It isn't greed to want to get ahead. I had no knowledge that it was at others' expense…if I did, never would have done it. I was ignorant of RE investment and trusted the wrong people.
coreclient and conned by crooks,
I call B.S. on that one…Here's why.
1) You looked at traditional savings accounts/cd's and thought 1-2% interest in a savings or 5% in a CD wasn't going to cut it. You catch wind of someone that claims to be able to return "20% return with very little risk/no risk", and you figure, "cool, easy money". I call that greed.
2) At the lure of 20%, you don't just give a fraction of your savings (leaving everything else in whatever you have investment/saving account). You give the personal EVERYTHING about you (not just your money, but things like your SSN,bank accounts,etc, everything), becuase you wanted that 20% gain on your entire life's worth. I call that greed too.
Just admit it. Greed was a motivation. Everyone has it to some extent, some more than others. To say you participated in this scam and that you were not motivated by greed is like saying you don't care about money. It's completely contradictory to why you gave the congroup money to begin with.
My beef with what was posted about ocrenter is I don't see the connection to his frivolous lawsuit to either your or coreclient's predicament. You're trying to connect the two and trying to get sympathy, and their two completely different things. What ocrenter faced is no different than some smuck that runs into in traffic and then turns around and sues you for something frivolous. You're trying to draw parellels on something that is completely illogical.
Everyone at some point in time has been somehow conned in someway. And that includes me. To some extent, the messes we get into are our own doings. Get over it.
It's you and coreclient's battle, not the rest of us…
