Some guy posted on the forum that they could earn 300 billion in 4 years by leaving 10K in PIPS.

    Answer: Bryan answer was basically that we should keep in mind that this would be the value of his PIPS account, not actual funds that he can withdraw. It would take quite a while to do that. And yes, he would be able to handle it. He said only 5% of members would do something like this anyways."

    Now let's just assume a membership of 80,000. 5% of that would be 4,000 members. Let's then multiply the 4,000 members by $300 Billion. Still want to explain to me how this was legitimate?
    by my calculations
    The Guy was wrong 10,000 left for four years untouched would be 86 billion

    and who could keep their hands out of a cookie jar for that long

    You would have to be around to experience early events, and since you were
    not, worrying the same bone only blunts the teeth. I would think everyone else
    has already had a bellyfull and just as ready to doze off :)

    That was always the given explanation for any of the huge sum claims. And quite rightly, too. If I had a billion quid sitting in an account in funny money I wouldn't leave it all there - I'd get it out into a real bank account. Therefore BM was always protected against that question.
