You forgot the scare-quotes around the word 'investors', because they aren't actually investing in anything. The might believe they are, even in the face of objectively-provable mathematics, but they are not.

BTW, just a heads-up for everybody here, do you see the many posts which routinely go up during these situations, where it is repeated ad-nauseam phrases like, "It's just a gamble", "If you don't like it then gtfo" and my favourite, which is also the favourite of these scammer-gang as witnessed on their scammy cmmonitor.com website, "Don't invest more than you can afford to lose".

Because, children, people who invest more than they can afford to lose may be driven to track down the kind of people who tricked them into  handing over such a large some of money and seek to 'resolve' the situation personally. Take away everything a man has and he's nothing left to lose. They know this.

That is one of the reasons they like to repeat, over and over again, that you shouldn't invest 'too much', because you are more likely to simply walk away and do nothing when they initiate their 'exit plan' with the usual "We wuz haxxored!!!11!!1, but we're *totally* gonna fix it peeps" lie.
