Another ponzi affected by the e-gold indictment run away with lies and simple propaganda, please read:

Our Beloved Knights and Knightresses,

We bring this unfortunate news with a laden heart. This is going to be a detailed and an honest email filling you in on the ‘behind the scenes’ that we admins went through for the past 2-3months, so please take the time to read it.

First off, our heartfelt gratitude goes out to alot of you who supported us through thick and thin and believed in us by re-purchasing and promoting our site. Thank you for the trust and confidence you have placed in our unique Knight system.

Its a great concept which fell prey to many variables and did not reach its full potential. Purchases and new membership did not trickle in as expected past few weeks especially after the egold situation.

On hindsight, as many of our knights know, we went through many obstacles from host complains and moving servers multiple times to false accusations to egold and having many of our egold accounts blocked then and even now. Even when we paid promptly everyday the site was up, we were victims of fake bad votes. There was also trolling especially from members who are paid and are in profit. The biggest blow of all were the 22 days of incessant DDoS attacks that took us offline for almost 2 weeks and put a dent on our success. Nevertheless, we paid for top-notch security which kept the site online despite the continued DDoS attacks. However, our worst fear came true and it was all a little too late by then.

Up until the DDoS attacks, site was doing phenomenally well to the extent that if that exponential growth had continued without any disruptions,
we would have build up a reserve so huge that it would have helped LightHalzen sustain for many months down the road. Even after engaging Black Lotus Anti-DDoS package, we were still being heavily DDoSed and site had to sustain further downtime. This time around, new members especially those who just joined our esteemed Knighthood, confidence amongst them diminished substantially and started to withdraw their rebates just to exit out of the program. Unfortunately momemtum lost from then on. Even then, we admins persevered and embarked on an extensive advertising and promotional campaign all over monitors and numerous forums. The quest to succeed was driving us forward.

Ultimately, the biggest unexpected blow was the news of egold indictment. Egold being our only payment processor until then caused a major impact on our program as many in the industry went on a panic mode pulling their funds out and even members didn’t re-purchase as much as they used to. The egold fiasco had a ripple effect on the industry as a whole which further crushed the momentum as new membership was at a standtill and this only further crippled the site. After the egold drama, things did not pick up as we had hoped and thats when we finally dug into the reserve pool of funds. This was necessary as we were not at the stage to allow the LSP to dip below the MAX LEVEL. If we did not do what we did, there would have been a total loss of momentum which would have resulted in the sudden death of the site back then. We were hoping that the panic mode would die down but if you recalled, our thread at MMG was turned into an egold discussion thread.

Fear and uncertainty was rampant in the air. The first course of action we took was to quickly add another payment processor E-Bullion, hoping in vain that things would pick up. Unfortunately, this move did not bring about the results we had hoped for and we had depleted our reserves by then.
Which was why Stage 3 Revamp was vital but this led to a major uproar amongst the masses who started pulling out from the program. Our next move was to add Alertpay but even then, we admins ended up using all of our admin funds to help boost the program, hoping in vain once again that the situation would improve with stable rates and cycle the shares out.

As its evident, its been a constant long drawn out battle for us admins with tons of variables which were beyond our control but yet, we kept coming up with various solutions and never once gave up hope. Someone else in our shoes would have bailed out long ago. We were determined to run this site which was why we continued embarking on our advertising and promotional campaign, buying banners and sponsoring vidcasts. Disgruntled members due to the reduced max LSP did not wish to vote anymore. Paying promptly did not matter anymore as people were more into high risky ROI gambling.

Even after 2 weeks of max 5% LSP, site still failed to show any improvement and since reserves were depleted completely, we could not complete our payouts yesterday as we had to wait the following day’s purchases to clear the previous day’s rebates. When current purchases and reserves are in negative and with purchases not trickling in as expected, we are left with no option but to close the doors of our beloved Castle. Some may wonder, this is a Profit Share site, why not just let LSP take a dip? This wont work out, because it will just cause a domino effect where the next day is 1% followed by 0.1% then 0.01%. If LightHalzen was launched last year, we might have succeeded. However, factors beyond our control such as the egold fiasco is something we never anticipated to hit us as hard as it did.

This has been a great learning curve especially in terms of getting the best security and which ads and promotions bring about maximum exposure for a site but most importantly, we had the pleasure and feel blessed to have met some of the best people left standing in this industry.

We would fondly miss our [milk] Mods and many of our superb Knights to which we can not thank enough. May God Bless all of you with abundance of wealth and good health.

Refunds would be impossible as reserves have been depleted to a negative level. And for those who wish to audit our egold accounts, please feel free to email us for login details.

We admins will still be around the forums and please accept our apology for those who incurred losses. We will still be here to answer any queries and concern you might have and are not going anywhere.

Sincerely,

LightHalzen Team

It’s incredible how William can send an email like this!! :D

You must read it to believe it!! He also recognizes that please-invest was a ponzi and he is requesting new investors!!:

Dear Please Invest users,

Anyone who has been paying close attention to Please Invest for the past two weeks will be well aware that as of the end of April we have been demonstrating difficulty is completing pending withdrawals. This was caused by many events ranging from the indictment of e-gold to a mass withdrawal by members.

I will be honest. For months now, Please Invest has been operating without 100% stability and was always at risk of failing. This was primarily caused by our exorbitant advertising costs which were necessary to ensure that round two would be possible. Unfortunately the final straw was the indictment of e-gold which lead to a mass exodus within the program.

Round 1 of Please Invest is now complete and we will be starting round 2 tomorrow. All accounts have been credited with a 100% loss. All withdrawals have been cancelled and everything is set and ready to go again. This time, Please Invest will operate with the strictest of rules and will not experience such problems as it did during round 1. Round 2 will be entirely backed by real investment activities and will not be a ponzi.

Why would I invest again?

Please Invest round 1 did not work exactly as it was planned, however with round two you will be able to recover your initial investment (if you had lost in round 1) plus you will be able to achieve a healthy profit. If you did end up coming out with a loss in the first program, you are more than eligible to take part once again in order to recoup your loss and reap the rewards that Please Invest has to offer.

If you did manage to profit from Round 1, congratulations. You have successfully accomplished what many have not. Your sound investment strategy has served you well and I encourage you to use a similar strategy in round 2 in order to once again achieve the most favorable outcome.

The Guarantee

When Please Invest first began I posted a guarantee on Guaranteed Hyips that Please Invest would be around until 2012. Please be aware that I plan on upholding this promise and Please Invest will not disappear prior to then. I will always be around, posting in the forums and replying to your emails. Please Invest is here for the members, not for me. My goal is to serve you to the best of my ability and make us all rich. Who wants anything more than being rich?

I know that the situation with Please Invest in the past week has been rather unfortunate however it is merely a small obstacle towards the ultimate goal. Thank you for participating in Please Invest round 1 and I hope you embrace the opportunity to participate in round 2 of Please Invest.

If you have any questions, message my new e-mail questions@please-invest.com

Thank you for your time,
Please Invest

My opinion: William doesn´t want to withdraw such amount of e-gold and be caught by the authorities and he is only waiting what will happen with e-gold situation. Or perhaps he is thinking to finish the program right now.

Dear Please Invest members,

As you have likely noticed, the quality of service that I have been providing the last 4 days has been much lower than I typically provide. Usually I reply to e-mails at record speeds, and make payments within 12 hours. However, I have been traveling for the past few days and I did not anticipate that the quality of internet that I would have would be as low as it currently is. I have very limited access and have not been able to perform all of my usual tasks within the usual time frames. Since I am committed to providing the highest quality of service, rather than continuing to provide spotty service, I will avoid trying to provide service at all.

I will be offline until Friday of this week. Any transactions that are made will be completed the day that I return home, which is Friday. In the meantime, I have cancelled all of the withdrawal requests, since most of you have a few lined up and it is just a waste of time to pay each person 3 times. So please wait until Thursday night or Friday morning to re-submit your request.

There will be no payment Wednesday and there may or may not be a payment Thursday. However Friday’s payment will be the combined total of the few days.

Thank you for your patience during this inconvenient time
Please Invest Admin

After the interview made by Tony (hywd.info) to the Admin of this program (William) here, now you can read another interview made by the spanish Blog invertironline

Be carefull with this program, it’s clearly a ponzi scheme and William continues to refuse the questions about how can he obtains that profit in his program.

You can also read what he answers in Jude’s Forum and the opinions of the members of this forum. He has been very active in this Forum and sometimes his answers are very funny (even his signature: Portfolio: Please Invest, Please Invest, and other one called Please something, please invest maybe?).

Do you think that it’s true?:

A3Union acquired by Caribbean Software LTD, Commonwealth of Dominica. We have finally finished the process of acquisition by a large offshore company, specializing in e-currency transaction system development & transaction processing solutions.

A3Union and A3Card brands have been sold for more than 9M, a quite fair deal for a new developing company. Our Customer Service and Investment services will be improved even more in technical area, more payments methods are to be accepted, more innovative solutions to be offered.

As some of the legal aspects are about to be updated due to offshore laws, we are glad to inform all investors that even more traditional ways to invest will be offered via various offshore tax-free mechanisms.

I wouldn’t invest in this HYIP but it’s up to you

You should read this investigation:

a3union

This one made me laugh a lot : laguna-investment
When they were going to dissapear the Admin of this ponzi sent this email to all members:

“I received message from hosting provider:
We don’t support hyip and other ponzi sites on our hosting, your account will be deleted within 24 hours and now it’s deleted.
May be someone of you knows good hosting for hyip sites with instant setup? I’m sorry for this incident.”

and this email is more funny:

“I’m here. Dear members, trustearnings.com not our site, they use the same template design, no more. Unfortunatelly I can’t open the site again because hosting provider blocked access to Cpanel, last backup was done March 14. May be later I’ll open new site and inform you after this. Please don’t believe clone that say they are LI. Now we don’t have another programs. Thanks everybodies for support.”

And if you haven’t laughed enough, another one:

“I’m sorry but all databases deleted and lost. We have got everyday hundreds transactions. LI is officially closed. All of you knows that 100% hyips will be closed one day. I hope that most of you trust me and support my next program later. May be I’ll refund some funds to my supporters like nia, saffiz, loi… on next fund. Thanks everybodies for support. Do someone of you know good hosting for hyips?”

Incredible!!

Well, it´s the end of these programs and it doesn´t surprise me at all. I talked in other posts about the bad signals in these programs, now it´s a fact.

I hope that you didn´t lose so much money with them, and that you have learnt something more about these ponzi programs.

Many traders can lose some money in one month, but this sounds totally incredible to me. I don’t understand how a proffesional trader can lose that amount of money trading one single month. The first thing to trade is to follow the rules of “money management” and never risk a great percentage of the total amount.

So, what must we think about these losses?.

Here you can read about one member having problems with U-pie and what Voltaire (Admin) answered her.

If this is true, how can an Admin punish some of his clients when she requests the right to receive a withdrawal? lol

“I am incredibly disgusted with you. I can’t believe that you would go posting such negative things all over. Because of this, your withdrawal has been given an additional minimum 7 days holding period as a punishment.” (Voltaire)

She is only requesting a withdrawal and now she is punished!

Remember that U-pie claims that all members can request a withdrawal anytime and they will receive it in a term of 3 days and she did not received her own money after 6 days waiting…

“If I see a single negative post, rating, or anything on any forum your investments will be confiscated entirely. Shut up and receive your money or have me keep it for you being an idiot. It really is up to you” (Voltaire in another email).
