I backed the wrong pony. Got caught defending my bet for a while. In the end my pony lost. Yep he's back and not accepting convos or answering mails. I got scammed. Like most I have made my money back and then some. It happens... Invested in Cista2, made good profits on that too...
I must be one of the General's Alts.... LOL

You wind up vested in a lot of risky investments. Whatever floats your boat, though the IRS would have declared it a hobby by now.
Are you one of Newbold's alts? Meh, we all know there's no proving you're not somebody else in EVE. Even CCP can't force you to maintain the same credit cards and IP addresses.
What I can say is every scam needs someone like you to invest to actually get anywhere. A recognizable name willing to put his money on a less secure investment, to intice the bandwagon effect. Soon rational calculation slides to gamblin' man cowboy, and the isk rolls out based on how smoothly the conman presented his little masquerade. If you are legit, congrats on filling that vital role in the scam portfolio. But it's interesting that if you weren't around, you'd leave a con artist to create a fake persona just like you in order to fulfill that piece of the scam. Someone's got to be first, and not just a faceless alt, and a good planner wouldn't leave that to chance.

Dzil, unfortunately I was not planning on a bust. I had recently gotten screwed by DBank and zigged when I should have zagged. To make matters worse I am quoted all over the thread for backing a bad pony when I hoped he would return and fix his issues which in personal email exchanges he said he had planned to do. That in itself makes me look bad for further believing a scammer. Since this tragedy I have taken one more investment, Cista2. Not wanting to get screwed again I sold 10 shares immediately to make back my initial investment. Now all payments coming from that investment are pure profit. If she decides to go rogue I am out absolutely nothing. Not that I expect her to do so. If any thing between DBank and this I have learned a lifetime of spaceship games experience in investing and what to say and what not to say in the forums.
I now measure every thread in this forum and talk myself out of investing. I have legit partner now who is interested in trying to do an IPO, but worried that my past experience on this forum will hurt our cause. Thank you again and have some waffles on me.
