About This Site
This website is maintained by Casey Manion, an investor who sent $10,000 to Americus Oxides LLC in April 2019 based on a signed royalty agreement promising royalty payments per ton of processed ore. As of this writing, zero dollars have been received despite years of documented promises.
I purchased the domain americusoxides.com to document my experience, share evidence with other affected investors, and pressure the company to honor its obligations. Every factual claim on this site is backed by documents and public records available on the Evidence page.
In my opinion, this investment was, at best, grossly mismanaged, and at worst, a scam. I believe other investors deserve to know the facts before sending any money to Americus Oxides LLC, Lee Wiskowski, or Robert Reininga.
