Closure of Gni and Other News Updates

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:
