FWIW I have achieved ~105% ROI on LTC Gear after 6 weekly payouts. I'm still 90% sure they are a ponzi-like structure, but someone in this thread asked a while ago about the LTC Gear ROI, so here it is. It's interesting though that they are still selling at the same USD price as ~2 months ago (even the coupon that was supposed to expire is still valid) but the old shares have been multiplied so are actually earning MORE than the new shares,  which are more expensive in BTC/LTC now due to exchange rates. In other words ROI is getting worse for new purchases I think.
