Petschel is currently on probation after pleading guilty to securities fraud. According to a bankruptcy filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Petschel allegedly promised to invest $168,000 that he collected from several people, but instead spent some of the money on items like jewelry.
Petschel has been on the losing end of three contract disputes, including one in 2002 in which he was ordered to pay $50,000. The Circuit Court of St. Louis County has no record that he's complied yet with any of the rulings.

Looks like the path of skepticism was the best benefit, maybe there's a lesson to be learned here.

That's a pretty damning article. Too bad. I'm sure we were all excited for something like this to come. Article released July 20th so it's pretty new. However, this might bring some new ideas for mobile business.

I think there's enough "how to get people's money without doing anything" business ideas out there.

Here is another type of system. Anyone hear of this one?

http://www.acncanada.ca/acn-products.html

It is based like the previous one (you can sell them) but backed a bit differently...

Eg. The most luxurious communication device in the world.

So many alarm bells going off in my head when I read this:
Quote:
ACN offers an opportunity to be in business for yourself but never by yourself…the potential to finally earn what you’re worth…the flexibility to work when you want, how much you want…the freedom of time to enjoy life…and the support system to make it all possible.
Any company that relies on "success stories" to get me to sign up is a no-go for me.

They just sell Telus products, so it's not GSM, and it's not another type of system. The landline is just VOIP or VOIP plus reselling Telus' DSL.

It's probably just like CIA and Shaw, they just resell the product and try and get away with spending less $ on service agents and such to make some money. CIA's service is worse than horrible.
