True. Duck and Cover time. Instead of starting another business in 2010 I will move funds around to take advantage of opportunities, get my Instrument Pilot rating current, and travel. All at great rates. May as well spend before it is taxed or inflated away; but spend slowly and maximize my enjoyment. The calculus has changed from 'Maximize Profit' and "Minimize Cost' to 'Minimize Regret'. Not a good sign.Quote from Lethn:
As far as I'm concerned this is just the eye of the storm, the people who actually believe this crap are the ones who are going to get suddenly swept away while the wisest of us will stay in cover until it is absolutely clear things are over.
Then according to your logic there is no fraud, it's just the stupidity of the victims, right?Quote from Lethn:
I actually find it amusing that the majority of these people losing their money actually bloody deserve it with the kind of business practices they pull. The rest of the time it's either some poor sods caught in the crossfire or they've gone and dumped the blame or gotten rid of their competitors.

What, if those fraudsters are specialized in doing fraud, and they sure are, it's called organized crime.
