I believe I said all that . . . . .

The pro's should have known better and the common man should have been protected by regulatory authorities to a greater extent.

Nevertheless, one per cent per month, regardless of conditions, is not normal and is right up there on a "should I trust it?" level with these local development companies essentially promising the same thing on mortgage bonds or promissory notes.

There's a place you get to where even the common man has no excuses, where greed has overtaken common sense.

Pigs get slaughtered.
