Hi,

Thought I would drop in and see what the latest buzz was. The above exchange caught my eye. I can provide some clarification on just who said what, goldinvest4.

To begin with, Xavier NEVER originated the strategy of "getting seed money out" or "protect your computer", etc. etc. Let me explain.

When the first forum came out, there were no threads about being a safe and savvy investor or protecting your computer. I knew that the login protocols for FLO were highly vulnerable to keyloggers, so I asked Xavier to place a topic in the FLO Forum called, "Is Your Computer Safe?" Some of you may recall it. It was later called "Computer Security".

The idea of getting your seed money out first was NOT first mentioned by Xavier. It was first mentioned, to my knowledge, by ME, live in the FLO Chatroom. This was when we were still using Orbitalk. It was only AFTER I had gone public with such suggestions that Xavier parroted his consent, as after all, he would have given up the scam if he had told me not to say such things. Instead, he just changed his tactics and proceeded from there.

It did bother me that someone who was so interested in our success was so lax in placing in the forum much more effective security and strategy tips, especially when you consider that FLO was alledgedly several years in the planning before it went live (yea, right). It was just a huntch, and it turned out to be a correct read.

I am glad I insisted on telling people to play it safely even though many succumed to greed by either over-investing or not taking seed money out when it was there for the taking. I hope that Xaiver's little score was reduced by more people playing it safe. I also hope that Evocash's collapse also put a dent in his haul.

So, there you have it. Another little factual tidbit that you probably didn't know.

In the evaluation of information, it helps to get as much factual information as possible with wich to make your decisions. As an options trader, I live by that creed, and live nicely, indeed.

I hope this will give you more food for thought while you ponder the question of "Is FLO a scam?"

Goldinvest04, it was good of you to get your seed money out and you are indeed correct that personal responsability is the key trait that makes a person sink or swim with respect to his decisions.

Upsidedown, you are correct that the collapse of FLO ruined many lives. I have heard of at least one suicide and at least a dozen bankruptcies that have occured. There were a few divorces as well that I know of. And it was Xavier, who touted that, "WE ARE INTERESTED IN YOUR SUCCESS", who in the end was nothing more than a sleazy, low-life con man who literally stold from young and old alike.

I wish you all well.

Very entertaining post! I can´t believe that there can still be floites after this.
The post that I would like to read though would be titled: Con Artist Xavier Jailed for life.

As for the motivation that led people to keep there seed money in the program. I accept that for some it might have been greed, but for others it was hope and trust. X is satan incarnate he took people´s trust and hopes and used that against them. What a player! May he rot in hell with leprosy.

Things that FLO would have to answer for if they return. I doubt Xavier would want to take the heat, since, according to Tony's other post on GH he didn't even like to take questions from members during the chats.

OK, which of you 'orrible lot silenced wannabe ?
No sign of her for the last 4 days.

(of course she could just be on her hols)

[uppity]

Wannabe has not been silenced, she is just busy and will return to posting soon, I have had a PM from her within the past few days .
On the other hand someone who used to post HAS vanished, and wannabe thinks, as do I, that this means she is getting closer to the identity of X!!
