Hi again Roadie:
I just wanted to comment on something you said here...

DXGold doesn't "let" us withdraw cash. It's the nature of the system. We are always trading in and out from DXGold to other ecurrencies and back again. Once the money is in ecurrency, it's out of the system. We can just keep it there and do what we want with it. Usually, at least once per week, every bit of my money (with the exception of maybe $1) is completely out of DXGold. Also, you can request a direct bank transfer from DXGold as well. It will take several days to complete, but it is another way to get your money out.

Again, DXGold is not a HYIP. It's an ecurrency exchange network.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - I'm not going to pretend that *some* of the points to raise don't give one pause. Especially the stuff about the company being offshore where there are very few laws and regulations stopping them from dropping out of site. But, I still have to consider they've been there for over 4 years, with several hundreds of thousands in DXGold portfolio values they could have walked with many times. Are they waiting until the number reaches a certain threshold before they scoot? Maybe. I guess everyone has his (or her) price, but it could happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone -- even with companies that you yourself would consider legitimate with NO red flags.
Until tragedy strikes, I'm going to defend DXGold because it's working for me. But, if it does fall, I'll be the first one here admitting I was wrong.
Dave

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
