red flag: no audit
red flag: "explained everything in-game"
red flag: possible alts/friends trying to create interest ala "quickly invest before all shares are taken"
Personally I just find the thread plain old creepy. It's like some homeless guy with no personal hygiene to speak of, selling loli-pops to little kids out of a broken shopping cart.
What I'm saying is that your red flags are valid but entirely superfluous to the thing as a whole.

I don't know what the point of either questioning him or defending him is at this moment. Right now all Newbold has to do is keep up his interest payments and close the bond, or if he's scamming not to. In other words at this point the proof is in the pudding and nowhere else.

Last week I got tired of all the Ponzi scheme blah-blah and Ingenting's "outing" of GN's API and decided to reinvest in GN to the tune of 500M.
I got my first 25M interest payment back already.
I have to say, if GN is running a Ponzi scheme, he is doing a crappy job of it by paying out so much Isk all the time.
That would be because you don't understand how a Ponzi scheme works, which is disturbing given that Koener made two excellent posts detailing such a scheme. (beginning of this page and second to last on the 5th)
Also I may point out the sticking it to the naysayers by doing something which has absolutely nothing to do with them (ie investing your money to prove a point) is pretty silly. But then so is you portrait so good RPing.

I would like to remind people that this is not a ponzi scheme. We have been repeatedly assured of this, so step off.
Haha, this game is so great.

Haha I just re-read Newbold's ****-you post. Asking those interested to search the entirety of the Internet for his posts on random forums and help him with his problems is a nice touch.

If he cared about his investors he could've arranged a way to get their money back to them. Unless of course he hasn't got enough of it anymore. Even if this isn't a scam (it likely is) it is a careless way to treat ones investors. Even if he comes back and does manage to liquidate (hes not going to be able to make the interest anymore) and pay people back, his reputation has tanked. Good thing he's used a throw-away alt and played API games then...

For all who think this is a scam and the PC issue is a front please read the posted URL. Hope someone can help with this mother of a PC virus.
Ok, so Einear, who I expected from reading this thread had no prior friendship with The G, you really really hope someone can help.... how did you find that post btw?
He's invested enough that he spent a lot of time searching through help forums on the Internet? And he really really wants it to not be a scam?
Theres no way Newbold might know him or vise versa, after all Newbold didn't even bother posting a link himself for his investors. Who might be concerned enough about their iskies to get him some help.
This is the thread that keeps on giving. Personally I'm waiting for him to come back to see what happens next. This is a killer cliffhanger.

WOW that is amusing Koerner. Fact is that I joined the General's alliance and a link was provided through a close friend of his in alliance CEO mail. Koerner when you grow up and get a real life job you may understand that there are things that come before EVE. At 14 or 15 you can apparently pick a sure loser and have enough insight to see through an alt (not), you should skip high school and college and work for the NY Stock Exchange.
At the rate you are calling individuals alts and scammers you will ascend to MD Elite in no time. Good Luck and f#@k off!
U mad?

So let's see, RL evidence is produced and all the haters claim it is just further proof of the scam?
Pathetic really.
Not really.
Pointing out the rational shortfalls of a public offering does not make one a "hater." If you don't want criticism of your offering don't make it pubic, and if you do, make sure it's done right.
I don't see why you're so upset that people are discussing it. The investors who were going to invest have already invested and the rest is just curiosity for how it turns out. In fact even if the investors did get turned off by Koerners supposition they couldn't do anything about it anyways. So again, why are you worried?
The fact is, that even if it isn't a scam this is no way to treat investors. It isn't hard to get the money back to people. Indeed he is part of an alliance which could probably do it for him should he simply send them a list. Then he could pay back the alliance. That's simply one way among many that he could've chosen to repay investors.
The careless indifference to investors and their money is what brings the flack to this thread. A person who doesn't care about money left in his care should hardly expect to be cared for in return. And such a person should certainly should not be running public investments.
