To participate, a foreign national contributed $500,000 in capital plus $50,000
in syndication fees to **RC. Because the foreign nationals treated the $550,000
as the price for getting permanent U.S. residency, they were comparatively
insensitive to the fees and investment returns associated with their
investment. **RC charged a 2% annual management fee and took 75% of the
profits. Compared to a lucrative 2-and-20 compensation structure, 2-and-75 is
Croesian.
