Avoid Gramercy Millennium Group and it's affiliates. GMG claims to be a private equity group. GMG claims to be an advisory group. GMG also makes the claim to control a commodities trading business which is the source of their investment wealth, which translates to billions of dollars in successful trades and $1 Billion dollars under management. This is all an elaborate lie conceived by it's partners, directors and board members. GMG operates in the virtual world; they do not have a physical address or offices in San Francisco. GMG and it's affiliates have taken hundred's of thousands of dollars in retainer fees and never delivered on any investment promises.
Interestingly enough; I have had a similar experience with Gramercy Private Equity and their CEO, Michael Gale. He made some outrageous claims to be a venture capitalist based in San Francisco. I made a number of attempts at locating him and his office and only found a PO box on Market street? Their web site would have you believe they are an accomplished group of credible investors with a number of technology companies listed on their we site. The company switchboard is automated and no one answers the phone. How can a private equity firm with billions under management not afford to maintain an office space?
John,
You are spot on with your assessment of Michael Gale, Amy Swartz and the entire Gramercy charade.
If you perform a BING or GOOGLE search for Gramercy Commodities, which I'm sure you have, you will find out what they are currently up to now.
Exactly same thing happened to me. They booked all of this printing and owed Marketing Eye $30k in Australia - then folded the company! 3 days before folding... They ordered key people business cards and we paid for the printing. They took it and skipped country!
Hi, how do I contact you re this?
Mr. Gandy,
You are being too kind in your opinion of Michael Gale. Our team has uncovered widespread fraud, larceny, misrepresentation, personal and professional bankruptcy stemming from Gale, dating back to 2006, in Australia. Once he and his wife fled Melbourne, they began the scam all over again the United States. It seems as though they have burned all, if not, most of their new crop of investor's money and have now moved onto swindling millions from European and Middle Eastern investors. Michael Gale is running out of people, places and allies. He will be brought to justice very soon.
Gale is a major liar who is now probably sitting on millions as he has no ethics . His only concern is himself and drinking lots of wine . God has a special place in hell for people like him.

Here's another pic
Gramercy Venture Advisors has been in liquidation (bankrupt) since 2010 in Australia, Michael and Amy Gale have since been promoting the same company in New York and California.
In doing so I believe that he is intentionally violating bankruptcy laws in Australia by keeping any money beyond the grasp of the Australian authorities that are quite interested in his current location.
This is just another example of the dynamic duo in action.

Here are pictures of the people steeling your money.
Michael and Amy Swartz Gale are professional rip-off artists; they have been travelling around the world with money stolen from various people and entities throughout the USA, Europe and Australia. The claim to have relationships with established people but use this as a confidence scam of sorts. Today they are being investigated by several law enforcement agencies in the USA (including the SEC), at least one in Michael Gales birthplace of Australia and now Swiss authorities are looking at him because of a failed attempt to acquire what Michael claimed to be Bank but was really just an investment club with major regulatory issues (MB Depositors AG). We have identified at least US$10, 000, 000.00 that has been taken by Michael and his wife over the years but in truth we believe that the number is much higher. Michael is no stranger to these tactics we think and have evidence that proves he’s been out conning various people and entities for over 10 years. Michael is now on his third (3rd) wife and has children from previous marriages. Michael’s current wife Amy refers to herself as a “Travel Slut” on several social media sites.
In 2012 Michael and Amy Swartz Gale were on a Bravo reality TV show called “Start-ups: Silicon Valley” the duo wrote a US$500, 000.00 check on camera, gave it to the lucky recipient only to take it back after the camera stopped rolling, in fact the money to cover the check never existed, Michael and Amy explained that they would send a wire the next day, guess what……the money never came, it was an elaborate con arranged by Gale. This is well documented; spend a few minutes with Google.
Please contact us if you’d like to come forward.

Hi, how can I contact you re Michael Gale? He has resurfaced
Michael Gale of Gramercy (there are numerous entities designed to confuse, such as Gramercy Private Equity, Gramercy Venture Advisors and Gramercy Millinneum Group) is a professional con-artist, consistently making false representations to potential and existing shareholders, fund investors and entrepreneurs of investee companies. When meeting him, he comes across as the most reasonable, personable, straight-forward and honest person you might ever meet. But it's all a front. The way the scam works, is he tries to get investors to invest in his advisory and private equity businesses, although investors invariably never know which entity they have invested in. For example, he took $7.5m of investment from Australian investors who thought they were investing in the US parent company, Gramercy Venture Advisors, Inc., but then claimed they had invested in an Australian company Gramercy Venture Advisors Pty Ltd. He then used all those funds for him and his wife to travel the world business class, staying in five star hotels and dining out at the best restaurants - before the Australian entity was forced into Liquidation owing shareholders $7.5m and creditors approximately $5m. He then fled to the US to avoid bankruptcy (his wife is a US citizen) where he continues with his charade. He also tells people that his private equity arm has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in hundreds of businesses, but GPE has never invested in anything. He also approaches entrepreneurs, as if he has millions under management, and convinces them to pay him an extortionate retainer in order to raise funds for the business. He spends the proceeds of living a life of excess, and never, ever raises money for the entrepreneur despite numerous empty promises and by dropping names of high net worth people he is associated with. The guy is dishonest, a pathalogical liar and sociopath. Be very, very careful when dealing with him. He is the master of deception and half-truths (things almost sound credible the way he puts them), but if you do any decent due diligence, you will soon realise it's all an illusion and there is nothing of substance behind the man or his various entities.
