Here's What Should Be Done!!!
Those people who received mucho dinero must be encouraged to donate a small percentage of that money to the BM Helpfund and they MUST BE ENCOURAGED RIGHT NOW!!!
Wouldn't that be a nice thing? The rest of us could also put together a fund for the pipsters that are having a rough go of it right now.
What do you really hope to accomplish other than inciting people against each other by what you are posting? When this comes out on the other side of the storm, you are just going to be ashamed of the words that you cannot take back.
If you really feel like there is no return of the program, move on. Stop looking for a scapegoat, someone to point the finger at and say, "come on gang, let's get 'em and string 'em up."
This whole thing was built to help people. It seems to have had some set-backs, however that does not stop us from doing what we can to bless others.
If we all just put 1 or 2 dollars of egold into a fund a week, I'm sure that fund could bless some real people in some very real ways.
No, I have never received a cent back on my loan, but I got in for the same reasons that I have mentioned above, to help others.
Let's turn all of these threads positive by helping new people each week. Individually it would be too much of a burden, but collectively, it is a small thing, only 1 or 2 dollars a week.
We can do this.
Thanks,

between a rock & a hard place
I'm in the situation were I used my picpay to get some of my work colleagues in to PIPS. The very fact that I went to Hawaii had them clamouring to join. I told them this :-
"This is a high risk investment where you could put money in while having your cornflakes and the whole thing can go up in smoke by the time you get to your mid-morning coffee break"
They still joined. I even ordered more than enough gold in the picpay merchant system to cover their investments but we know what happened there! As an aside - this never gets mentioned that PIPS was still paying merchants up until near the BoN raid (which goes against the mantra of no payments since Dec 04). Abuse of the merchant system is part of the mess we find ourselves in today.
I do have a contigency to pay them back (diversification is a wonderful thing!) but I know for many this is not an option.
BUT, my gut feeling is that PIPS will be back, althoiugh in a much altered form, so hopefully I won't have to put Plan B into action :-)
