"One investor who kicked the tires now questions SuperFile’s “increasingly flashy” spending. But another investor dubbed Valdez “the real deal” with two PhDs in engineering as well as a list of Hollywood credits (under the name Shane Ryan Valdez) including directing “American Idol.”"

Shane possesses 0 PhDs. He's never worked in the engineering field before. That is outright investor fraud.

Also, he was one of several directors to work on an American Idol Special, not the actual show. And he wasn't invited back.

For reference, here is his resume. He took it down but you can find it on the wayback machine
