This reminds me of URO. Reading the ANN I get the same distinguished feeling that someone is trying to scam the shit out of people.
As I am about to finish my second Master's degree I find it hard to understand how someone doesn't simply try to back-trace my information or something.
It would be VERY easy to confirm whether I went to Indiana University, got two degrees from there, or have accomplished anything remotely noteworthy.
Random fact about me:
I am in every Moe's Southwestern Grill as wall art.
While I understand the hesitance for people to look at ONLY the ANN and pass judgement, my face is LITERALLY all over North America.
If you have a Moe's Southwestern Grill in your area, you can go in there and look around to see the same "Chris Bates" from Bloomington, Indiana on the walls, and it will in fact be the exact same person as the "Larry Christopher Bates" in the ANN, because that is "me".

A video chat can go a long way to let someone know that I am a "real" person, and if you ask me questions on the spot, my ability to answer without Google might persuade you that I've got some great intentions with some major goals.
When you're trying to do something game changing, I understand the skepticism.
Cheers!
