You are obviously quite right in many, actually all of the points you make in this post. I do wonder about the mindset of an "investor" of PeterB's that will just blindly believe anything he says when he has to this point offered NO proof of anything. I mean the whole kalter thing was a blessing for him, I do believe PeterG that he checked the IPs to at least confirm that the posts were coming from different machines. But by having Kalter show up at PB's house and then confirm in public he saw the hacking couldn't have been more helpful for PB. Which again begs the question as to why he (PeterB) would just allow some stranger off the street that tracks him down at home to come in his house and then is allowed to look at personal items on this computer.. .very odd no matter how you slice it.
The hard done by PeterB will trudge along doing his very best to pay people off at the rate of 5% whenever the mood strikes him... so if it takes two years as you suggest the sheep will rave about his commitment.. never for second caring that they have basically loaned their money to him for years with NO return at all... simple is as simple does...
Router; I have tried over and over to reply to your PM I hope you don't mind if I reply to you here. I did try to explain the hacking issue in more detail in a previous post. I am not saying what PeterB says happened couldn't have happened I am merely saying that the circumstances that would have to happen in order for them to happen are so impossible to have happen all at once that it defies logic.
let's say for a brief moment that PeterB being the obvious moron he is when it comes to computers really did allow a coder to put his admin password in the database for some reason... why I have no idea as it would NEVER need to be there, but let's assume. Any first year computer science student would know damn well that any passwords or personal info that is online and could possibly be the target of hacking should be encrypted... so now we are not only supposed to believe that PB went against all known logic of coding and had his personal admin password NOT a hash in the software and on top of that he also allowed his coder to leave it in plain text. No encoding. That is sorta like you winning a lottery and on the way home from picking up the cheque stopping to get gas and buying another ticket that wins again... the odds are so beyond belief I don't know how one would go about calculating it.
But just go back for a moment to all the stuff PB said in the beginning, he clearly said the hacker got to HIS account when he moved a bunch of Egold to the account for the purpose of doing a transfer. So obviously the hacker did not only recieve money from the direct deposit of members he had to have PB's personal info to have direct access to his account... unless the wanker put his personal password in plain text somewhere stored in the database... if so he would be the first person probably in history to do so.
I have already rehashed the point of overnight transfers and auto payments and how they work so I won't do it again... suffice to say the way PB has explained the events just don't make any sense to anyone that knows anything about computers and scripts.. add to that the fact that now in GT he is trying to come across as some script and site wizard yet he didn't even know how to protect his own machine or server when they were active..
Jude; I believe you have full personal contact details for PeterB, I was wondering if I had the South African lawyer contact you directly and allowed you to contact him at his office so you could do your own DD to make sure he was legit would you be willing to offer those details? I would not ask for them personally and I would not expect you to give them to me or any other member but I am hoping that you would consider it to a third party lawyer.. which would save me some time in tracking the scammer's details down from other places.
PeterB has proven to be incompetent is so many ways and the crux of the matter is that the he just plainly refuses to offer anything that is REAL proof to the membership at large. I don't know about South African law but I know in many places you can lodge a lien against someone's personal property including their house while you make a financial or civil claim against them. PeterB can of course refuse to comply with those requests but until he does we can legally tie up any and all personal assets he owns or controls, this can be extended to his trading accounts in some cases... it is worth a try to get to the bottom of this.
I think the whole hacking issue has become a red herring that PeterB actually likes having us focus on.
The most important question and really the only one that really matters is, did he actually ever earn 20% in one month? If so how many months.. opening up his trading accounts would tell all the story the members need to know.
If he really did make 20% every month that ClubFX was open then that in my eyes automatically gives him a little more credibility. I don't believe he did which is why he so firm in NOT allowing PeterG or Jude read only access.
If it is proven with trading records that he either never or rarely made the 20% returns he claims, that proves right away he is a liar. That also means that everything else he has ever said now can be called into question and it would also mean that all those sheep that are so determined to back up everything he says will be shown black and white proof that St. Peter lied. So how was he planning to pay them all back their money with those hefty returns when in fact he was not earning that money? That would explain why the "hack" was a godsend for him...and why he won't open the trading accounts, he knows that it's all a house of cards built on the lie that he was earning 20% each and every month...
As soon as you prove that the returns weren't there it then shows how perfectly timed the hack was to save him, add to that the Egold issues at the time and good lord he could not have planned a better time to be hacked. Now why a NASA level hacker would go after his Egold right when Egold was in such trouble and appeared to be possibly closing down makes little sense either, but that's another story...
Ok that is my recap sorry to those I could not reply to in PM sometimes my connection here is Thailand gets very wonky...
