It won’t be me doing time.
I did nothing wrong.
If you feel otherwise, call the Riverside DA. If Duncan, Montecastro, and all of them are still running around after having stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from INNOCENT victims, I certainly have no fear as I can PROVE that I never profited, only LOST. Call the DA, SEC, FBI, CDC, and DRE…let them know how upset and pissed you are that they haven’t locked us up, the people who have lost everything…tell them how proud you are that Duncan, Montecastro, et al still walk the streets among you and have never been held accountable.
Your hatred is misguided and misdirected. The malice that drips from the keyboards indicates other issues in your life.
You Still don’t get it…the Bad Guys STILL don’t get the blame for their THEFT and Chicanery, just keep blaming the VICTIM.
We certainly don’t need validation from you.
But if you got off your high horses for a moment, instead of patting yourselves on the back declaring your own superiority, there still remains the fact that people are primarily uneducated about real estate and ponzi schemes. Normal, regular people need to know what to watch out for. Maybe they are out being experts in their own field, what’s the point in hiring ‘anyone’ in the real estate profession if you need to become your own expert? That’s like telling me I need to know enough about medicine to operate on myself, and if I can’t, I didn’t do due diligence. How silly is that? Your arguments do not hold up.
Now, have a nice day.

December 1, 2007 at 3:17 PM #106575temeculaguyParticipantConned, I’m not blaming you but I’m also not letting you “only” blame others. You got taken by the scheme, I didn’t and I am not an expert in the field nor does my job have anything to do with R/E or finance. Your analogy about having to become an expert in medicine is flawed. You need to know the basics, two aspirin if you have a headache, a hundred might kill you. That’s a more accurate analogy of someone making 100k a year buying a few million in R/E with borrowed money. You now have a circle of friends within the support group of victims but don’t think they are indicative of all non experts, they aren’t. The vast majority of people don’t fall for this because they were given pearls of wisdom from their parents, grandparents or mentors. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch,” “If something is to good to be true, it is,” and “Don’t bite off more than you can chew.” These cliches are cliche because they are true, they have always been true and they always will be. No matter how you spin it, no matter who you try to “educate,” you will never learn your the lesson you already paid for until you look in the mirror. There is a reason my grandmother doesn’t drive on the freeway, she lacks the skills and her vehicle lacks the ability to drive 80 mph, when she does it everyone honks at her and she runs the risk of getting killed. Either learn from your mistake, educate yourself that even if these people were honest there is no way for you to skip business school and become a tycoon, stay on the surface streets and next time you try for the freeway, start off in the slow lane.

December 1, 2007 at 3:20 PM #106595Allan from FallbrookParticipantConned by Crooks: What about asking simple questions? I understand and don’t disagree with your point regarding a general lack of education in real estate, but what about basic math?
Not to sound like a smarta** here, but why weren’t you and the other participants asking questions about the “deal”, and how this whole scheme worked?
There are Harvard MBAs working on Wall Street that don’t have the expectation of financial independence in three to five years. I would think buying into a get-rich scheme piloted by the likes of Duncan and Montecastro, two individuals with little to no experience as financiers, would have drawn at least some suspicion when it came to their claims. Because it didn’t, I have to fall back on the belief that this was nothing other than simple greed. All the education in the world doesn’t help when greed overwhelms your common sense.
