Hi,
I really feel like your trying to make a point or something...
It's not needed really...
We like to discuss things in a more mature way in this forum.
Maybe give it a rest for now.
Best Regards,

Bubble and Ponzi Schemes used in Investment Fraud Scams
Its Namesake
Named after Carl Ponzi, who collected $9.8 million from 10,550 people ( including + of the Boston Police Force ) and then paid out $7.8 million in just 8 months in 1920 Boston by offering profits of 50% every 45 days.
A swindle of this nature, referred to as a "bubble" for the hundreds of years it has existed and now referred to as a "Ponzi scheme" is basically an investment fraud where investors are enticed with the promise of extremely high returns or dividends over a very short period of time.
This shorter period between payouts and high rate of return is required to create the impetus for the frenzy that is to follow as word leaks out, and is soon verified, by numerous sources. The truly experienced con will balance these two factors ( payout period and promised rate of return ) against the expected duration of the operation so as to maximize his take while still maintaining some semblance of credibility.
In the true sense of borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, ponzi schemes are a simple fraud whereby initial investors are paid exceptional dividends as interest cheques from the deposits of a growing number of new investors.
"Profits" to investors are not created by the success of the underlying business venture but instead are derived fraudulently from the capital contributions of other investors.
A few people invest in the scheme, then as news of the offer spreads, more investors are drawn in. Usually there is no actual investment involved, contrary to your understanding, just money being shipped in from new investors to the earlier ones.
Ponzi schemes eventually collapse because the underlying asset upon which the investment was based either never existed, or was grossly overvalued. And unlike pyramid schemes, where one's potential gain is measured by the active and conscious practice of participant recruitment, ponzi schemes attribute their moneymaking abilities on some elaborate and inventive investment or business process, with the influx of new depositors the result of word-of-mouth only.
There are several distinctions between Ponzi schemes and pyramid selling schemes. A requirement of a Ponzi scheme is the promotion of what starts out to be, or appears to be, a real investment opportunity which investors may passively contribute to.
The pyramid scheme involves a person making an investment for the right to receive compensation for finding and introducing other participants into the scheme. There is a clear understanding among the participants that the success of the opportunity is dependent upon attracting these additional participants.
Pyramid schemes require active participants who will bring in more participants till reaching a finite end. Ponzi schemes can flourish even with passive investors without any responsibility to promote the opportunity.
The similarities are uncanny but the draw of a ponzi scheme is that while most investors are either too lazy, sophisticated or introverted to consider a multilevel marketing program type of pyramid recruitment, even the most astute investor is drawn to a program which has proven itself to be highly successful over time, where the only requirement is providing funds for investment.
A Fraudulent Technique
It should be emphasized that this type of scheme is the "process" or mechanics of the con rather than a type of investment fraud. Therefore, it can appear as part of other deceptions or contain false investment vehicles which can be used just as easily on their own.
The stated instrument of investment is generally obscure enough to mask it from comparative scrutiny, but really any story will do, as long as payments are regularly made to "earlier investors" to provide credibility. These fortunate few are known as "songbirds" since they sing the praises of the scam to others. Any money paid to investors, described as income or interest, is actually a |

Edited by: MarketDrone on 15/08/2006 17:54:36 hi despicable troll Unus Verumi
If you are are just bitter and jealous to see so many IPO succeed, and tens of billions being moved around while you only make a bit of isk from veldspar mining, then how about trying to make a name from yourself then making areal one yourself instead of wasting forum space like this?
Or maybe you just don't have what it takes for it and find if unfair that some pilots are better at it then you?
Please clarify, and stop trolling my post.

Right, and I have five titans. You see, there is no such thing as lag in fleet fights, it's just my Uncle Kieron covering for me whenever I use the super weapon to wipe out whole fleets.
