Thread: Requesting info on past BM ventures

There was talk last year, (it may be on one of my convention CD,s also), about PIPs going public. The old forum was in full debate on the pros and cons about such a big step, but we were generally all pretty excited about the possibilities of becoming shareholders in the PIPs companies.
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 :)

"Not true Reg......we only want it one way..........."The truth".
Thats the only way. "

Precisely! So, if "the truth" cannot be told for reasons best known to BM, then PIPS needs to perform - it hasn't been from around Dec '04 right up to Aug '05. Thereafter, of course, we know its the BNM situation. But what about before? All conjecture and speculation due to a lack of explanations.

Yes, I'm familliar with the song - we are not owed an explanation because of the disclaimer...etc.

That was good observation. I remember that too. Maybe Brian will consider that now.

I am also in an other private club that runs very smooth without any problems.

We are owed an explanation on the basis of trust and support though.
If only for common decency.
I woill not invest in any more BM backed projects for sure.
Badly mismanaged however well intened.
Surely even the "cheerleaders" see this.

hey bryan, we in s.east london still have faith in you. C'MON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
