Consider this investment option a win-win opportunity: as there are (always) people who prefer to invest a larger sum (and recover it with return after deduction of a relevant % as a donation) rather than donating 1$ or a small sum (without return). In other words, this is not about 'wanting' a return... but about the existence of a limit beyond which one isn't prepared anymore to give... but still prepared to loan.Quote:

So imho this thinking is perfectly understandable :wink:.
(btw... the investor was a donator too... )
