General :-
In 4 days time I finish training retail5 and start training the wholesale skill. In order to help finance the trading expansion which the wholesale skill enables I'm making this bond offer.
The Offer :-
I am offering 40 x 25m bonds which will carry an interest rate rate of 4% per 7 days and which will mature after 12 weeks. Buyback at issue price will be available after the 4th interest payment. I guarantee to buyback any and all bonds after that time. The bonds will be offered on a 1st come 1st served basis with no maximum limit imposed. The bonds will commence operating at 12 noon Eve time 27th February. Reservations should be made in this listing and payment made to this character by the commencement time. There will be no physical token of bond ownership offered. All bondholders will be listed in this thread and I will keep a hard copy of the list which I will use to administer the bonds.
The Business Plan :-
By the time the bonds commences operating I will have retail5 and wholesale 1,2 and 3 trained. This will give me an extra 56 order slots to complement the 57 I already have. The ENTIRE amount of the bonds will be invested in extra buy orders. With my margin trading skill this will allow me to create up to 3 billionisk of extra buy orders. The goods acquired thus will be sold remotely and the profits made will be used to service the bonds. I will train wholesale4 and margin trading4 during the lifetime of the bonds.
Risks Involved :-
There are 3 major risks involved
1/ That this is a scam. I can't really do any more than state it ISN'T a scam. You will have to read this offer document and make up your own minds.
2/ That I won't be able to play Eve. There are no forseeable reasons for me not to continue playing Eve. If I were to stop playing Eve but still had the capacity to do so I would repay bondholders 1st, either from my wallet if funds permitted, or by liquidating sufficient buy orders otherwise. If I get hit by a bus you would lose your isk.
3/ That I would lose the investment isk ingame. There is zero risk of this happening. The isk wouldn't be used except in exchange for goods which would then be sold at a profit. Everything I sell I do so remotely so nothing is ever moved . I invest in 3 major categories of goods(1 of which should be obvious from my corps name) none of which are subject to any serious market manipulation. The vast majority of items I trade in are manufactured which makes manipulation quite difficult. I'm sure there are people who would disagree so all I can really say is that I have no difficulty earning a consistent profit on my current 57 orders.
Trust and Credibility :-
Why should we trust you ? Why indeed ? I think it was Shar Tegral who said something along the lines that the satisfaction that derives from being a trusted and reputable member of the Eve community must be vastly greater than the satisfaction derived from being a known scammer. I concur with that view entirely.

Just to clarify: (4%*12)/3 = 16% per month, or 48% on maturity, yeah? Your subject is a little confusing as it implies 16% at the end of 3 months (ie 5.33% per month).
Personally I can't help you as I'm fully subscribed on all my stocks this month. (there've been so many share fire sales, I just *had* to buy some of those beauties!)

I'm assuming you mean 16% a month as you specified in the body of your post.
If that is the case, I would like to invest 500 Million into these bonds.

I've now updated the title for clarity, although as you stated, the offered rate is quite clear in the body of the post 
Thank you for your investment

As much as I think some people deserve to lose their isk when making foolhardy decisions it should be noted that the OP is approximately 3 weeks old in terms of skill training done.
He's an alt of someone's main I assume. Can the OP verify who his main is? Or are you suggesting this character has made 700m in a few weeks?

Probably an alt of the OP... who's probably someone else's alt... who's looking to drum up lemming investments.

Edited by: cosmoray on 21/02/2008 20:00:33 If you are truly a new character then congrats on making so much money that would put you in group of I win eve. As seasoned pros can't make that much in that time frame with a new toon starting with 5K even with their uber trading skills.
Your sell and buy order pictures DO NOT show your character name, and you could have used the pics from anywhere. So those pics show nothing.
Questions:
1. As you are making so much ISK why do you require a cash injection. At your current growth rate you will have earned your bond in a couple of weeks.
2. We are a suspicious group of people on the MD, so I would ask why we would trust a 3 week old character with this amount of cash relative to your experience.
3. Do you have ANY references? Corp mates? friends?
That is all for the moment

quote from cosmoray :-
"Your sell and buy order pictures DO NOT show your character name, and you could have used the pics from anywhere. So those pics show nothing."
They do show the same amount of isk in my wallet as is shown on my login page.
I did state in the offer :-
"I know people say screenshots can be faked but I don't know how to do it."
If there isn't enough in my offer to persuade you to invest even 25m then nothing I can say that will alter that fact. You seem to have already decided I'm a liar so there's hardly any point in entering a dialogue with you

You should have spent a litlle bit of your 3 weeks at least looking at the MD forum.

You should probably re-read his post. He was not saying you are a liar, he said nothing you posted proves your trustworthiness.
It's not about individuals trusting you with 25m, it's about you being trusted with a total of 1b.
I find it VERY questionable that you're truly three weeks old and have made that much money and also know to come here to request money.
Perhaps finding a trusted member of the community willing to audit you would help with the trust. This means providing your API key to them so they can review your orders/transactions/etc. You'd have to trust that this person will not use that information for their own benefit or disclose it to others. If you won't trust a trusted community member then there is no reason for people here to trust you either. Unless you are willing to tell us if you are not truly the main you claim.

I have the following investor :-
Admiral Grevious 20 x 25m bonds = 500m
There are still 20 x 25m bonds available.
There is no minimum or maximum investment requirement. Please post reservations in this thread and send payment to this character to reach me on or before 12 noon Eve time 27th February.
Let me just recap the offer. The bonds carry an interest rate of 4% per week for 12 weeks after which time the capital will be repaid. There is a guaranteed buyback, if requested, after the 4th week.
The interest rate of 16% per lunar month works out about 17.3% per calendar month
Thanks Roguehalo

blatantly obvious scam attempt.
I also liked the shell bidder who tried to drum up support. Hey, at least you tried there. Plus the screenshots were nice.
B- for effort.

I'm not a "shell" or shill bidder. 
I've seen from his posts that he has an obvious interest in the trading side of the game.
He had the contest about new trade skills and gave 10 Million away.
10 Million is a lot to offer for an idea as a nub player.
Granted the screenshots could be manipulated... but why go to this effort for 1 Billion isk? It's not exactly grandiose.
But, I think he sounds like he's going in the right direction as far as a skillpath and maybe he knows how to make that jump from making 10's of millions/ hundreds of millions to making billions.
Normally, I talk to someone in game before I make an investment. That doesn't always get me great results either - e.g. Wylker and Hanoi Hana.
In all honesty, in this one, I didn't talk to him at all.
Just looked at post history and killboards.
I considered it a relatively small investment and with my schedule - working more than full time for a startup company and going to school full time - I know I don't have a lot of time to engage in market pvp. 
Especially since my corp is out on 0.0. 
So, it's a gamble.
But, like Almiel stated, I think he sounds sincere.
I could be wrong - we'll see.

I had high hopes but between that line and my concerns over how a new player in the game for less than a month earned so much I don't think I'll be investing. If these issues are addressed I could definitely see throwing a few hundred million at this but I'm not holding out a lot hope given your earlier responses.

He clearly has 1+ bil, 10 mil is nothing. He also has not even remotely tried to prove that he is not an alt, which seems very likely to be the case.
The major issue I see is that there is absolutely no reason for anyone to pay 16%. It serves no legitimate purpose these days. All it does is make the deal so sweet it stinks.
I think roguehalo would b pretty stupid to scam 1.5b, so an investment at this point is probably safe, I just hope he realizes that paying back such a small sum isn't going to get regulars around here to ignore all the unanswered questions. If he is hoping to use this as leverage to ask for more money he may be in for a rude awakening.
If this is the last time he ever asks for money, then good luck to him and his investors. Stacking Penalty / Resists Explained |

Exactly!
I thought about buying the whole thing for a while after all the flames, but I would definitely want to talk to roguehalo for a bit before doing that.
He did message me and offer to answer any questions last night - which I found comforting.
I feel secure at this point and wish him and Almiel good fortune in this venture.

If I were you people I wouldn't worry about 1 bill or whatever.
"Why indeed?"
Instead when after a long time he will be back and ask for more then start worrying. He sounds like Riethe to me. You may say that Riethe is a just a mix of mental patterns each of them having a certain incidence among the population. Mark my words: HE WILL BE BACK!

As opposed to you who sound more and more like a Jita spammer and never go away no matter how much we want you to.... By the way, attacking other people's IPO's doesn't make yours look any better.

"Riethe is a self-trained rogue, not very professional, though certainly skilled. She does not see herself as skilled; in fact, she believes that she is not very good, but her teacher Kayahna and husband Elinus tell her they see what she can become. She used to be naive, perhaps more than she was anything else. Being new to the City of [Silvermoon], she did not understand many of the intricacies between the guilds and the daily happenings, so she followed what Lady Jaydence said. This has changed a lot, and she understands a great deal more now."
You'll find more on wiki.

And your point? What does this have to do with Riethe? He's disappeared from these forums just like almost every scammer before him, he is no different. Plus we already had people mentioning the WOW character's name months ago, so you're a bit late to the party. Stacking Penalty / Resists Explained |
