Mentre i giorni passano e nella storia fra Tanal e VR46 si raccolgono scadenze come si raccolgono punti del supermercato perché i 18 milioni promessi non arrivano, tutti sono silenziosi e immobili come lucertole.

He is silent who should give the money, since he no longer knows what to make up. Prince, spokesman, press office and friend presenter former team manager: disappeared.

He is silent about who should receive them, because he has to decide whether to admit that he has been taken for a ride or to declare that they are not there in time and it is therefore necessary to take another route.

He is silent who spoke for months with extreme confidence about the Sheikh until, concretely, it turned out that the matter just doesn't hold up anymore. 100 posts a day, they become 0.

Only a few diehards are left to speak, a few Taliban who almost seem to be paid for something now ridiculous to be believed possible.

Abbiamo una figura non bella di un team-azienda come la VR46, che non si capisce quali controlli abbia fatto e a chi si sia affidata.

We have a total debacle of the trade press, which wrote 3500 articles and not even after the Prince's surreal lecture had the courage to raise its hand (if it had been me I would have gone crazy during and that is the reason why maybe they did not invite me), as well as of the extra-industry press, which only timidly said something.

Abbiamo una figura un po’ indecifrabile della stampa internazionale, che naturalmente vede la VR46 come un’entità infallibile e che quindi fa fatica a credere possa essere vittima di un smile farsa. Per non parlare del fatto che non è mai stata coinvolta direttamente. Se così fosse se ne sarebbe già accorta.

Abbiamo una figuraccia di Dorna che fa entrare senza alcuna verifica un po’ chiunque a parlare con Carmelo Ezpeleta e che non prende pubblicamente ed ufficialmente le distanze da quella che è chiaramente una farsa, nemmeno quando è evidente.

But the ones who are the most endearing are the fanboys, office-bearers, fixers, retired or working journalists, who have been advocating something that has not existed for months. In fact, that it never existed in the first place, to the cry of "do you think it is possible for a big company to get ripped off like this?" or "but who would benefit from this and how do they gain from it?"

It is time to explain it by revealing more shocking background.

 

VR46 as third choice. aprilia only needed 15 minutes

E’ un mistero che può essere spiegato solo con il fatto che  Uccio Salucci e Alberto Tebaldi manchino del background per gestire certe cose. Senza offesa. La VR46 apparel e l’Accademy sono eccellenze nel loro campo ma per un certo tipo di business forse ci vogliono altri assetti.

However, it is shocking that the keys to the coffers of the greatest Italian sportsman of the past 20 years are in certain hands with certain margins for action.

Tornando alla storia e al il trio Ternano-Saudita, Principe-Consigliere-Team Manager, voci non confermate né smentite ufficialmente da Aprilia ma che trovano riscontro da alcune fonti interne, parlano di un approccio precedente a quello di VR46.

Il consigliere-architetto, presentato ancora una volta da Giampiero Sacchi, che con Aprilia ha ancora contatti per via del suo passato, sarebbe stato liquidato in 15′. Meno ancora di quanto ci avrebbe messo ad essere congedato da Ducati quando cercò di proporgli un parco a tema che poi fu fatto a Mirabilandia. “C’ho questo amico che è amico di un principe”, in Aprilia non ha funzionato come con VR46 e con Dorna.

Aprilia (Piaggio), è un gigante a volte all’antica, ma che fa controlli rigorosi. Il passato racing ha insegnato molto e da quel momento Mister Colaninno i controlli li affida a società esterne a cui rimette certe decisioni in base a certi parametri. Piaggio è un’azienda di appalti governativi e non governativi, nazionali e internazionali. Queste cose le fa per mestiere, i controlli sono certificati e la giostra si ferma al primo allarme sicurezza. Non ci sarebbe da stupirsi se proprio essere accompagnato da Giampiero Sacchi avrebbe costituito titolo tutt’altro che preferenziale.

Per quanto riguarda il secondo team contattato prima di VR46 (fa ridere ma è così), una squadra privata importante, deve essere andato a senso o a conoscenza diretta, ma il risultato è stato identico.
Meno male che c’è VR46, che risponde alla prima domanda (come è stato possibile?).
Sono bravissimi ma in altre cose. Da oggi in poi siamo sicuri che saranno più bravi anche in queste.

It is time for the second question: who benefits from this and how does it benefit us?

And here there is fear to be had.
With the publication on this site of the pieces on Aramco, the Prince and the Councilor, some reports began to come in about the same, really engaged in numerous megalithic activities in different areas.

Oltre al progetto motociclistico, infatti, “l’architetto”, a nome del principe e della Holding Italo- Marocchina – Coreana (di cui è CEO italiano senza essere mai stato in Corea in vita sua) e delle sue emanazioni, sarebbe impegnato in molti altri mega progetti, alcuni dei quali illustrati e incrociati anche nei comunicati riguardanti la partnership con VR46.

And here is the simultaneous realization of:

(a) 4 theatrical films (the Edward Loth trilogy plus the film The Swordsman), with actors such as Steven Seagal, Daniel RedCliffe, Orlando Bloom, Tom Hardy, Sam Worthington, Luke Evans, as well as a dozen other Chinese and Korean actors and actresses all famous. Plus, of course, Oscar-winning Korean director Bong Joon Ho, director of Parasite and The Snowpiercer.

 

 

b) Diversi progetti di moda fra Italia, Korea e Arabia Saudita sotto il brand di Moda Live

(c) International music projects through the Korean super band BTS, with mega concerts and fashion-related sponsorships.

(d) A couple of towns in the desert already known to motorcycling enthusiasts as they are named in communiqués

(e) building projects of various sizes (hotels, resorts, businesses, factories)

(f) some sports projects to be pursued in their spare time such as formula1 teams, MotoGP and Serie A soccer teams.

It is all true, and over the past few days there has been a kind of race to recount the most bizarre episodes, all of which, however, have been confirmed by pictures, recorded phone calls, and chats by those who have been involved with these projects and episodes and have struggled to get paid even fees of a few hundred euros.

 

 

I drive around Italy in the Doblò, I get a little bored!

"There are probably personal problems." That's what everyone who calls or writes sooner or later says about their experiences with the architect who travels around central Italy (he rarely goes further nord, never south) in his van. He scrounges for lunches, dinners, overnight stays, clothing, products, like a door-to-door salesman, but in reverse, black jacket and t-shirt merchandising his increasingly exaggerated, increasingly complex and increasingly pretentious projects. All stopped in their embryonic state.

With participants in the various "work" groups, whom they call by naming their companies, workshops, laboratories, he publicly shares details, documents, chat screens, phone, audio and video conversations to convince the unfortunate ones of the goodness of the projects underway as well as the veracity of the contacts and the level of knowledge involved. Different projects but same content intertwining and integrating. All so big to be credible, all so complex to require time and trust. Money is meant to come at the end of projects but no project ever ends.

So it is that different people who do not know each other end up telling this site, versions that coincide, starring even important people (mayors, governors, big businessmen), often real and almost always unaware that they are part guarantor of something that does not really exist. Different people send the same documents, naming the same names and telling about the same projects.

The attempted purchase of A.C. Milan on behalf of Prince, complete with a phone call entertained with President Scaroni, is one of them. Of course, it is then reported that the contact is ongoing but not how it turns out, time after time. I wonder if Milan knows that they are being discussed in various Whatsapp chats in which there are architects, film workers, goldsmiths, tailors, photographers etc.

The purchase of the former Ariston (40 million euros seems too much for the Koreans represented by Bernardini but 30 might also do), blurred according to him due to a whim of Mr. Lee of Samsung who allegedly changed his mind about importing Marche technology to his country. Strange because Umbria and Marche have always exported electronics to Korea...Meanwhile, the struggling company goes bankrupt.

Abbastanza curiosa anche la telefonata in francese ad Airbus per l’acquisto di un jet. Le difficoltà di spostamento a causa del Covid-19, infatti, avrebbero spinto il Principe ad acquistare un aereo per far muovere più liberamente il suo consigliere. Un deciso miglioramento rispetto al Fiat Doblò!
Sempre target top di gamma e acquisto dato per scontato con conseguente vanto  fra i “partner”. Dov’è l’aereo?
Nello stesso posto in cui sono i 18 milioni destinati a VR46, noi pensiamo.

 

Even the Korean boy band BTS, dressed thanks to the Italian-Korean-Saudi Moda Live project (always in the offing), also overseen by Bernardini in the film sphere ( film costumes come from Moda Live), would benefit from the architect's designs. The prize for the partners of the various companies? Acting in the film for which all the workers have already been hired. Including a lion tamer and a falconer.

 

Nor would any savings be made for the concert. The architect's work, in fact, a 200m-long and 50m-wide stage to be transported by three super trucks to travel between Italy, Korea, and Saudi Arabia, with the approval of Samsung (again him, Mr. Lee, and his designer sister) and Hyundai for whom Moda Live would be making the interiors of the new cars.
Hyundai is a bit of a fixation, since it also appears on the MotoGP Aramco mockup. I wonder if she is informed.

 

 

The documents are there. How to doubt? Especially when every project is now defined as being one step away from completion, except for a few that already exist because they have been built, albeit by other architects, such as some real parks, some real buildings made by real architects and brazenly used even in the press releases sent out.

Telefonate e trattative per realizzare il palco, per acquistare i super truck e per acquistare dei manichini robotici che avrebbero consentito di prendere le misure degli abiti di Moda Live in automatico. Costo di ciascun manichino: circa 7000 euro, ordinandone almeno 200.
Chiamate, accordi, visite ai produttori, tutto come fatto. Business plan e documenti progettuali ottenuti a costo zero con la promessa di essere parte del business o facendo lavorare degli studenti o dei giovani professionisti. Quale azienda si tira dietro per un preventivo? Persino Pininfarina ha fornito dei bozzetti senza sapere che sarebbero diventati le macchine volanti di un film.  Noi li abbiamo visti, è giusto che li vediate anche voi.

 

Do you want to get paid? Then I'll buy you!

For those who do not want to work for free or start protesting, the cliché is always the same. At the first demands for money from some participant, the counter offer to buy the company, the building, the brand, so as to get more time needed for negotiation, thus continuing to let the "partner" work without spending a penny. Bids start for all kinds of companies, workshops, even multinationals. It pays either Mr. Lee or the Prince anyway.

Ogni incontro è positivo. Come fatto!
E qualora qualche incontro non andasse bene, come con Braccialini o Aprilia, dove l’architetto viene buttato fuori, c’è comunque una presentazione in più da far girare in chat con foto e numeri. “L’incontro è andato molto bene, attendiamo risposta”. E tutti “Bravo, complimenti”, e via così, come ad una riunione di multilevel marketing, ma in chat. Per chi ancora ci casca, resta solo da lavorare. Naturalmente gratis.

 

The first defections

Thus it is that a tailor's shop in Gubbio, for which the prince's advisor is initially seen as an opportunity but then becomes an amusing pastime of its owner, goes from deluded partner to patient friend who for the sake of quiet life makes a few scrounged dinners, a desk in the office (Bernardini has no office), a few dresses never picked up, and a few princely tunics later seen at a press conference known to all. Value of the tunic: 500 euros plus shipping...to Gubbio, the new Riyad. Here is the cost of a prince's clothes. There are teen agers in the center who spend more.

The press conference setting, on the other hand, say the chat's malicious tongues, is that of Bernardini's Moroccan tenant, late with rent. Jealous tongues, we hope, at least these.
Yet even here the information coincides.

 

La stessa sartoria di Gubbio, entrata per prima nelle file dei “partner”, è la prima ad uscire, nel periodo in cui Misterhelmet inizia a scrivere. Seguita da altri “insoddisfatti” che hanno aperto gli occhi. Ci invia le foto della tunica che tutti abbiamo imparato a conoscere. Tanto Moda Live sembra che non riuscirà mai a decollare, figurarsi se arriva in Arabia Saudita.

I am not an architect, but the Arabs are naive and don't give a f---!

"The Arabs are naive. They don't care about titles, they just need facts," Bernardini would repeat in more than one conversation. "The purpose of a planner is to get giant projects off the ground. It doesn't matter if they all succeed. I only need one to get rich and that's the end of the story."

But at the end of the story we are still a long way off, both because no project has come to fruition and because there are still many things to be told and many characters to be involved.
In the meantime, we are waiting for payments.
