Hello, everyone. I'm here to present you with an opportunity.

Alas, this opportunity is only for the brave or the foolhardy, because I'm offering you very little in the way of details. I do not wish to disclose my plans, because I do not wish to share my market or my margins.

I seek investment - money. In time, investments will be repaid, many times over - by current projections, the more money I get, the more money everyone will make.

Dividends will be paid roughly weekly, in proportion to investment, after a brief lead time to establish the operation and begin generating profits.

This should scale with further investment as I get it - I'm hoping to get at least a handful of early investors, who can report back on the success of their investments, encouraging further investment, which will help to produce a greater profit in which everyone will be able to share.

If any investor wishes to withdraw their capital, they can - if the investment being withdrawn is large, then potentially liquidating the money will take a few days, but no more.

This extremely detailed plan by a starter corp alt that's been around for all of a year and a half seems entirely legit and well thought out. Reserve me 20B ISK.

This legitimate investment venture is what I'm looking for. Where do I send the ISK?

so the merchants with tens of billions don't do what your probably going to do like every week?

your going to have to reveal, in private to each and every interested individual of your exact plans and literally be able to show cold hard proof that you are doing it right.

This is quite the pledge! Think of all the money you will receive from the people quitting the game and giving away all of their ISK for 1 trit.

Hmmm, I better bet big to impress all these MD tycoons...

I would like to invest the the Jita system. I know what you just heard was, "I would like to invest some of my Jita-based assets", but what I actually said was that I wanted to invest the entire contents, liquid ISK and assets, of the Jita system.

Madoff actually fulfilled his Onomastic destiny with his scam.

Sounds like a solid and secure investment. I'm sure I'll find one who'll pay for me ^^

Does this venture in some way involve an inherited treasure map from a kooky grandfather?

His uncle, the crown prince of Nigeria was killed in a plane crash I bet. And he left US $45M dollars in a bank in Thailand and he needs our ISK to get it out. How could you heartless bastards make fun of this man for doing what his uncle would want done?

I pledge a package of kosher hot dogs and one of my old jock straps to the effort.
