They had tens of thousands of fans, eager to know which programs were still paying 1-2% per day (or more!). Now their fans will have to resort to <a href="http://www.goldpoll.com/">other sites</a> to see who is <a href="http://www.talkgold.com/">still paying</a>. Curiously, these programs only seem to take anonymous, non-disputable forms of e-payment, such as <a href="http://www.e-gold.com/">e-gold</a>. Now, all that is left of them is their <a href="http://www1.teamaaronshara.com/">farewell website</a>. Did they retire on all of the referral fees, as some suspect? It is impressive that such effort is dedicated to this <a href="http://www.e-gold-invest.com/">snake oil</a>, but the law of large numbers must make it work. Who can resist 1.5% an hour return on investment? Is this what has become of anonymous micropayments? tag:metafilter.com,2006:site.51213 Wed, 26 Apr 2006 14:38:07 -0800 highyieldinvestmentprograms hyip ponzischeme shara teamaaron Adamchik
