[QUOTE="coinman0456, post: 783462, member: 18177"]The OBJECT of this thread had thrust me back in time to the year 1971. I was in the business of transporting U.S. Diplomatic Communications out of an office on 5th avenue New York. One Winter Day a gentleman walked into my office and asked for 30 minutes of my time. I invited him into my office and he blurted out, " how would you like to be apart of my plan to make millions of dollars" ? I chuckled quite loudly, and replied " I would not do well in jail at all ! " He got very serious and than proceeded to lay upon my desk a bunch of papers with charts , graphs and lots of dollar signs. His presentation was quite interesting. He asked that I review the presentation further at my leisure and that he would contact me again in a few weeks. It sat on my desk a week or so and his call came. Being embarrassed that I had not done what I agreed to, I asked him for another week to review his presentation. I did. I also conferred with a few well trusted associates and my attorney. All the feedback was negative. To make a long story short, I declined to pursue any thoughts of joining him in his venture. Now I'll tell you his name.
