I was glad to read that he's from Oregon, when I saw the headline, I figured he was from Odessa, TX.

Well, am not surprised and this will happen over and over again as long as people want to make the easy buck!

If I told you, invest $10K and you'll receive $25K in 2 years OR
If I told you, invest $10K and you'll receive $11K in 2 years, which one will you pick?

Key is to take time and analyze every (business) proposal but not everyone has time!

Well, this is not a small money. If I am going to put hundred thousands of dollar in an investment, I sure would look up about the guy's history like a crazy. And this guy has history that can be obtained publicly. That's what amazing for me.
