Sartre's "Testament" on HOW he con'ed the investors. (First paragraph)

* Note that ALL Gold was removed from Broker Shares.
** I have taken a screen shot of his "Testament".
*** All investors have received a PM by me directing to this article. Please message the Admin about this issue. We need justice!

Whew. I almost invested in this. It's junk like this that makes it hard for people to start investment banks and publicly-owned companies. 🙁

OK I'm a sucker as well. I guess I have lost 10 shares (Gold) for my lack of knowlege and good faith. It is of course most of what I had. This will make me in the future not want to particpate in the building of legit companies or for those who are looking for partner investors. You know what they say. Once conned shame on them, twice conned shame on you.

Agreed, oredave.

However, I would encourage that investors ask questions and try to cover every possible angle when dealing with contracts. As we were all lead to believe through a sense of professionalism with Sartre, investors cannot just hand their wallets over because a guy has shiny, pearl-white teeth and a cool, new idea.

He came off as being VERY legit.. so please, just exercise EXTREME caution; The best person to protect YOUR investments IS YOURSELF.

This is interesting to me because by the time I invested (as a second wave guy, because some investors flaked out somehow,) the article linked had already been written. I didn't really understand it at the time, but after I signed the contract and sent the donation, it was returned to me by the Organization, with apologies that shares were no longer being offered. I am really just pretty confused as to what's going on overall, to be honest.

Rejected shares?

..That's interesting. Something worth looking into.
Unfortunately, I can't come up with a plausible reason as to WHY he would reject more Gold than the scheme intended. o_0

I honestly fail to see the logic in this all the way around. We all stood to profit from it, so why cheat us? In any case, I encourage everyone to report him. He broke a legitimate contract. That means he gets banned and we get our money back...if we bring it to the attention of Admin. If we don't we deserve to lose our investment because we didn't take all the available steps to recover it. So please: IF YOU INVESTED, REPORT THIS SCAM.

I am lucky. I took my 8 gold out before this happened.

Thank you for the alert!

Dang I sunk 15 gold in to that... :/

I invested and lost 2 gold to this guy. This guy should be permantly banned for scamming random peaple and taking their gold away from them. I'ts not right and I'ts not fair at all. I feel preety stupid for investing with him in the 1st place. two thing that im sure Im going to do when I finish writing this comment, I am going to write to the adminisrator telling him about this sshole how scammed uas and I am going to vote up your article.

As we all do, JDL, whether it be 2 Gold or 20.. it hurts.

* Message the Admin A.S.A.P.
** Feel free to Shout this article. If we can get the sympathy of other citizens to vote this up, and with (hopefully) all the investors voting, we should be able to push this into the Top 5 soon.

Look out for deals with people from PEACE countries if you're from an ATLANTIS country. Defrauding ATLANTIS citizens is viewed as a legit tactic over there.

Fraud. People are so lame. I too invested into this company, and being my first investment didn't know any better. By signing a contract I "thought" I was covered but I guess that just goes out the window too. Anyway, glad I'm making decent money now. The best part about the money I have is that I earned it, unlike some lowlife, wannabe, "E-conartist" Silly kids. Can you not find a legitmate way to make money, even in a world that you DON'T EVEN HAVE TO FLIPPIN' WORK FOR IT?!?!?!? Hate to see what you are like IRL... LOLzzzz.

I did not get 2 gold sent back to my account

I donated 3 gold and received it back the next day. I just thought all the shares were gone.

Hmm, this is annoying. I'll shout this, and message the admins. Do you know the chances of getting our money back?
And has the contract been broken? Admittedly, (my mistake) I didn't/haven't read it thoroughly.

I do believe that late entries were spared from the flame.. and somehow received their Gold back in return.

Still not sure as to WHY he would, out of intent, send the late Gold entries back to the original investor.. he had no problem hijacking the rest of us who were already ON BOARD with his plan.

The best we can do is sit back and wait for the Admins to speak up about this.

** PLEASE VOTE THIS UP THOUGH! SHOUT THIS ARTICLE! With every sympathizer we get, with all the more publicity we earn, we can reach the Top 5 and increase our chances of flagging Admin's attention 10-Fold! **

@Xavier Vee:

The contract has been broken. Mostly for our advantage. It does not allow him to openly RUN AWAY with the Gold, as he admitted doing anyways in his confession and proceeded with.

However, the contract does lack strong details. Had he continued the scam the way he first INTENDED to go along with, he would have escaped through a loophole altogether (bankruptcy) and a free man.

BUT! We DO have the ball in our court! His greed got the best of him and he still breached the contract, according to the contract rules.. no matter how loosely you interpret it.

Voted... and the man reported.

Excellent. Well, hopefully we'll win this.
Go eRepublik law!

Voted. Didn't sink anything I couldn't lose into this, but fraud isn't too be tolerated.

Has everyone sent messages to admin?

any news people?

I lost 5 gold
