Hi friends, I think today I have the worst news for you, as we all were expecting the goods and bads about our beloved program GNI so now we have an outcome, and for sure which is not so pleasant but it could be a rise of new day and in the future there will be some good news waiting for us. Besides all these hurdles the admin of GNI has again proved his integrity and promise all the investors who are not in profit, to issue a refund, and I for one personally feeling too bad that such a good program is going to end like this, check the newsletter.

Greetings to the Most Loyal GNI Friends, Family & Associates and; Nemesis:

As I have mentioned in the forum, I have spent the last few days in Northern Cyprus trying desperately to obtain those funds which belong to us – members and principals of Goldnuggetinvest.com.

Besides myself, I have been privileged to be assisted by Counsel (one of our attorneys) to not just make a strong presence on behalf of some faceless arbitrage project; indeed, but to help me place a face on the thousands of loyal GNI Customers who have (rightfully or not) depended on our presence and weekly payments to:

1. Pay the rent or mortgage,
2. Pay doctor’s bills,
3. Pay for a family member’s schooling,
4. Retire in a manner that is consistent with the years of service provided to their employer,
5. Take a well-deserved vacation with someone special or
6. Have some peace of mind in these troublesome times.

Despite our best efforts, and monumental efforts were made by all concerned, we could not get the directors, regulators or oversight administrators to relent. There were several tactics employed, a couple of which were most creative, but it was of no use. We thought we may have a foot in the door, only to have it cut off. What I can say is we tried damn it….we tried our hardest; but we could not overcome this hurdle.

Without this income, we go in reverse. We have had suggestions, offers which included members giving us funds, members willing to delay the taking of payments, partial payments, the entire spectrum of suggestions; the reality is, however, these suggestions amount to a band-aid when in fact a tourniquet is called for.

I must, for the sake of the sanity of myself and my family, the GNI Team Members, the Principals and our most trusted customers, shut down Goldnuggetinvest.com effective immediately and permanently. This decision will not be reversed.

Refunds: Despite the ‘disingenuous’ overtones having made its way around the world of on-line investing, we will be refunding those members who are NOT in profit, an amount equal to 101.5% of their principal investment (this includes interest payments already received) rendering EVERY person who invested with us, more than whole as defined by Commonly Accepted Principles of Accounting. The instructions will be provided within the next 48-72 hours; will be straight-forward so this can be expedited.

The new GNI: GNI has the concept, the tools and the strategy somewhat perfected in the world of Sure-Bets. We will be making an announcement at 08:00 (GMT) on Friday, March 12 as it pertains to our future. We can give a hint: It will be a completely and totally PRIVATE program fashioned in a manner that is compliant in any and all world-wide jurisdictions with no limitations. This program has been in the planning stages for nine months and was to be run in parallel with GNI. Nothing more will be said until Friday.

Summary / Conclusion: I want to take a moment to thank all of you, our GNI family for all the kind words and support you have shown over the past several months. I never anticipated some of the hurdles which we had been forced to try to navigate. This program was my baby, you were my extended family. This program was a sense of pride, an attempt to help those of you who needed it the most. I have never, nor has my team, hid from reality; perhaps we were a bit over-confident, but our intentions were and always have been true.

Our next chapter will be very bright, very private, but very bright. I hope to see all of you join in the journey.

Thank you from my heart!

With kind regards,
Robert and the GNI Team

Dear HYIP Destroyers
Thank you for your info including enough to track you down to central Nigeria. You do not seem to know much about PTV because we are one company that is not a Ponzi scheme. I realize that it is very dangerous outside with your countrymen running amok with machine guns, machetes and spears, but this extortion attempt is your timing, not ours. I not sure if extortion or blackmail is a crime in Nigeria you will find out soon enough. We are contacting police in Kaduna and Abuja. i realize that they are very busy at this time but we will keep complaining to them until they have time to take action. I am sorry that running away at this time may be very dangerous for you, but you have given us no choice.
Regards,
Ozi.
PTV Partner team.

Further to the HYIP Destroyers saga….added to my reply…sent a complaint to his ISP as well…
Dear HYIP Destroyers
Just to keep you posted on what is happening. We have received messages back from both police offices that they are very interested in catching you because you claim to have been doing this for 4 years. They have told me that they envisage around 5 years in prison for you. They assured me that you will be well looked after by the inmates of the prison especially if you are young and handsome.
They have told me that the armed insurgents have become more violent because of the alcohol they have stolen. They have isolated most of them in the area around your town. They suggested that I warn you not to try to escape because the chance of being hacked to death by them is quite high. Coincidentally one of our members lives near you and would like to pay you a visit. I think he wants to pass on some info about PTV, but he did not specify.
___________________________________________________________
He has started posting…all from the same IP address.
He is the admin of http://www.stanbic-profit.com/ …have tracked him down….now he will get a taste of his own medicine….
There are 2 ways of handling this….
His Name is Mike….his IP address is 41.206.27.111
___________________________________________________________
Dear Mike
I hope you don’t mind me calling you by your first name….
So HYIP Destroyers is the brainchild of the admin of the failing Ponzi Stanbic-Profits. I have a list of monitors from http://stanbic-profit.com/rate-us.htm that I will start posting to shortly if I do not see retractions of what you have already posted. You are just a standard scammer. Any smart person would have hidden his tracks a lot better. I guess you are going to find out what the inside of prison is like after all. I am sure the members of your scam site who have lost money would love to know your details. Isn’t this exciting? Did you know that I have been a scam buster for many years and have ways of finding information on pathetic scammers such as yourself without any difficulty whatsoever. Now you have really opened a can of worms. I have to decide whether to allow you to post more negative stuff about PTV and get the benefit of the publicity or expose you immediately. What do you think?

There is also a good news for General Income (you can read the review here) investors, as you all of aware about the LR problem while making deposit in General Income, it has been finally sorted out and now you can deposit without any hassle, and the another thing General Income has changed their phone number so next time if you are planning to call them try this one only:

Hello!
We changed our phone support number to +1 (254) 655-1531

I would like to start today’s news section with the long awaited newsletter of GNI, I am agree that the administration of GNI is doing their best to recover from the situation and help the members but at the same time investors need results which is of course not good at the moment and personally some of my readers has reported about the non payment of February dues. Let’s see what Robert (admin of GNI) has to say:

To the Loyal Members of GNI:
It has been brought to my attention that many have become quite concerned of late because of the limited posting and corresponding in which I have engaged. To you, I apologize. I am taking every reasonable step to preserve the integrity of GNI, myself and my team as we face these obstacles which, frankly, are very difficult to overcome.
I wish now to address a couple of the most common and forceful objections you have made against the GNI team. That of course is the “guarantee” that is made on our website with regards to sports arbitrage (trading). Arbitrage trading, is in of itself, foolproof. I stand by this! What is not foolproof is current, past and future market conditions. These include things such as the political environment, natural disasters, current events, global trade and recession, regulatory interference and so forth.
Those who dislike us will never accept us for anything but a PONZI. Got news for them: We’re not a PONZI! They say that we will have an end some time soon…. I have very pragmatic news for everyone: At some point in time, there isn’t a business venture that will, at some point, end. Whether its this year, next year, one hundred years or a thousand, EVERYTHING has an ending. We just happen to feel ours is not yet there!
Equally so, if I am anything, I am honest; so I have to acknowledge, our backs are against the wall. That which has hurt us the most is:

The freezing of our assets by our bank’s (Yesilada)intermediary bank.

This, more than anything, has put us into the situation we are currently struggling to overcome. Market conditions are something we have no control over, could never plan for and are well beyond our control. Indeed, but for this matter in of itself, we would be continuing status quo, and all would be happy.
Many feel I have no compassion because I can’t respond to each and every member’s concerns or personal struggles. Rest assured, this situation we face is harder on me than all of you combined. While the project has been profitable, of late it has not! The personal assets I have put into GNI are substantial but that is not the point of this response.
I see what the naysayers are posting. I have eyes and I care, not what the neggies say, but what our members say. Those who have supported us through good and bad times. Those who are not in profit, have a special place in my heart! Some may laugh at this, those who know me best will not. They know how important all members are to me, rich or poor, whatever part of the world they may reside.
What is the point of this is? I want all of our members to recognize the level of effort put into the success (and yes, failure(s)) we have experienced over the last few years and that we are not quitting! We ARE struggling, but as much as we struggle, we ARE fighting for our customers, the employees, the principles and for the respect we feel we deserve.

Thank you,
Robert and your GNI Team

Hello again friends,

First of all I would like to offer my apologies to my readers as I didn’t update my blog for more than one month without any prior notice, actually I went on an emergency vacation, I didn’t had time to inform on my blog and unfortunately that place was not having Internet connection also, so I had to away from my blog for this long. I would like to mention that Moneyinvestnews is still new but I really have some very caring readers who mailed me to know whether I am alive or dead. LOL. When I read those mails I was really surprised anyway I am really happy that I have some good readers and I would like to say a big Thank you to them to being with me.

Ok from today, again you will find genuine and useful information on Moneyinvestnews along with latest reviews, Interviews and Daily news update. So today I have come up with a new program called General Income, have a look on detail review.

Description:
General Income is a new short term investment program in hyip arena launched only 3 days before. Actually General Income is a group of some successful traders based in Panama and basically trading in Forex, Stocks, Indices and Commodities and recently they have started to trade in Sports arbitrage too, but there is no proof has been provided by them to validate their claims about trading in anything and usually I have seen very few programs in this industry who backed up their claims with real proofs. However proof doesn’t meant anything until unless peoples are honest behind the scenes, many programs are coming up with proofs and scamming members money very fast. General Income has a really eye catching layout with very easy navigation, and in the navigation menu there is a section called “Proof” where you can see some latest payment been made. General Income has published one phone number which belongs to United States and personally I didn’t check it so if you have any questions then you can directly call them. Let’s see what they have to offer as investment plans.

Investment Plans:
General Income is offering very simple but at the same time very profitable plans. They have three investment plans to choose from and all of them will pay you at the expiry of the term. So its first plan called General Plan will run for 3 days and will pay you 110% at expiry including your principal and the deposit limit is here from $5 to $1000, it means your profit will be in this plan 10% only which is not a bad deal. Next plan called Starter plan which will run for 5 days and you can invest in this from $10 to $2500 and you will get 120% at the plan expiry, just keep in mind your pure profit here will be 20% on your deposited amount. Now comes the last and little riskier than other plans that is Advanced plan which will run for 10 days and you can invest in this anywhere between $20 to $5000 if you want to earn a nice profit of 50% on your deposit. In my opinion all plans are good enough for majority of online investors but still it will be your choice to opt the risk and the plan.

Payment Gateways & Reff Comm:
General Income has not disappointed any online investor as it is accepting all famous Payment gateways such as Liberty Reserve, Perfect Money, Strict Pay, Solid Trust Pay and Alert pay. There is no fees have been imposed on any of them. Payments are instant on all processors except STP, on Stp you might have to wait as long as 12 hours. They are offering standard 5% commission on your referrals deposits if you are an active member.

Security & Hosting:
Like other aspects of General Income this field is not left behind also, that’s why General Income is hosted on a dedicated server with SSL installed for the security of all online transactions and to protect the website and its member base from DDOS attack they have chosen the protection of KODDOS. In a nutshell they have come up with a very tight security so investors will feel safe while investing in General Income.

Special:
I would like to inform you that General Income is having an exclusive chat party on 10^th March, where you can participate and win contests for cash prizes, for that there will be a special page available on 10^th March. There is another good news for the investors of General Income, every 10 days there will be a “Special bonus Pack” for the biggest investor of last 10 days, who will receive $500 cash prize and General Income surprise bonus. I hope there will be more contests to come so watch for it.

For me General Income is looking very nice and simple investment program (as there are no proofs have been provided you can play it like a game) with sustainable plans and as it is in early days so many investors can take advantage and earn some nice profits but always keep in mind this is a short term program and usually short term program are having a short life span so play it safe.
