This thread has got so funny.
Imagine a legit investment company sending "reps" onto the internet to tell people "It's not up to us to prove we aren't a ponzi - you guys have to prove we ARE a ponzi!"

So has Esoteric Investments posted anything whatsoever to show they are carrying out legit business yet? Any tiny little thing which might just hint that they aren't exactly the same as BT? Because it seems to me that, if a company WAS carrying out any form of legit business, it would be very easy for them to post a little something to prove it. Imagine the PR boost that an investment fund, offering 5% return per month, would get, just from revealing something which hinted that they were above board? After all, there are hundreds of schemes like this, appearing and disappearing every day - and not a single one has EVER managed to show they are carrying out legit business. What reason on Earth would there be for a fund NOT to do this? Even if they weren't already being regarded with heavy skepticism?
