What was said
"One of the main things they wanted from us is all communications between Motivo, my company, and Bob Lazar. And the reality is they were part of it for the longest time, really getting all my information because they want to help me. They sent a committee to my office. They sent a bailiff with a 10-day order that if we didn't pay it back, they were taking over the company."
Luigi Venditelli alleges his Canadian bank, which had been helping secure tax credits for his Bob Lazar documentary, abruptly demanded all communications between his company and Lazar, then threatened to seize his business. The filmmaker, former MUFON Canada director, says the bank had been deeply involved in the production for over a year before suddenly cutting ties and sending legal threats. He questions why the bank specifically targeted only materials related to Lazar while ignoring all other client work.
