomeStore.com with a market capitalization of $3 billion.”
And let's note that those were White’s words: and not anyone else’s.
The only problem with this tall tale is that when you check the records of the Securities Exchange Commission found here relating to the 1999 initial public offering of Homestore.com, it becomes apparent that White had no such role.
In fact, at this page at the SEC website one can review the final form of prospectus that was circulated concerning the Homestore.com IPO: which was required by law to essentially list every significant executive or stockholder of the Homestore firm involved in its going public process.
The name “Trey White” (or any mention of White under any of his other aliases) doesn’t appear anywhere in the document relating to the Homestore.com IPO.
NO WHERE.
In hilarious fact, when you run a search of this SEC document for the last name “White,” the only reference as a major stockholder of Homestore.com is someone named “Fred. R. White, Jr.” –- who is the FATHER of our own Frederick Roscoe "Trey" White III in question.)
So maybe Trey was running his Daddy.
Or maybe instead Trey was just running his mouth.
But the one thing that Trey White wasn’t running in 1999 was HomeStore.com, much less taking it public.[/b]
What ever happened to his involvement with “the fourth largest ethanol producer in North America?” A Dallas Business Journal story found here tells you what happened to that ethanol producer during 2009 and just before the founding of EvolvHealth.
Strange that Trey doesn’t tell you about this bankruptcy when touting his involvement with this ethanol firm -- much less the reasons that he was jettisoned as that company's CEO less than a year before its Chapter 11 proceedings.
Now go back and listen to YouTube video again. At the 2:50 mark of this clip, White emphatically talks about “my track record of building multi-billion dollar companies [and] taking companies public.”
What track record?
With what “multi-billion dollar companies” has Trey White been involved?
And what companies has Trey White taken public?
And has Trey White ever served any role with a multi-billion dollar public company?
We know about White's involvements with Homestore.com as well as White Energy.
But what about White's other claim to have started a number of companies during the course of his career as "a serial entrepreneur." Indeed, let's look at some of Trey's other initiatives.
For example, Trey hasn’t in recent years notably mentioned his involvement as the founder of Bridgeport Power, an electricity retailer in the Texas deregulated energy market that went defunct after a couple years of operations, leaving its customers stranded.
Similarly, Trey doesn’t much talk about Marlin Atlantis anymore and its series of planned residential community developments in Texas. Click on some of the webpages that are supposedly maintained by Marlin Atlantis for its communities in supposed development -- such as Cross Oak Ranch or Esperanza Bourne -- to get a sense as to why Trey doesn't talk about these dormant efforts.
And what else does Trey White not talk about?
The fact that Trey White could not have served as a Director or senior executive of a publicly-traded company.
As Trey White is a convicted felon.
Indeed, White was convicted during 1988 under Texas criminal law in respect of a felony charge (Charge Number F-8588654) of Possession Of A Controlled Substance in Dallas County, Texas, with the judicial disposition of that offense on February 19, 1988. (For those interested in digging further, the TRS Entry ID Number of the case 7432423 and the Court Entry Status ID Number is 2798735.)
And now this former druggie turned business giant is selling neutraceuticals?
Beyond the drug charges, Trey's bio ignores the other conviction on White’s record involving a Class A Misdemeanor Assault To Cause Bodily Injury (Charge Number 964311301010) that was finalized in Harris County roughly a decade later on February 7, 1997. (The TRS Entry ID Number of the case 7432424 and the Tracking incident Number used by state law enforcement is 9002966768.)
Hell, Evolvers -- Trey White can't even vote!
And this guy is Your Great Leader?
GET REAL, TREY.
I DARE YOU TO TELL EVERYONE WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
