Let's start right here, with the Most recent company supplied Figures.
In the month of June, the company claims to have grossed $90MILLION Dollars. (http://www.freewebs.com/dawnstowers...teforasd.htm). The link is a COMPANY link even though it sits on freewebs.com (Strange).
The totals that you see represented for June are apx. $90MM.
Okay, so, let's look at what ASD is providing in the form of rebates. You can earn up to 125% rebates (your purchase amount plus a 25% bonus rebate).
Now, the $90MM purchased in June was all included in the daily "revenue share" on the day the purchases were made, so, that money is totally allocated. So, now the company has to generate, from multiple ways, $90MM plus another 22.5 MILLION dollars to cover the bonus.
This total of $112.50 Million can come from new purchases, GoDaddy Reseller income, Google AdSense, and other income the company says is available, occurring or possible.
Now, this $112.50 Million doesn't need to come all at once, in a day or a week or a month. But, it does have to come at some point to keep the company solvent and to avoid a stampede of redemptions.
In fact, if the company keeps paying a 1% / day average revenue share it'll take 4 months (give or take).
Okay, so far, so good, right?
Ummmm, where is that money going to come from? $112MM in four months is $28MM a MONTH. That's a lot of dough rey me folks.
Oh, but wait, the cheerleaders say. . . . .What about the monthly fees? Okay, let's do that. Let's say there are 30,000 people paying $100/month. That's $3MM a month in income. That's a far cry from $28MM.
Okay, so, how about more ad pack sales?
Sure, but, this is where it starts to get even uglier. Why?
Because the company only allocates 50% of gross revenue to the revenue sharing pool. So, for every dollar that comes in to purchase, only $.50 is allocated to the revenue sharing pool, to make a dent in the $112MM noted above.
So, let's take it to it's extreme. Let's say there is NO GoDaddy reseller, hosting, monthly fees, nothing. (I"m sure there are a lot of monthly fees, but, I've seen NO evidence of any income from ebooks or elsewhere).
Be that as it may, look what happens.
If the revenue share on the $112MM is covered entirely by new purchases there would need to be $224MM in new package purchases over the next four months.
Folks, that's a Quarter of a BILLION Dollars! That's more than Yahoo did in their last quarter! (http://www.itshrunk.com/4912d1).
Is that amount reduced, somewhat, by true income, monthly fees, etc?
I'm sure it is. But, not very much. Let's be serious,. . . .the kind of money that ASD and AndyB have to come up with just to TREAD Water at this point is roughly equivalent to the Biggest and most successful internet companies in the world.
Think! Is this really a new paradigm, or, as some have said, is the Emperor truly "Buck Naked" (no, not George Costanza).
So, consider long and hard before you pump money into this project. Think just as hard about continuing to repurchase. Pull some money off the table folks, put it in your pocket. I GUARANTEE you that the big boys are doing that.
Because. . .. . . .as the money inflows decrease, and they HAVE to at some point, the revenue share will decrease, which will decrease the money inflows which will decrease the revenue share.
It's a death spiral of declining revenue share AND liquidity.
I've seen it in the market, especially in thinly traded stocks. That's exactly what will happen here.
So, to all those who are cheerleaders, I'm happy to throw down the gauntlet and have a rational, business discussion.
I've shown you the cold, hard facts about the numbers. Show me evidence, ANY evidence, not just speculation or heresay, about where AndyB and his Merry Band are going to generate anywhere near the amount of money they need to keep this afloat.

"In 1999, Andy did research and discovered a need for GPS Tracking for fleet vehicles and GPS Tech was created."
Just to find that GPS TECH, INC. was incorporated 03/26/2004 5 years later than claimed.
"Andy has trained thousands of sales people during his career and started several companies." no mention that they all have defaulted or been "Involuntarily Dissolved."
"He developed a company that sold wireless communication franchises throughout the U.S. and then started a company to market credit card processing for merchants." PERRY TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION. INVOLUNTARILY DISSOLVED 12/16/1981
According to their Terms of service they state that they are in CST when they are really in EST. They also say that they are incorporated in the country of Panama and that everyone must abide by the laws of panama (which is where most Ponzi Schemes incorporate) which basically has no real laws concerning Schemes. Panama is considered a safe haven.
GPS Tech was contacted(one of Andy's former companies) and they never heard of him. Google has contacted their Attorneys and are considering taking legal action against ADS for associating them without their permission or knowledge. Looks like the walls are crumbling!
Looks like ROBERT F GARNER can't keep a company running either.
Logan Rock LLC Revoked on 9/1/2007
TURNING WHEELS INTERNATIONAL Revoked on 11/1/2006
TSUNAMI HOLDINGS, LTD Default on 9/1/2007
NEXTWAVEMUSIC, INC. Default on 9/1/2007
ADSURFDAILY, INC. Active until??? 1/1/2009???
Andy's LLC Active until??? 1/1/2009???

Wow. Purplecity65 joins, breaks rules and posts drivel that LynnRE jumps all over. Coincidence? ha ha
Conjecture and outright lies won't win you any arguments here. You'll have to try harder than that.
Your lack of understanding is painful, as is your convoluted logic.
ASD is a U.S. company with offices you can walk into in Quincy, Fl.
There are advantages to incorporating in places other than the U.S.
Maybe you can use your research 'skills' and can find some of those reasons.
Deathshead
I am having a small proablem with where
they got there 90MM In my back office I
see a much smaller # like 33MM
They are nice people and I want to
thank them because they are
helping us keep ASD in the lime lite
and that is the name of the game
I just wish they would join us and get
their shae of this ponzi money
There is actually two GPS Tech companies out there. One is in Malaysia (and sells gps tracking equipment to trucking companies, rental fleets, etc.). One is now known as Auto Surf Daily (this is the one Andy founded).
GPS Tech, Inc (now knows as ASD) had two products:
1. GPS tracking bracelets for kids, called the IonKids system.

Have lots of questions about this, and am contacting Bluespan (the people who currently own Ion-Kids.com) to get some truthful answers.
In the meantime, what else about Andy is completely untruthful?
Why do you need to take informations from other forums???? You cannot make your own researches yourself???... because if you did it, you should know that the ASD you've cited has NOTHING to do with Andy Bowdoin.
The ASD of Andy Bowdoin means Ad Surf Daily (NOT Auto Surf Daily) and you should know if you study the program that it's NOT an Auto-Surf (Not even a Manual Surf) BUT a Marketing Program. You should also know that ASD is NOT the new GPS Tech, Inc. BUT a totally different company (Andy runned a lot of successful companies that he doesn't run anymore and these businesses have nothing to do with the current ASD)....
Please, STOP your misinformation... it's RIDDICULOUS!!!
@ LynnRe, after bashing the program Global Pension Plan (GPP) where you are very active,... now you're attacking ASD... What program will be the next... lol!

Awww, don't get upset and start putting words in my mouth. It makes you look more inept than you already have proven yourself to be.
Start wherever you want cupcake. You made the claims. Back 'em up.
"more complaints than new members"
Your move.
Sorry, but all of the ASD Kool-Aid drinkers need to get a grip
on reality.
They believe they are right, but time will tell. It always does.
Avoid ASD. If you are in ASD, get out and stop profiting at the
expense of those being suckered.
To be happy you are in a Ponzi scheme is the most ill-informed,
idiotic, and ignorant thing I've seen here in a long time.
There's a place for felons and it ain't here.
Anybody that's happy to break the law, and tries
to get people to join by posting drivel deserves to be n/a'ed.
Not that it matters. By defending nonsense like this you are convincing
a whole lot of people to avoid you in the future.
The argument that Google or whoever is involved is a bunch of baloney.
It reminds me of a certain MLM I belonged to. One of the things that
was preached from stage by our upline was that big name manufacturers
came to the company to sell their stuff because it was the best way to
do it. Levi's, Coca-Cola, and Microsoft to name a few.
Anyway...
Let me ask people who have made money with ASD a question.
Knowing what you know now, would you take your hard earned money
and put it into ASD? In other words, could somebody that just heard
of ASD today still make money with it? If so, I have a challenge for
you, but I bet nobody will take it. In fact, the excuses should be
as revealing as they are interesting.
Challenge: Cash out ALL of your earnings right now. See if you get
the check. I dare you. You won't lose any money, because it's a
"legit" outfit and it doesn't matter when you join. So, when ASD
sends you the check feel free to buy back in. Good luck getting your
check if you are willing to put your money where your mouth is.
