    Henderson Nevada is offshore? I missed the big quake I guess.
    I understand and use offshore banking. But my returns aren't that high. And philanthropy is unrelated to banking.
    We'd consider 6% monthly. Fees usually a point, less if substantial.
    There are bankers here. We get it. Just not your claims.

    Alright fine - I just had someone explain it to me.

    They included this very helpful photo as well which should make things clear to everyone else.

    I Googled this, and got:

    Prime Bank/High-Yield Investment Schemes
    I. Introduction

    Ever since Breton Woods and the formation of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in the late 1940's, the major banks in the world have engaged in trading programs among themselves, yielding returns ranging from 10% to 100% per month, at little or no risk. Only these banks, and a few select traders authorized by the Federal Reserve , are allowed to participate in these trading programs, which are principally designed to generate funds for humanitarian and other worthwhile projects. On occasion, particular traders allow individual investors to participate in these secret trading programs by pooling the individual’s funds with funds from other investors until a certain amount, usually a minimum of $100 million, is accumulated for a trade.

    However, these individuals must enter nondisclosure agreements with the traders and agree to contribute half of their profits to a designated charitable cause.

    Interested? Your investment advisor never told you about this? Maybe that's because all of what you have just read is false.

    Three of us on the same board dealing arms? What are the odds. Funny meeting you guys here. Do you also deal drugs? I had to set up a part time business to keep the wife busy, so now we're into drugs as well:D I was also thinking about setting up a shop in the Sahara Desert selling sand. Any takers? I guarantee a return of at least 94% a month.

    I have done the maths, and recommend that no one here participates.

    Just think what it would do to the price of F cars!

    Al Gore?

    I had an uncle with over $200 million so he had access to private bankers. He opened an account with $10 in my name 30 years ago (back then we had 123% monthly gains, not this measly 94% we're getting nowadays). Now I own half the planet. I was going to buy Pluto, but when it lost its planet status it turned me off.

    I have to say, I'm shocked our resident banker hasn't posted up details. Shocked.

    I guess I'll just invest all my money dolphin wax.

    This thread made for an interesting Monday morning read. Thanks gang! :D
    At first, I was like "7 pages!?! WTF?" No way I was gonna read every post.
    Glad I did...
    Is the OP going to get banned? 'Cuz if he's still active, I'm getting into trading collectibles and have a clock in London that might interest his investors. You know, from an "humanitarian" perspective.

    I love these threads! Thanks for the chuckle!

    Unicorn steaks... Mmmm! Love them grilled with an olive tapenade.

    Wasn't that guy trying to scam that f40 also in Nevada?

    Oh no. I did 93% last month. Very possible. OP will back me up. I do it regularly. I just can't seem to get that extra 1%. If I did, my boss is going to give me a toaster as a gift.

    Actually Uwe Gemballa guaranteed me nigh 94% return from a humanitarian project in South Africa after I shipped my stockpile of old Porsches stuffed with money. Still waiting to hear from him.

    You are all children. I have PM'ed our new Banker friend and he has set me up with a fund that will earn 98.45% per month after his fees (yes he was being modest). I don't think he's going to accept anymore investors bet you all feel dumb now!!

    I recently made a killing selling designer colostomy bags. It wasn't easy getting Ralph Lauren and the House of Versaci on board, but now we've got the market "in the bag". For once in my life, I've finally gotten in on the ground floor of what's turned out to be a wildly successful enterprise.

    And all this time I thought you were in Pork Belly Futures...

    Live and learn, I guess.
