Originally by: Corduroy Rab I am very inexperienced in the market side of eve and had a question for all you guys. Have there been any notable Ponzi schemes in eve? If so are they fairly prevalent and how much have investors been taken for in them?
Ask Ricdic and Hexxx, they both have a 6th sense at spotting these (after they occur that is). hahah

This is why you have no credability.
And it pains me greatly I assure you.

You sure take every opportunity to get a jab in don't you. I usually try to be nice but BTW, how did your IPO work out? I mean, since we are talking about Ponzi schemes and all.
I had to undergo surgery at some point and I wasn't sure I would live through. So I payed back my only investor (minimum guaranteed return included). Fortunately it all turned well but since then I'm no longer dealing with certain classes of individuals so that means no more IPOs.

If it pains you so much, why do you still whine about it?
I was going to ask the same thing, considering he was whining about it quite a bit just a few weeks ago.
I wonder how many more days/weeks/months he will post before he disappears into the ether like Riethe did.
If I was whining then Ricdic must've been crying. I don't smoke and I don't drink, it will take some time I assure you.

Google is your friend.
"Ponzi schemes are similar to pyramid schemes, but differ in that Ponzi schemes are operated by a central company or person, who may or may not be making other false claims about how the money is being invested, and where the returns are coming from. Ponzi schemes don't necessarily involve a hierarchal structure, as in a pyramid scheme; there is merely one person or company that is collecting money from new participants and using this money to pay off promised returns to earlier participants.
Pyramid Scheme: A scheme in which a hierarchy is created by people joining under others who joined previously, and in which those who join make payments to those above them in the hierarchy, with the expectation of being able to collect payments from those who join below."
