April 2005 no withdrawl and I'm worried to be honest.
March, 2005. Hoping for good news by end of year.
November 2004 for me. Hoping it comes back!!!
28 February 2005.
Rescue
I joined in April 2004, and put in around £4,000. I have had to date £32,000 back from my initial investment so you could say that I was happy to join Pips!
Still keeping fingers crossed it will be back!
in august 2004 , maybe......
:beer: March 2004 My Own Money Twentyeight Thousands Dollars. Din't Make Any Withdrawals. Well I Get My Own 28 Thousand Back???????????? When The This Is Over????????????????????????????
Joined Pips in May 2004....that seems a life time ago now.
...instead of the horses' mouths.
People have their different points of view but if you REALLY want to know what's up with PIPS, run the silly bank through Google and CALL the nearest branch to you. They have satellite sites in London and in New York.
When I spoke with the office in New York, the individual familiar with PIPS said all were anxious for this to come to a "satisfactory conclusion for all". The investigation, from the beginning, was ludicrous. The nuttiness continued with everyone pointing the finger. Let's keep that finger pointed where it belongs. It DOESN'T MATTER, who says what under a pseudonym or whatever. We would just like to see some sort of resolution from THE BANK ITSELF. THEY got the money! Our money! And they take THEIR sweet time trying to reconcile this matter.
I had posted information earlier as to who to email to at that Bank. I'll see if I can find it or maybe you will if you search these posts. The BANK is keeping track of emails in a database and ALL will be informed FROM THEM when a resolution is achieved. They are, unfortunately, notoriously slow. NOT BRIAN, NOT ANYONE ELSE, HAS CONTROL OVER THIS MESS.
If you want to holler for at least your initial investment back, holler at the BANK. The more we holler at THEM, the quicker they might get with it and get it done. THAT is where the concentration should be; not in an online forum except to impart information as to what to do to speed things are that are EFFECTIVE. The pro's and con's of what was is no longer a point - except that this BANK decided to figure out, from my guess, why THEY weren't getting money for transactions and felt THEY were due money.
Again, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF BRYAN OR JOE BLOW posts whatever. Your money and investment is your responsibility - NOT THEIRS.
In rebuttal to an earlier post, "You risked your money as stated on the website" - okay, I buy that to a point. It said, basically, outside of the whole financial world turning upside down, everything was intact. This was NOT the case although any money invested in anything is a risk.
The "maybe failure" of PIPS had nothing to do with it's principals nor investments. I fully believe it had EVERYTHING to do with a greedy little bank who wanted a cut of the action and seized everything - and takes its sweet time to find fault while the rest of us lost. Of course this was unforeseen by Bryan and everyone else. Who would ever imagine THAT?
Please HOLLER at the Bank. The more and louder we holler, the faster there might be a resolution. To surmise in this forum is fruitless at this point.
WE WOULD JUST LIKE SOME ANSWERS FROM THE BANK!!!!!
in most of what you say, I agree. Perhaps even that there might have been jealousy involved. However, the latter I have no information on as few, if any, have information about the investigation.
However, it seems to me, if it was not jealousy, there must have been some reason to justify an investigation and shutting down an entire program with investments in different parts of the world. On the other hand, BNM would have no right to block such investments, meaning, they should still be earning if on an uptrend and thus safe.
If it was jealousy, then there is a big problem as the bank is a national government bank institution. The possibility of making things appear as they should, to prove their case, is not an impossibility. That would be something else hard to digest. In that case they might not bother worrying about the customers/investors of PIPS. They might just try to get what they can within their legal armsreach, sharing in the pie.
Hope I am wrong, but governments the world over have proven themselves less than transparent in matters of money and power.
If you have a contact email for BNM, I would appreciate this.
What are your thoughts, friends,
