    This video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam. Others would call it a Napoleon Hill pitch.

      If you can record it legally, record it. If you need to write a receipt, write it on anything, gets a signature, get what you can because you don’t know what you might need. Use crayon and scrap paper if that’s all you have, DOCUMENT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT! And don’t toss it just because it isn’t immediately effective, it can be handy later.
      If you don’t, that’s how you lose a lot of money and resources, whether that be to some big scam or just a (previously) trusted friend. WRITE. IT. DOWN.

      @Jasper Percabeth Believe it or not, most of the major corporate scandals in this century and even today are still uncovered by old school journalism. Just a few examples include FT's reporting on Wirecard, Olympus, and many others, as well as WSJ's coverage of Capital Assets and of course the old school Enron scandal. I'm not saying that independent investigations are useless, but it takes big papers with resources to take on huge corporations.

    I get the feeling that a lot of these "victims" know that they are participating in a scam and hoping to get out early enough to profit off of the misfortune of others. This is the dark side of investing and if you are actively participating in it, then you get what you deserve. Regardless, this is phenomenal journalism.

      bingo. You see this is many of these scams. Looking into what they were doing it's like "how did they not see this? nothing about this looks legit" but yet they still do. and some probably did make money on it. Just we'll never hear from them. These people wish they were those few.
