That's an excellent idea Micky. But I'm puzzled as to why you are generating such good publicity for it? And also putting yourself at risk of a lawsuit for breaching the publisher's copyright.
Carefull Mr. Platt, Mickey is into Orgonite you know. Ask him what it means. Its quite funny actually. Right Mick?
It may be that the Pips debacle is having a few repercussions. It seems that FCIB, Pips former bank, may be in some difficulties:
Bermuda Commercial Bank's Board Change & First Curacao International Bank Investigation
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 13, 2006--On Sept. 8, 2006, Bermuda Commercial Bank (BCB; short-term rating 'F1', Individual Rating 'B/C' by Fitch) announced that regulators in Curacao and the Netherlands are investigating BCB's major shareholder First Curacao International Bank (FCIB), for possible involvement in illegal money laundering activities and other related issues. As a result, BCB Chairman and CEO John Deuss, Chief Operating Officer Timothy Ulrich, and Director Tineke Deuss, who are also officers and/or directors of FCIB, have temporarily relinquished their responsibilities as Directors and Officers of BCB. BCB directors Dr. Clarence Terceira and John Sainsbury have stepped in to serve as CEO and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, for the time being.

Interesting,
Wouldn't that be something that PIPS brought down a bank for money laundering. That was what HSBC was accused of at the same time PIPS was using them. Sure it must just be a coinsidence, right? (g)
I don't think that HSBC were ever accused of anything but they asked Mr. Marsden to take his account elsewhere.( I have a copy of their letter to him) This would be normal practice for a major bank, having looked at the transactions taking place on the account and feeling that everything was not on the up and up. FCIB were undoubtedly very happy, as a pretty minor bank, to accept an acount of the size of Pips. What triggered the change to PCI in Manila I have no idea but the inferences here are interesting.
I can tell you that the FCIB closed down the PIPS account due to no books and no answers from BM when they asked for information and a deeper Due Dilligence. The bank was suspicious that there might be money laundering in february/march last year.
Since site went down and some data was lost due to older backup files, I just wanted to repeat this little bit of advice here. Read Owen's book, it filled in so many little blanks it was like finding the missing piece of a puzzle.
Very well done Owen, and I suggest everyone, pro or con read it so you can also see the truth. Many suspected what I have, but until you connect all the dots, you may think it is all speculations, but no, this is how it all went down and now makes complete sense to me, Bryan is one sick person and everyone should hope he gets help.
Thank you Owen, and please note, I am not an Amazon Affiliate. (g)
