There was,nt a learning curve. Bryan used investments for the old clone system. When that failed, the 2% that he opened up to members in the fall of 03 formed the basis of the new programme, PIPs, in Feb 04.
The growth of that programme has been phenominal, and you could say the management structure was never in place to handle such a volume. It struggled from one crissis to the next, all duly logged on the old forum.
Bryan, it seems, held supreme control ,not only regarding money matters, but how the company would resolve itself. Gary may have been second in command, but he never had a voice that I heard.
If you sift the facts, you can reach your own conclusions about the sad state of affairs we face today, this is just my opinion so you can sift that also :)
