Why don't you suck that coffee UP your nose for once???

The Tim... Dear The Tim...

Don't you EVER slow down enough to understand what you're reading??

Has it escaped your attention that Dave -- who asked the question -- had NO CLUE that any of the "gold" companies had been raided by the FBI, or that the money had stopped flowing.  ALL he had to go on were the promises from Mazu (who has always been Matt in my book; who the h-e-double-tootsie-rolls is Michael?).

Anyhoo, in view of the information he had available at the time, his questions are PERFECTLY REASONABLE... and by coming to a place like this and ASKING THEM, he is doing the sensible thing.

Also, you may note that he did NOT buy the course because he could not get the answer he sought.

Alsotwice, reading between the lines is quite possibly beyond your capabilities with coffee blowing everywhere, but it is more like INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY at this point -- which is quite different than looking for fairy dust so you can get your fair share.

Now let's get down to brass tacks:

> I warned everybody away from it

Yes you did.

And he wasn't sure... remember that part?

> He's still taking that 'wait and see' attitude though,

As is everyone else left holding the bag, don't you think?  (No, you don't think, you just spout, but I digress.)

eDave owes NO ONE because he did not PROMOTE IT... don't you get that?  Nobody who lost money -- even me -- can blame eDave for it.  I asked him tons of questions, he warned me that I may never see my money again because nobody was quite sure how it worked, and I CHOSE to sink my life savings into it (okay, so it was only $35.00, but it's all relative, right?).

He was NOT recruiting anyone, and that makes all the difference.

If he had been responsible for a bunch of people losing their money, nobody knows but eDave if he would share the wealth -- from which springs my theory:

I suspect he would be more eager to share it than you would.

> Not THAT much honesty among thieves these days is there?

The Tim, you don't want to go nose to nose with eDave in the Integrity Department, cuz in these parts, I expect he'd win by a landslide.

Luv,
