If this dont make you see things clearer!!
I saw this posted on another forum and I think this explains things perfectly.
If this dont make you understand a little clearer then there is no helping you.

What if,--
You dropped off a bunch of your most expensive clothing to a well known drycleaner. You pay in advance for the services because they promise to deliver your duds when they are ready. Weeks go by, no delivery. You call. No answer. Concerned, you drive over there. Business is shut down, windows boarded up, a small note says : call (800) 867-5309 for information. You call, and a woman named Jenny refers you to a website. You find out many people paid and never got their clothing back. You find out the owner, Sam, had other businesses, but they were all mysteriously closed as well. Questions and concerns, and yes, anger and frustration abounds on the website forum. People needed their clothing weeks ago, where is the owner? What happened? Rumors swarm. The drycleaning business was a front for moneylaundering. The mob owned it for drug smuggling. The owner really wasn't a dry cleaner. He was sending the clothes to India to be cleaned by peasants who were selling the clothes out the back door. People complain to the authorities. A cease and desist order is posted. Then the DA's office gets involved. Finally the owner starts to post a few things on the website, but nothing specific. "We'll be back, but I can't tell you more." "I don't have access to your clothes." "We'll be back, but in a restructured form" Then, one day, the owner posts, "Comeback teaser." "We are currently working on opening our VIDEO STORE. Everyone who was a customer at the dry cleaners can sell videos to others and we will give you a cut on the profits." Many customers were perplexed, and then upset. "I don't have time to sell videos, I just want my clothes back..How can you open a video store when all your other business are closed?" Now some old customers of the dry cleaners who never had clothing lost jump into the website. "How dare you insult Sam, they cried. He's a good and honest man. He sponsored my son's little league team..he donated money to our charity..I had a beer with him and he is the real deal..He always returned MY clothes and he'll return yours too, be PATIENT>this is not his fault, how was he to know the people in India were selling clothes out the back door, his trusted manager was somehow in on it...Didn't you read the sign when you dropped your clothes off, the one that said "In the event of a worldwide catastrophic increase in the pH of drycleaning solution, your clothing may instantly dissolve without warning, so only dryclean the clothes you can afford to lose.!" Meanwhile the DA continues to investigate, but won't comment on anything. People return to the website, more and more customers come out of the woodwork everyday. "Do you still HAVE OUR CLOTHES?" They asked. "I can't ANSWER THAT", said Sam, in all caps. "HE CAN"T ANSWER THAT, SO QUIT ASKING, WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON ANYWAY??" Sam's supporters all cried. "WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR CLOTHES?" cried the people who originally trusted Sam, but were by now feeling very upset about the whole thing. This went on for months and months (and months). Meanwhile, the DA continued to investigate.
Then Sam answered, and he said,
"Buy some videos, I may have more good news later." **
This may make a difference...
Newlife,
Have you stopped to consider the difference here? The reason that you may hear a little discord in the forum is because your "out of control" members are not "getting paid without problem." Of course there would be no complaints or authorities involved.
Just try to understand....These people have waited and waited and waited and just when they think the end of the tunnel is near, that bright light that was hopefully the re-arrival of pips in some other form, turned out to be the light on the front of a freight train bearing the name on the side of it "HALOTTO"
Everything will be alright afterwhile, I keep telling myself, I keep telling myself, I keep telling myself. After all, I have to tell myself something. I can't get an encouraging word from THE MAN
Anyway, that's all I have to say. I think I'm getting tired. Gonna go home now.

[QUOTE=newlife]After seeing way things are going I feel that Bryan will consider change new Pips in to private investing club, same as one I belong now.
He would not have a trouble dealing with members that are out of control.
We have a peaceful situation in our club and everybody is getting paid without problem . No complains and no authorities involved at all.
Someone suggested to Bryan this option, and I thin would be smart.
Speculations and Bickering still on going.
Hey Guys, and Gals, WHY are you all still bickering over the situation? Everyone here Knows they can't do a danm thing to change it. All that is going on here is everyone who was going to share, and buy each other drinks In Portugal are now starting to argue over the situation. Sure a lot of this stuff is Not right, Nor seems fair to us who have invested Easy, or Hard Earned MONEY. But when the money was invested We all were told it could collapse. This is not a collapse, Just a setback! Bryan was the King , The GOD, The MAN, when Things were running smooth, and quite a few of us were getting our ROL in the banks, and pockets. WHOOPIE, OH BOY, Finally found the Program we have been looking for, for years. Well BRYAN ran Into a few A--holes that want him out of the picture, and don't want US, the LITTLE people, to Buck Government Policies. They would rather Keep the Little people from Making money . control the little peple and the Masses type thing.
Bryan Has taken a hell of a A-- Kicking by the Authorities! Isn't that enough to discourage even the heartiest of Man? Most good men would have tucked tail, and ran like hell. Where is Bryan? He is right here amoungst us. still kicking back as hard as he can, and I for one Believe He has our intrests in heart, and mind.
So I say as I always have IT isn't Over till the fat Lady sings. La dee da dee da! Have faith, and give our CEO Bryan some support, and belief. HE is WORKING on the restructuring of a New PIPS. HE will let us Know.
In the between time. Try some thing different to help yourself supplement, and make up your losses, and keep your Idle Minds off your "losses".
You all know where I am Making quite a nice supplement, and it is so much like PIPS that anyone who is in pips will find no difficulty relateing to it. If you don't Know where, Look in investing, and advertising forums here. Or PM ME. ask for INFO. :rant: :biggrin: :beer: :thumbsup:
