The persons that have lost everything did not follow what was clearly stated when signing up for an account in PIPS; “do not invest more than you’re afford to loose..”
I remember joining one of Bryans meeting in the summer of 2004, and I bet that 90 % of the people left that meeting thinking that this man could walk on water.
PIPS was not set up for the professionals, unfortunately,...but I am thinking about all those that invested their money they could not afford to loose, and especially those that are living a miserable life due to promises that was based on pure lies.
I do not blame those members for joining PIPS, but I blame Bryan and the cheerleaders that seduced these easy targets and purposedly lied all the way to the bank!
I had evidence already in January 2005 that PIPS was a scam, and when I contacted PIPS and talked to them on the phone regarding serious irregularities, the management would not come forward or even respond!...
I can not comment the charges that has come up recently in Malaysia, but there is much more to it seen from the other end of the rope! With that I mean lies, neglects, direct accusations towards members and miscommunications will most likely never reach the court room!....and my guess is that there are perhaps 100's of members that have a similar story to tell.
I am personally convinced that the Marsdens has commited serious crimes, and my hope is that justice will prevail!

It’s very easy to say what i said I guess because I was lucky not ending up in the same situation, but I can really see that they where mislead by Bryans big words.
I only attended in a few smaller local meetings myself (at a stage when still allowed) and I never met Bryan in person. I had people around me though, some of the “real *******s”, who had met him and also had a VERY strong belief in PIPS and Bryans words (I guess most of us had..). They where talking very convincing about PIPS and I was close to invest a bigger amount myself. From what they also told me about Bryan and how great this system was suppose to be I have no problem to understand that many did fall for Bryans promises and reassuring words and invested much more than their financial situation could take if it would fail (but that was never suppose to happen, right; we all remember Bryans promises and reassuring words saying something like he had made sure PIPS would be strong and last even long after he’s was dead and buried….
I don’t have evidences for conclude with either the one or the other but must justice happen in the end.
I lost thousands & so did some of my friends and family!! I'm glad to see this coming to an end. Is there any chance of getting our money back??
Where is our money??

With all due respect, many of us experience pride. Very, very few of us start designing investment programs on the internet that cannot keep what they promise because of that feeling.
In regards to our money I hope we will finally know for sure in the coming months. The low amount quoted so far should clue as all in that there were no billions being handled at Pips, contrary to what the website tried to impress on us, although Picpay might just be in default for one or two.
BM got caught up in the "flock" believing he was a GOD. I think it went way deeper than just money for him....he was more hung up on the power and control he had over his "flock". I have said all along that their situation was VERY MUCH like Charles Manson and his Flock. I was dead on. Marsden is in jail, where he obviously belongs until he dies, and his flock still thinks he is innocent. Kind of scary actually, because like I said before, I have no doubts at all that some of the flock would most certainly kill if Marsden asked them to. I honestly believe THAT IS how hypnotised he has them. Newlife most definiteley being one of them, IMHO.
rough country!
You are not far from the truth!...it is actually called "cult" behavour.
mrdome and myself tried to warn the members at the PIPS forum from falling into this trap you just described.
Guess what happened?....99% of the cult immediately jumped on us and called us by names!
Well, what can I say other than you learn by mistakes and next time you meet a person like Bryan, just remember he or she can not walk on water!
I lost a small amount of cashola, nothing that I couldnt afford to lose.
After seeing that photo I cant help but feel sorry for Bryan and Sharon. They really look like broken people.
I wish them well and will always be grateful for Pips because Pips led me to information that helped me to change my mindset and educate myself about more than just money. That is something that I will have forever.
Dear Mr Owen Platt,
Im not sure whether you are right or wrong in all the posts you have made in here it is of know concern to me, however you do say a lot of things in regards to BM and all the bad things he has done to us. I noticed that you said you were on the board of a Bank. Maybe you should sit back and look at some of the decisions you have made as a board member of a bank and the misery you have given to people.
