Wasn't laissez faire city just one massive scam that took advantage of deluded libertarians?

That's pretty much the impression I got from it. But with that kind of libertarians you never know, they might actually have believed it. Kinda like BFL believed they can deliver an ASIC in 2 months.

You're damn right they believe it. Read the following account, with apologies for the cached link, for the site has blocked my IP: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:DUTIv88KsJIJ:community.netidea.com/echan/lfcity.htm+&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

Best minds' is no hyperbole. Just look over their Laissez Faire City Times newspaper on line and gauge for yourself what formidable intellects roam LF City's precincts. And such fun people too! Now THAT is the point!

Returning to their home countries, over the year-end holidays of 1994, the group communicated by fax, telephone and e-mail to debate the process and actualize the
founding verbiage. They employed lawyers and trustees to carry out their resolve.
Accumulated grant moneys were turned over to the new trustee; and the attorneys
subsequently recorded the founding trust documents at the public registrar of two
separate internationally recognized jurisdictions.

The Laissez Faire City International Trust was formalized on January 1, 1995.

And the four travelers all decided to put their money where their mouths were by becoming founding grantors of Laissez Faire City and two of them leapt off a bridge just to seal it in style. As I hung there dangling above the river still 100 feet below I reflected that an existing founder had jumped FIRST. Now how many businesses have that kind of chutzpah? Look at what they have to offer and decide for yourself....

The new founders where Sonny Vleisides and his Daddy-O, Jame Ray Houston, known as Rex Rogers to all those who paid the $6,000 membership fee to join. The lottery scheme started at the same time.

I'm starting to wonder if Libertarianism should carry the same negative connotation as the word dogma.

i.e. I don't follow the ~~Catholic~~ Libertarian dogma.
