Message:: [QUOTE="Juan Blanco, post: 1601103, member: 41665"]Check the revision:"1. Do you think the SALE of Norfed Ron Paul Dollars helped him in his presidential bid or not?" I think that hundreds (perhaps thousands) of deceived or misguided "supporters" bought these coins imagining their purchase would fund Dr. Ron Paul's campaign. And (bottom-line!) such belief was patently & transparently FALSE: their money went elsewhere. Much more likely, many (most?) Norfed vendors practiced predatory opportunism on gullibles. That's another NEGATIVE (in various ways.) Where tens of thousands of Dollars of supporters' funds were channelled into unrelated products benefitting private, unaffiliated 3rd party vendors exclusively, was the Paul Campaign ostensibly HARMED by this fraud? I think it probably was (3rd NEGATIVE); and hence, their soft denunciation. Think of it this way. Does the creation of fake Gucci handbags "help" Gucci, a net positive? No - and the very real ($$$ legal) effort by Gucci to suppress that brand-piracy makes sense.[/QUOTE]
