By the way, Owen, seeing as how BM has been charged or alleged as being guilty and nothing will change until this results in a conviction, will you be amending your book of fiction if and when he is released?

LOL!

But of course! My publisher is eagerly awaiting it as it will make an excellent trilogy with my other volumes "When Pigs Fly" and "Perpetual Motion for All."

Owen,

This is not a disrespectful question, but I was just wondering what you were doing here?

You were not invested in Pips, so the reason must be either as a gloating "I was right, you were wrong", or to drum up sales for your book.

To be honest, I've got no problem with either of those answers as they are both fair, I was just curious. Surely you have other things to be doing (like most of us, really!).

nej it's simsple I assure you a lot of people who never joined Pips is watching Pips saga because it is very interesting case for anybody who is exploring cult-minded people and psychological conditioning in general. Besides its excellent case of mass manipulation.

Very true!

Agree!....when you ignore history, it has a tendency to repeat itself.
Remember Nazi Germany?

Nej, of course it's a reasonable question. But it is a very similar curiosity that drives me to still show an interest in the upcoming trial of the FIBG personnel. I wrote a book about the case (still being used as a brief for the attorneys) and it would be strange if I did not continue to pursue it.
I must admit that until I started looking at Pips I had never realised the extent of the fraudulent investment schemes on offer by way of the Internet. Now that I do, I am seriously considering the possibility of a more general book on the subject. Pigs Might Fly is a possible title!

Oh, and by the way, I am most certainly not gloating. I feel only sorrow for those who were conned. And I really don't think my postings here would have much of an effect upon sales, one way or the other.

Ok, thanks for the honest reply.

Curiosity is a powerful thing (show me a switch marked "Do not press this button" and I'll go crazy!
