  • Richard Ploszaj entered the tank seeking $5M in return for a 49% equity stake in his "revolutionary" bike model - the "TROPPO BICYCLE". Richard promised 100% financially secure and risk free. Projected return of $5 billion in 2020.
    Rule #1 in any business: never make state their investment is "risk free".
    An international sensation, Shark Tank AUS features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Tank from our Sharks, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

    this was not a scam, this man was delusional, he does not understand how finance works, how the tour de france works, and maybe not even how pedals work. His pump action pedal is no more efficient than a traditional pedal. Yes it has more leverage, but leverage merely generates the same amount of force over a longer time. So there is no power advantage over a traditional pedal arrangement. You get more go for every pumping cycle, but every pump cycle takes longer. There is a still the up and down motion of the feet.

      What you missed is that he puts the 2600$ (x 20 bikes) into a government fund , which matches it dollar for dollar. At any given point in time he withdraws his 52,000$ , and has 52,000$ from the government. Its all very risk free and 100% guaranteed.
      ( x 1000 by 2020 after winning the tour of france , he makes $52 million. You didn't ask me for the figures, but I gave it to you anyway )

      I mean, the fact that he simply chose to make 20 bikes and then sell them at cost to test the market really isn't that big of a deal. If he, as a random engineer self building these things, can make them for $2,600 and get someone to pay $2,600...then a business expert can very likely find ways to produce them for a lot less and sell them for a lot more.
      It's just...everything else he's saying that makes him ripe for the looney bin.
