Around the corner in the alley is ‘Little Joe’s piece of yours investment group’

Love the little dog.

To paraphrase the late great Roy Peterson, classic Canadian editorial cartoonist, The Scams Stop Here! Or here. Here dam*it! Okay, okay, here!!! Here ! (we mean it this time)…

Sign erected by Big Al’s Piece of Mind Investment Group

If I can’t invest in Ponzi schemes, what do I do with my money?

All other schemes are allowed.

Big Al’s latest marketing scheme…

Who knew it was so simple?

I’m going to go into DC and see if there’s a comparable sign outside the SC building. I’m guessing “no.”

Glad my parents didn’t name me Ponzi.

Is that a Jan Lewan polka playing in the background? Why, yes, The Count believes it is…

Aren’t Ponzies those green things, you use to make Guakamoallie?

In college, The Count had a good friend from New York with some questionable acquaintances back home who started a couple “pyramid investment clubs” that he took to other college campuses when ours became saturated. He made an absolute fortune since he was at the top before it collapsed and he got away with it, too. True dat. P.S. great stories about being a valet parking lot attendant at a “connected” upscale restaurant and racing Maseratis and Ferraris while their owners dined… “we drove them faster than their owners ever did”. Bon temps…

Next thing should be controls on private equity takeovers of essential health care businesses. So far almost every one of them bought by a PEC was slowly degraded until it had to be sold. To do that the patients were gradually forced out, and the place was stripped of assets until there was no recourse but to sell it. And the same for other lines of business they get into. No regulations and no fuss from government.

Social Security. If we don’t start importing more people to pay the bills, the system will collapse.

Of course the Fed’s run the biggest Ponzi scheme imaginable. . .

The big investment opportunity now is in Bolivian Deep Rock Tapioca Mines that are producing critical boba tea ingredients.

I like the bullet holes in the window

Send it to the convicted Felon-in-Chief!

‘Cracking down on oversight’? I thought they’d just been ignoring oversight.

Careful, some Ponzi schemes are presented as life coaching enterprises.

…and after leaving Big Al’s, you can take a sharp left into the alley…how convenient!

What’s the difference between a Ponzi scheme and the stock market?

.

Well?

So, Donald changed his name to Big Al? Anything to suck up gullible bucks…

WMKVFM dot org plays the Tooth Fairy weekdays at 12:30-something MT and at an earlier time I’ve forgotten.

Loan shark 101

Cobwebs or bullet holes?

The best get rich quick scam has been ruined by poseurs. Getting into politics was once a road to high profit, low labor money making. All on the down low and proper payouts to the right people to keep it that way. Retire early and see yourself called a ‘distinguished senior statesman’. Now any idiot can play. The rules went out the window and all the old way of doing things will get you is arrested.

trump has serious medical condition. He sleep-walks and asks for money as he walks.

Anything you do to him, elicits the same response “I need Money!”

You could drop an anvil on him ( what a lovely idea) “I need Money!” Push him into a shark tank ( another fine idea ) “I need Money!”

Just don’t make him walk down a ramp, those things are scary. “Oh no! A 4% slope! Someone hold my hand!”

By the bullet holes, it looks like Al’s been having a hard time – disgruntled investors, perhaps?

If you go to Big Al’s and see photos from a trip to famous sites of Egypt, run.
