Speaking as a former scammer, I don't think this is a scam. I am more concerned about Lee getting hit by a bus, getting married, or getting a real job than stealing my ISK. 10b is small change for a scam, and every month that Lee pays out is reducing his potential profit.
The 10% interest rate is enough to offset the risk, IMO. And to paraphrase Rule #1 of Internet Spaceships, don't gamble more than you can afford to lose. |

Payment received....3 months in a row, now. If Lee's a scammer, he's not a very good one....or he's grinding rep for the big one later on. (which is what I would be doing.)
Edit: I can't believe people are still giving him free bumps by trolling this thread. The bond is almost halfway mature now, fellas. |

So in two weeks I guess we find out if it was a scam or not... |

People are misunderstanding the concept of a "junk" bond. Lee's offering is a textbook junk bond. He's offering a high interest rate in return for what is essentially a weak bond. Could he bail on us? Sure.
I can't speak for the other investors, but I did my homework on Lee, made that risk calculation, and decided to invest 2b. I thought about putting in 3b, but that exceeds my risk tolerance at the moment.
Lee's bond is just a part of my overall ISK-making strategy. If he doesn't pay back the 1.5b of my iSK that he still has, I will be unhappy, and will certainly voice my unhappiness on this thread, but in my bottom line, I am far more worried about Incursion Inflation than Lee's potential petty theft. |

Lee Anderson wrote: Also, let me make things clear 1.5b ? sure if the bond is up for the whole year you would be getting this but sense its not going on for a year you will be getting 2b plus 10% with this last payment sense u invested 2b. Hope this clears things up.
Yeah, but you've already paid me 500m, so if you get hit by a bus tomorrow, I'm only out 1.5b in total.

Final payout received in full. Pleasure doing business with you.
I'm 700m ISK richer than I was 4 months ago. Looks like it wasn't a scam after all.
No risk, no reward, fellas. |
