Fool me twice, shame on me: Russians fall once again for notorious Ponzi scheme

June 01, 2012 22:06

A huge financial pyramid is set to collapse in Russia, leaving thousands of families penniless. This is no surprise – the man running it is the Russian Bernie Madoff – Sergey Mavrodi – an infamous criminal… and a hero to his followers.

In a way you have to admire this guy.  I cant understand why any upstanding right-wing/conservat ive/capitalist/liber tarian would complain.  He has just taken the game and gone pro.

I remember seeing many of these pyramidal shemes in the 80's in Europe. I even found letters in my mailbox, or enthusiastic highschool's buddys!

You will probably always find people who are hooked by this kind of easy money dreams.

Risky games, but some gurus like this Mavrodi or the more sophisticated Madoff - didn't he created the NASDAQ? will prey on these naive people.

GoldMorg anti at Karsten ;; its possible to acquire wealth without others misfortune. Its lootersprofitfundame ntalism that destroys a hundred till a zillion times as much as the catch that the looters manage collect. Its the big father of all destructive fundamentalisms and the GoldMorgs use little else.

An end must be put to the capitalist system. Under socialism, the philosophy of profiteering at the expence of others , called exploitation, is abolished by the social and economic basis of collective ownership and a just distribution of the wealth on the basis of labour . The crisis of fraudsters robbing Russian people blind today is due to the restoration of capitalism. This is the price the great Russian people are paying for reverting to the system of exploitation of man by man.  The evil machinery of gambling and selfishness now a component of the sophisticated system of  penetration of Russia by Western Mafia finds its expression in pyramiding , corruption and theft of state funds and must be fought by the State now as was done in Soviet times. The people are still very trusting of others , a quality that is indeed noble rather than evil and one must therefore sympathis e with them.

Criminal enterprises do not go bankrupt; their assets are seized by the state on behalf of the victims, and the felons are arrested.
The state should not aid and abet a felon or a criminal enterprise by giving them the same legal rights to file for bankruptcy as a legitimate institution or corporation.  
This is going on in America in the M.F. Global case.  John Dillinger in an Armani suit, Jon Corzine, is now known as 009, a British agent licensed to steal and kill.  He is political armed and CIA dangerous.  Do not try to apprehend him unless you are an alien.

GoldMorgs caused this. Mavrodi harvests on common Russian distrust. That distrust has been established in CIS by the GoldMorgs looting of Russia during the decade before hte president Putin. We of LOTto.KG plead to president Putin for protection against the next assasination attempt on us by the GoldMorgs.

All the people who invest are aware of the risk, everybody knows how this works and accepts the risk of trying to make money before it breaks and then get out. But if you invest you whole life savings, that's just stupid.

       You really mean there are still some idiots not well-bitten by the scams perpetrated by MMM in the early Nineties to learn from it? They needed lots of our sympathy!

The only thing I can say about wild west capitalism is --- "If it's too good to be true then it's not true." I wonder what Lenin would do to this type of magot?
