I have very little sympathy for those stupid/greedy enough to 'invest' and who have lost their savings.
I am struggling to make 10% a year in a legitimate investment. Anyone who tells you that you can legally make 10% a month thinks you are stupid. And if you believe them, you are!
But I have especial disgust and contempt for those who set up this illegal scheme and for those who knew it was wrong but still 'invested' and subsequently 'persuaded' their junior colleagues to take out loans to make 'easy money' while sure in the knowledge that they were merely feathering their own nest at their junior colleagues cost.
Disgraceful behaviour all round and I am very pleased at the stern sentences handed down so far. But many more are guilty of supporting this fraud and should be brought to court too.
