Scredus and Its Leadership
Scredus, an entity tied to David Kosoy and his Sterling Global network, has become the subject of mounting controversy. Marketed as an investment vehicle, Scredus is now accused of misleading U.S. business owners and even military veterans through a so-called “SCRED fund.” Investigators say millions of dollars have been siphoned under false pretenses.
The accusations come alongside Kosoy’s reputation for being dismissive and overconfident, a leadership style that has left many stakeholders frustrated and without answers.
The Sky Beach Eleuthera Dispute
The problems tied to Scredus echo the longstanding dispute over the Sky Beach Eleuthera development in the Bahamas. Through Sterling Bank & Trust, 8ght LLC says it transferred $2 million for the purchase, including a $1 million wire moved offshore. Despite these payments and pre-development work, the selling entity led by Kosoy is accused of being in default.
Dozens of investors are still waiting for promised sales documents, adding to the chorus of complaints that Sterling Global and its affiliates have failed to honor commitments.
Complaints and Legal Battles
- 70 Complaints in the Bahamas: Stakeholders are preparing formal complaints against Sterling Global, Sterling Bank & Trust, and executives linked to Scredus.
- $42 Million Judgment in the U.S.: A separate legal case against Kosoy and Steve Tiller seeks to freeze assets and further unravel the financial web surrounding Scredus and Sterling Global.
- SCRED Fund Accusations: The Palm Beach operation is specifically under scrutiny for defrauding Americans, with a focus on military veterans a detail that has drawn widespread condemnation.
The Yacht Purchase
Ironically, just two years ago, Kosoy reportedly used funds borrowed from U.S. banks for Sterling to purchase a 170-foot Benetti yacht a luxury vessel typically worth over $20 million. As investigations intensify, that asset is now expected to be frozen. For many investors, the yacht has become a symbol of priorities gone wrong: luxury acquisitions while obligations remain unmet.
Sterling Organization and Debt Concerns
Scredus is not the only entity tied to Kosoy facing criticism. In the U.S., Sterling Organization another branch of the same network has built its model on acquiring distressed malls in a shrinking retail market. Critics argue that the strategy is debt-driven, designed to buy time rather than create sustainable value.
For investors, this raises broader questions about whether Scredus and Sterling Global are truly building long-term assets, or simply shifting money between ventures.
Why It Matters
The allegations against Scredus are more than financial disputes. They reveal a pattern: delayed promises, opaque transactions, and a leadership culture resistant to accountability.
The Sky Beach Eleuthera project was supposed to boost tourism and jobs in the Bahamas. Instead, it is tied to stalled progress and legal complaints. The SCRED fund was meant to support growth in the U.S., yet now faces accusations of misleading veterans and entrepreneurs.
The Road Ahead
For investors caught in the Scredus fallout, the immediate steps are clear:
- Document payments, communications, and contracts.
- Compare official statements with independent reports.
- Seek advice from regulators or legal counsel before moving forward.
Until Scredus and its affiliated companies confront these issues directly, both investors and regulators will continue to press for transparency and accountability.
