Does it not scream "Scam" like the previous magical number of £3million scam the week before?

If it doesn't Simon, I've got some investments in the South Sea area that you may be intersted in, can't lose, guaranteed huge returns, and no bubbles involved whatsover, definitely not.

Its like being asked to pay for a meeting with Dhinsa, or Walter Mitty

The whole thing seems odd. It seems US based, hence paying in $, he won't get any publicity over there for this and everyone who has looked at the site has said it's terrible. It might be free advertising but that's not much use to him if everyone thinks it's a crackpot idea and his website is rubbish!

Simon doesn't think it's a 'crackpot idea', so it's not everyone, is it?

Without a doubt that's the worst website design I've seen in at least the last ten years.

Tells everything we need to know about this 'idea'.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

Just because we report something does not mean we endorse it.

My thoughts are, this is an unsecured investment with requisite levels of risk, possibly less safe than Fletchers PSL.

I won't be touching it with the proverbial bargepole.

I'll have the last laugh when we're back at the Ricoh and my ST'll have only cost me £120, and you suckers will all have paid full whack.

In to win.

He hasn't taken out any advertisements with us to my knowledge.

If he wanted to pay us and take an advertisement, I dare say our sales team would talk to him. As they would any other potential advertiser.

However, we have run stories on his idea based on its news worthiness. There's no doubt it justifies coverage - whether or not you think he is legitimate, capable or trustworthy.

Crikey. The shouty council out element haven't half got their knickers in a twist over this story. What a lot of fuss over nothing.

The Telegraph pretty much have to report it, otherwise they'd be accused of ignoring something relevant no matter how frivolous and opportunistic.

(I'm clinging to that as I set up my Kickstarter page)

Seems to be going well at the moment. $150 dollar pledged already. All of whom seem to be related to the Martin Kelman.
