Weekly Investment Report [Dueling Ponzi Scheme Part 4]

Day 838, 02:21 • Published in Canada Canada • by Plugson
As one duelling ponzi schemer has previously claimed, logos do inspire trust.

Nevertheless, a sleek icon with flashy text on a lengthy article are not the real things that lead investors to the door of a CIBC,
or a Swiss Industries,
or Cathair Cathal,
or Victory Bank,
or Standard Bank& its wing,
or(my personal favourites) North Kanata & Northern Enterprises & Arctic Enterprises,
or Environment Industries,
or the dozens of other orgs shut down by Admins every month.



Would you trust this logo?


So what does inspire confidence? A friendly PM? A solid donation record? Perhaps a good referral? Maybe none of the above. But when we do invest ourselves into a con, we funnel what little we have into the pyramid of diminishg return, a journey down the shrinking rabbit hole until we are buried in personal debt.

Here are four simple rules as to why we go for the banana in this monkey business we call investment e-banking:

1. In every market there are those who profit off of those who do not. It’s not a game of wealth generation, only a sleight of hand trick of shifting returns. In an investment scheme, the more control the victim thinks he has, the less control he actually has. Gradually, he will bankrupt himself. I, as the investment advisor, just help him along.



2. Distract the victim by getting them consumed in their own consumption. Investors are not producers. No, they are consumers of a game designed to consume them. Toss them a bone and give them just a little of what they think they want, and let them believe there’s another banana coming another day—no, not the next, or maybe the one after that, but soon. Just look at the books



3. The bigger the environment, the easier it is to control. Though you may think the variables entailed in managing multiple assets only complicate a scheme and make it susceptible to discovery, the size it grows from kiting one org’s overdraft to the next entails that is necessary. Not only necessary, but more effectual in perpetuating the illusion in the eyes of the victim who simply cannot believe that…



4. ...The bigger the trick, the older the trick, the easier it is to pull. This is based on two principles (and not the ‘principles of return’): a) They think it can’t be that old. b) They think it can’t be that big for so many people to have fallen for it. Eventually, if the investment advisor is challenged or questioned, it means the victim’s investment, and thus, his intelligence, is questioned. No one can accept that, not even to themselves.




Everyone thinks the pyramid is your frien😛
--solid wide-body base (C’mon, EVERYBODY is in it!) that offers stability
--no off-center or top-heavy weight that could lead to a collapse (C’mon it’s a SOLID investment in a STABLE organization)
--Any precipitation of from a windfall naturally percolates down its sharp angled structure, straight as a gutter into your pocket (C’mon I made a GREAT RETURN and so will you. EVERYBODY is making some money on it)




What everyone forgets is that they’re looking at it from the wrong angle – they got it all backwards, upside down. That pyramid is a funnel, and you’re at the top That’s right THE TOP, not of the pyramid, mind you, but of that WIDE-MOUTHED funnel that is going to suck you right in:
--everything precipitates inward, good to the very last drop
--at the other end of that funnel is another pyramid that fills its base until it begins to tip like one of those waterwheel clocks you might have seen in the museum as a kid. It’s all a matter of time – Tick Tock, before the drop
--the funnel doesn’t build up like a pyramid – it drains down. There’s no ultimate pinnacle you can reach because up is down once you think you’ve reached the top.


So, there’s no business like the monkey business. It’s an old one – a big one -- and you won’t want to admit who’s got you by the banana until it’s too late.

Just remember that if it’s big, and shiny, and everyone’s got one because it’s going easy, it’s probably a replica. Check that logo and see how long it runs – it may be a fake.


Now that I’ve explained to you the rules of the game, there’s nothing left for me to hide. I’m completely open to your trust and a ponzi you can safely invest in. There’s no more tricks in this clown’s pocket, except for this timepiece of genuine Swiss manufacture - takes a market downturn and keeps on ticking.
