Greetings, Market Discussions!
My name is Lyris Nairn, and I want you to give me some of your space money so that I can give it to some other goons. We'll give it back, I promise.
As my corp mate Kalrand has mentioned in the pastùand which I have also mentioned just this past weekùthere exists a disparity between the rates of interest common in the Market Discussions forum and those available within GoonSwarm Federation member contracts. You may recall that Kalrand ran a successful investment series predicated on this disparity: you may find relevant threads here and here. I know there was a third one, I seem to have misplaced it. The goal of that venture, as with the one I am proposing, is to take public money at a relatively low rate of interest and invest it in the offerings available within the Goonswarm Federation member contracts at a relatively high rate of interest. I am prepared to offer the public 5%.
First off, I should let you guys know that I am not an accountant or a market whiz. I don't know a lot of economics-specific jargon, but I do possess a firm command of the English language and will be happy to answer any questions. I am mostly pursuing this project because it allows me to collect a bit of extra income for minimal effort.
Secondly, I should inform you guys who clicked on the thread without reading its title that I am a member of GoonWaffe, the primary corporation of Goonswarm Federation. Goonswarm has a long history of scamming pubbies (people like you!) out of their money. Popular wisdom would tell you that IÆm just going to take your money and walk.
So whatÆs the deal?
I intend to take your money, in 1 billion ISK increments, and invest it in loans that are simply not available to the general public. I will give you 5% of your principal every month, on or about the 11th. This offering will close and the principal will be returned after 3 months. I will maintain a dialog here in this thread or subsequent ones to keep the public aware of how the money is being used similar to how Kalrand did for his bond series.
There will be no audit because submitting my API information would be a breech of sensitive information, and there will be no collateral at this time because I am presently keeping my personal wealth tied up in exactly the sort of investment that I am asking the public for money to continue and expand. I will keep my personal wallet separate from the transactions and funds related to this offering by use of an alt.
If youÆre still reading this at this point (which I doubt), then perhaps you are interested in investing. I will be launching this project at 00:00 EVE Time on the 11th of this month. Please post in this thread if you are interested in contributing, or if you have any questions.
Quick Facts!
- Minimum Investment: 1 billion
- Maximum Investment: 5 billion
- Term of Investment: 3 months
- Rate of Interest: 5%
Reserve List: Jerry Pepridge: 20 billion

Ill give you a nickle's worth of free advice.
kalrand was able to capitalize on MD funding due to his posting here for 2000' odd posts, he has a reputation as a stout scam blocker.
you on the other hand have popped up in the last few weeks, and are now riding the coattails of Kalrand's reputation by mirroring his idea.
tl:dr no-one will give you isk... yet, lurk & post moar or ill Manip the welp canes in VFK.

And even then he was only able to have the faith of a handfull of people to invest in him if you look at his offerings.

You got my attention with the graph.
Unfortunately I agree with Jerry. While I like goons (and will probably be one as soon as I get tired of rolling in money in Jita ), that is a large risk to put forth on someone that is still building a reputation as well as is backed by an alliance that is well known for their scams.
In short, you will have to post more before I would be willing to invest with that kind of money. -------------------------------------------

I greatly appreciate the utter lack of trolling and the abundance of serious replies.
I have a proposal for any interested but cautious parties that wouldùat least for those of you familiar with Goonswarm's politicsùperhaps alleviate your concerns of a scam.
For those of you unaware, members of Goonswarm are explicitly prohibited from scamming people on our blue list under penalty of expulsion from the alliance; furthermore, our Something Awful accounts in such a situation would get black-listed so that we can't rejoin. While to be perfectly honest I don't much care what most people playing this game or reading this thread think of me, I do care about keeping my good name within Goonswarm and by extension the Something Awful community. To that end, I present you an avenue by which my continued membership in Goonswarm may be effectively used as collateral to insure your investment: join one of our allies, and then I can't scam you without getting banned forever from the only community within which I would want to play EVE.
I present this avenue as a show of good faith, because it is my sincere intention to invest any space money entrusted to me in a responsible way that will make me more space money (and you can have some, too). In the event that I should scam you after you join one of our blues and invest money into this offering (you would want to post in this thread using the character that joins the blue entity), all you'd need to do to get me permanently expelled from Goonswarm is to contact Vile Rat and link to this thread's permanent entry on eve-search. I am confident enough in this venture that I am willing to put on the table the only thing that I care about in EVE Online: my membership in Goonswarm.
If the concern isn't that I might scam you just because I'm in Goonswarm, or if you're completely unaware of Goonswarm's political policies, then that show of good faith is understandably meaningless to you. In that case, I suppose my only recourse will be to hope that other people are willing to invest prior to 11 AUG.
Alternately, I suppose I could just hang around Market Discussions some more and point out every obvious attempt at reputation grinding or scamming so that I myself can grind reputationùbecause nobody would notice that and call me out on it, right?

I suppose I should give caution that you should not pay anyone any space money to get into any of our allies.

the "penalty of expulsion" thing is like saying "if you infringe on my copyright you'll go to jail for 10 years" - when in reality most copyright disputes brought before a court do probably end with a fine and no jail-time whatsoever.
shooting blues is generally cool as long as you reimburse them in full (and don't do it too often) - don't see why scamming would be handled any differently. Might be worth "scamming" someone blue just for the shock value and resulting butthurt (or as part of a larger scam that involves neutrals/hostiles).
now if you refuse to reimburse blue scam victims things might look different...
but it might be worth trying it even then - if you can argue that the blue you just scammed was a terrible j4g, link to some hilarious lossmail or chat**** of him getting unduly worked up over your scam the court of public opinion might still vote in your favor. Really depends on the standing and care level of his CEO/diplomats in that case.
(I have never been a member of GSF so maybe I am misjudging the situation but this is how things would work in TEST)

Goonswarm actually does care quite a lot about maintaining positive relationships with its blue list. If you recall the incident of digi getting set read-only this past spring, the fact that what he did was hilarious didn't stop him from being punished for it. In any event, you are right in that there is always a human factor to the equation so it's not like rules are absolutely set in stone. But the point is that the rule does exist and consequences can be reasonably expected.

Eh, I'll toss a bil into this. Lyris and I've had a nice chat ingame, and I think this is more likely than not legitimate; we'd discussed an arbitrage scheme wherein I effectively guaranteed the results for 2% of the 5% (offering 3% with me backing it), but I don't think that my current lenders would be okay with that without prior discussion, so that's out for the moment.
