McClain Bell & Elysium Private Equity Firm are FRAUD of the century. Stay AWAY!
Elysium Private Equity Firm, owned by McClain Bell, has caused me one of the most devastating financial losses of my life.
I was introduced to McClain through Donna Hinkle in the beginning of 2025 at OFN National Escrow Services LLC, who strongly vouched for him and his program.
Relying on their assurances, I wired a total of $1,080,000 for a funding structure that was clearly described and repeatedly confirmed to me.
According to what McClain and his materials represented, the program worked as follows:
I would provide 5% down,
A $25M trust account would be opened in my company’s name through Momentum Financial Group owned by Redell Vincent Napper Jr.,
That trust would then support a 3x line of credit, resulting in a $75M funding facility for my projects.
This structure was the only reason I agreed to move forward and risk such a large amount of capital.
However, in my case:
The promised funding never materialized.
I did not receive a usable trust account, line of credit, or any of the financing that was described.
I have not been refunded my principal.
Months later, I am left with massive debt, ongoing interest payments, emotional distress for my family, and no funding; only excuses, delays, and silence from the people who were very eager to take the money at the beginning.
Because of how this unfolded, I have reported my experience and concerns regarding McClain Bell, Elysium Private Equity Firm, OFN National Escrow Services LLC / Donna, and Momentum Financial Group website to the law-enforcement agencies. They can review the documents, emails, contracts, and wire confirmations and decide what laws may have been violated.
I am sharing this so that anyone considering sending money to these parties understands what happened to me:
Do not rely only on their promises, websites, or smooth explanations.
Perform exhaustive due diligence and get independent legal counsel before wiring even a single dollar.
The concerning part is that this individual McClain Bell reappeared in December 2025, claiming he was now able to arrange funding. At that point, both my wife and I strongly suspected fraudulent intent; however, we chose to give him the benefit of the doubt. He requested that we remove our negative reviews, which we did in good faith.
He then introduced us to a lender based in UK, and we proceeded to sign an agreement. However, when it came time to fund, he once again failed to deliver. This pattern suggests a consistent inability to follow through, driven by misrepresentation and a reliance on delays.
It has become clear that he tends to buy time and, at the final stage, withdraws without fulfilling his commitments.
If you are thinking of working with Elysium Private Equity Firm, McClain Bell, Redell Vincent Napper Jr. with Momentum Financial Group, or anyone connected to this structure and want to know more about my experience, you are welcome to reach out to me.
I would not wish this ordeal on anyone. Please be extremely cautious with your hard-earned money.
