Conventions used in this file:

  • ✦ marks the canonical bio for a person — the place to read the full background. Per-entity rosters point back to this via anchor link (e.g. Pearce Bevill ✦).
  • Person appears under an entity if they have a specific role with that entity (signatory, advisor on a specific matter, recurring vendor, staff). Cross-references avoid duplicating the full bio.

Principal

Austin Renfroe (legal name: Gavon Augustus Renfroe) ✦

  • Goes by: Austin
  • Legal name on tax returns, formation docs, bank signatures: Gavon A. Renfroe
  • Role: Sole member of Renfroe Family Holdings, LLC and, through it, owner of all sub-LLCs, Renfroe Hospitality Group (Mexico), and Renfroe Holdings GK (Japan)

  • Email: [email protected]
  • Primary point of contact for all decisions in this repo

Note for future sessions

Earlier versions of this file and the banking/ files referred to "Gavon" as a separate person. That was an error. Austin and Gavon are the same person — "Gavon Augustus" is his legal name; "Austin" is what he goes by. Any reference to "Gavon Renfroe" on a Brex wire or tax return is Austin himself (commonly his own capital contributions into the businesses, not a third-party payment).

Former payroll

  • Daniel ("Nano") — Nu México — was on payroll mid-2025, dropped off after July 2025. Received prorated aguinaldo Dec 2025 for April–July tenure.
Cindy Canto — illegal-acts narrative + consignación detail

Cindy Canto / Cindy Rebeca Vargas Villanueva ([email protected]) — former Casa Moksha hotel manager. She quit before she was fired (per Austin, 2026-05-09).

Grounds for removal: illegal acts — threats against Austin and employees, illegal transfers of retreat-booking funds to her personal account, and embezzlement. Her bookkeeping during tenure was poor (which JME's 2025 back-tax catch-up work corrected), but the bookkeeping issues are downstream of the underlying fraud / embezzlement, not the framing of her exit.

No separation payout was issued (Austin direct, 2026-05-09) — the prior repo inference of "Cindy severance" from the Dec 15, 2025 JPMorgan wire memo "RNIE FINES AND CINDY PAYO" was wrong; that wire's true purpose is unresolved and needs separate clarification (JME / Austin).

Cap-table mechanics: she fraudulently put herself on the RHG cap table at 1% / MXN $500 capital fijo without authorization; the ongoing Mexican payment-consignación proceeding (legal/cindy-consignation-timeline.md) is the procedural mechanism required by RHG bylaws to retire that share — the substantive grounds for removal are the illegal acts.
