Awkward Honesty, A serious attempt at running a legitimate and transparent Ponzi scam.





Hi again!

whew time flies when you're having fun, doesn't it? seems like it was only yesterday that I've started the AWHO program and already I have handled close to 5 bil worth of "investments" (or "inevitable deathtraps", whichever you prefer). not every round has been as good, but all in all I am feeling pretty confident about the stability of the program. those of you paying close attention, indeed I have been supplementing a few returns left and right, but with the early bird program instated, I sleep like a baby at night.

anyway,

for those of you wondering what AWHO is:


Awkward Honesty is a ponzi scheme. I am accepting investors to dump their isk in a pool in return for an outrageous profit margin. everything that follows from there on is a fraud; I don't use your isk to invest in anything, I don't play the market, I don't speculate on items, I don't trade characters, heck I don't even log in. all I do is sit on your isk and try to harvest more investors, so I can pay your returns from new isk. indeed, I can't keep this up for ever, so eventually the whole thing will go to hell and people will lose isk. but until that day, lots of profit can be made, with return rates up to 13,7% per WEEK.

I'm still working out a few of the kinks as we speak, but so far we've had 3 "healthy" rounds and since neither concord nor customs can do F@ck all about it, it's time for round #4 Pirate

So ultimately, AWHO is nothing more than a fraudulent scam?
yep.
Blink
However,
so is 90% of the offerings, IPO's, bonds and loans you will find on MD. the main difference between those and me is that I won't ever insult your intelligence. there is nothing worse than a scammer wasting your time over a measely 400 mil, only to try and rub it in your face up until the point where you, out of spite, dump the same amount in bounties on his head just to be done with it. its a waste of time, effort and energy and it's evil.
I offer something different:
Full transparency. I will provide all the details of how much isk is in the pool, what I intend to do with it and how it gets returned at the end of the term. I trust you to be smart enough to do the math and draw your own conclusions. after 3 rounds, I feel like the contours of the psychological aspects are starting to show. AWHO #01 was sheer disbelief and the mandatory lulz, followed by 450 mil of investments. AWHO #02 was a huge lift off, after people saw that I actually paid out and kept to my word. many of those investors didn't show their face at AWHO #03, probably since people expected me to call it quits after the 3rd round. I wonder how many rounds it will take before people realize I am in it for the long run... Cool
I will do everything within my power to try and stabilize the AWHO rounds as much as I can. I shall not run at a mere few bil.
oh and have no fear, eventually I may indeed run off, either when I can't resist the urge or when the returns become too much for me to handle. but until that day, you can make quite a bit of isk.

Lads and gents,
this is round #04.


what's in it for you:


Arrow a 9.3% return on your investment.
Arrow a 10.1% return on your investment for returning customers.
Arrow a 12,2% return on the highest contributor of the round, from hereon dubbed the Most Valuable Investor (MVI)

the terms:
Arrow minimum investment size is 50 mil.
Arrow round will go until friday, December 27th. payouts will happen within 24 hrs after that.
Arrow round will start sunday 22nd, 23:59 eve time.
Arrow no max pool size.

If you are interested, contact me per mail or post in this thread with your desired amount. upon confirmation, send your isk to me with description AWHO#04

AttentionThe Early Bird ProgramAttention


What it is:

From now on, I will be allowing people to reserve a spot on the next AWHO round at 11,4%. I am introducing this for very obvious reasons, namely to feed the payouts of the previous round. because of the perpetual nature of a ponzi, it will become harder and harder over time to payout the investments. the early bird program will stall this process and will make sure the ponzi will live longer and eventually grow bigger.

So what if my early bird investment turns out to be MVI?

obviously, this would be awesome. for that reason, early bird MVI's will see their return percentage upgraded to a full 13.7% return! that's right, 13.7 %! how awesome is that!

How to apply:

Post in this thread or mail me your desire to become an early bird. also, include how much you would like to invest. upon confirmation from my hand, wire the isk to my account with ticker AWHO#05EB (at the latest on thursday). once received, I shall update your EB status on the forums. easy does it! Cool

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

All the best,

Sanchez.

DISCLAIMER

Whew... lost track of time there!

pay outs have been a few days later than expected, sorry bout that guys. I changed your payouts to 20% for this round. SeRpEnT, I have paid out next weeks EB investment as well, so your wallet should be reading 360 mil from my hand. Drago, for you that's 120 mil.

as for AWHO#05,
I will be away for a few weeks, I'll be leaving the 20th of this month and will be back around the 20th of february. I might run a special for that one month period, just to keep things flowing. but more info on that later.

As for now,
turns out I haven't scammed anyone [:D]
Haven't really gained anything from it either, except for a good course @ crunching numbers in excel. still, it's been fun so far.
Trust is a funny thing, even when you think you know someone the chances are still 50-50 every time again... it's all about the risk.

Now, let me work out the terms for the next AWHO initiative. I have a clean slate to my name so everything is possible from here on out.

hope to see you all in one of the future rounds!
Best,
Sanchez
