COLIN RHYS 

When you first encounter Colin Rhys (or, on the rarest of occasions, Colin Holbrook—his other identity), you can't help but be taken (aback?) by his eccentricity. He weaves tales of his exploits over time: his close collaboration with Elon Musk at Hyperloop, his instrumental role in establishing Hyperloop Middle East, and his captivating encounters with MBS, gracing the halls of palaces for years. He'll regale you with stories of his worldly adventures—living in Brazil, Japan, and Dubai, co-founding Burning Man, and delving into the realms of art and luxury real estate.

He's a man of grand visions and unconventional ideas. He dreams of crafting a haven in Saudi Arabia like no other—an adult playground inspired by the imagination of Walt Disney, tailored exclusively for grown-ups. A realm where whimsy meets opulence, beckoning the affluent elite with its myriad of fantastical concepts.

His inaugural project, set in Riyadh, promises to be a spectacle, with plans for expansion across Neom, Jeddah, Alula, and beyond. And as he shares his aspirations, he exudes a charm that draws you in, his warmth and charisma leaving an indelible impression.

 

To bring his dreams to fruition, he's assembled a stellar team:

- SquintOpera, the masterminds of marketing, wielding influence that reaches the highest echelons.

- BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group, the architects and visionaries behind the blueprint of his dreams.

- A consortium of exceptional individuals, each boasting illustrious careers and now lending their expertise to his cause.

 

But amidst the allure lies a shadow of doubt. Behind the facade of grandeur and promise, cracks begin to appear:

- The elusive investor he speaks of?  A phantom, vanishing without a trace.

- Organizational structure?  A mere illusion in the grand scheme of things.

- He operates in solitude, settling debts at his whim, with little regard for order or protocol.

 

And when pressed about overdue payments? Fabrications and half-truths shroud his responses.

 

He is a maestro of manipulation, adept at sowing discord amongst his allies. Despite the passage of time, progress remains stagnant, like a ship stranded in calm waters.

 

Then, in a twist of fate, the truth emerges: the investor fades into obscurity, and he vanishes into the ether. Messages go unanswered, calls fall on deaf ears, and debts linger like echoes of a forgotten melody.

And just like that, Colin fades away. The emails, messages, calls, and payments all come to a halt. It's as if he's vanished into thin air, leaving behind a trail of broken promises.

He fails to uphold her commitments, leaving behind a mountain of debts totaling well over $500,000 for countless small companies and individuals, driving them into bankruptcy and major crisis. It's a disheartening situation.

Most likely, he's somewhere in Saudi Arabia, peddling memberships to a dream that may never materialize. He showcases beautiful images from a renowned architect who has yet to receive payment, and he brazenly uses logos and marketing materials he's appropriated without consent or payment.

 

SO, SHOULD YOU EVER STUMBLE UPON THE NAMES COLIN RHYS OR COLIN HOLBROOK, TREAD CAUTIOUSLY. DO NOT BE ENSNARED BY HIS TALES OR BEGUILED BY HIS CHARM. FOR HE IS A CHARLATAN, AND HIS PROMISES ARE BUT A MIRAGE IN THE DESERT OF REALITY.
