Stupid World

Well you sure as fuck don't. By your own admission you not only know fuck all about it but you can't be fucked finding out. So 'scuse me if I take your opinion with the grain of salt it's worth.

Moron.

... A fraudulent investing scam promising high rates of return with little risk to investors (same as a bank, except it's legal). The Ponzi scheme generates returns for older investors by acquiring new investors (just like a banl as according to you new money comes from new investors). This scam actually yields the promised returns to earlier investors (the earlier you will have started the more your principle will have grown), as long as there are more new investors. These schemes usually collapse on themselves when the new investments stop (why has the financial system, failed? did someone mention lack of investment?).

Naive cretin.

So, a Ponzi scheme is about as similar to a functional economy as you are to a financial expert then.

Not the slightest resemblance.

That sounds a bit like what the person running a ponzi scheme would say about how their scheme was a legit investment.

It does, eh?

Even so, through an unbelievable run of absolutely stunning luck I've managed to avoid falling foul of any of the thousands of Ponzi scheme exponents loitering all over the fiscal landscape.

God alone knows how anyone else manages to survive the septic death trap that is the modern economy. We're all doomed, doooooooommed I say.

And you know there aren't because? there have been a few $billion ponzi's exposed in the US and I believe that there are hundreds if not thousands (can't remember the number from an article I read a month or two ago) multi million $ ponzi naughty boys languishing in US jails as we speak. Or are you saying that because they haven't been caught yet that ponzi schemes don't exist?

And here's a little list. Notice how the number grows across the centuries.. Did you know that the financial system is nothing more than a ponzi scheme?

Dickhead.

You are such a wally.
You said "hundreds".
There isn't even 100 in the last 10 years on that worldwide list.

As for you comment about the financial system being a ponzi scheme, you haven't got a clue, have you?

I take it you looked for yourself? No? Let me give you a helping hand. Bare in mind this is from 1 country..

It operates on exactly the same principles.

So, one shyster per 3,000,000 Americans.

That's a stunning level of honesty from the country that invented the Ponzi scheme.

Especially given the number of gullible and greedy residents.

It operates on exactly the same principles.

But you don't know that. And you can't be fucked learning anything about how economies actually work. Which makes your opinion worth precisely nothing.

Now fuck off you silly, ignorant little ingrate.

Really? because you often sound like the seller but then again you could just be the ultimate victim

God alone knows how anyone else manages to survive the septic death trap that is the modern economy. We're all doomed, doooooooommed I say.

Well at least you got that bit right even though your reasoning might be a bit suspect.

BTW the American's didn't invent the Ponzi scheme, they just gave it that silly name.

[Ocean1]

Yeah? When was the last time I offered to sell anyone something?

Well at least you got that bit right even though your reasoning might be a bit suspect.

It was an obvious pisstake.

Who's sounding like the ultimate loser, now?

Well if they were all at it noone would be working for a living and paying for your free lunches. It's only possible because of money ya know... and think of all the shit that people have to go through to bail these fuckers out, the services that get cut, the jobs that are lost, and the knock on effects of those services being cut, jobs that are lost, not to mention who gets stuck with the bill. I guess you empathise with them. Oh and just to make that clear, I wasn't talking about empathising with the 3 million per shyster that get the shaft.

But you don't know that. And you can't be fucked learning anything about how economies actually work. Which makes your opinion worth precisely nothing.

Now fuck off you silly, ignorant little ingrate.

Of course I know that, it's easy. You find a list of characteristics that make up a ponzi scheme, then you find a list of characteristics that make up a financial economy and finally you perform a very simple analysis. Even silly, ignorant little ingrates like me can figure these things out. I'll spare my need to retort in kind on this occasion, as I feel like I should empathise with your situation having once been that fuckin dumb.

If you believe that the international finance system equates to a ponzi scheme you are a complete moron.

Did you make your ponzi characteristics list and see if those characteristics are reflected in the financial system, or is that too scary for you? Coz until you do, you're more of an uniformed idiot than I am, in fact taking such things on faith makes you a zealot... which would mean that every single "anti" post you post is really just you projecting. Which would make a huge amount of sense given your greater intelligence and intellect, yet inability to want to find things out for yourself because you read it in a book.

interesting, you equate victim with loser. Often the victimiser is the loser in a moral or social sense and the victim is just that. The victim of a bully is the victim but the bully is the loser, same with theft and Ponzi schemes.

You are nothing but a wind bag full of insults. When you can't argue back you resort to personal insults, now that is a loser, whilst Mashy and I (no I don't totally agree with Mashy but he has more dignity) might be the victims of your insults you are the loser.

Isn’t that pretty much what defines a victim? In my experience victims lose money/assets/skin to those that exploit them.

Often the victimiser is the loser in a moral or social sense and the victim is just that. The victim of a bully is the victim but the bully is the loser, same with theft and Ponzi schemes.

Nah, real victims don’t give a fuck why bullies behave that way, it doesn’t make the slightest difference to the victim. And far more often the victimiser or bully is simply an arsehole with no excuse whatsoever, moral or otherwise. Apart from that you're correct, bullies, thieves and fraudsters are all arseholes.

But none of them threaten the world economy.

He started it.

Now, have you got an actual point to make regarding ponzi schemes and the fools that throw their money at them or are you all wind?

Piss or get off the pot.
