An interesting if depressing read....the bits that stuck out for me, were the classic con man promises that buy more time...to make more money. The Pyramid selling bit also becomes clear only in hindsight. For example about joining the IPT website for £25 and £5 a month but get your money back if you get two people to join? - Also entry fees to win a place on the IPT tour were $2,000. A classic pyramid trick get lots in at the bottom with a big promise at the top. But there wasn't that many takers - maybe he was too greedy on those entry fees. Now the tour doesn't exist...(no more events lined up) Also interesting, was the idea of a link up with on-line gambling and that IPT was going to be heavily linked with gambling but new laws in a America put a spanner in the works. Although KT was Jailed for fraud in the past. You just wanted to believe the IPT was for real. But sadly 'If it sounds too good to be true....it usually is.' But hey, if nothing else - at least the IPT makes decent chalk!!  [ This message was edited by: expertfluke on 2007-01-28 23:28 ]

Sorry Mate - I'd just filled in a tax return. Don't do it. It will only make you bitter and twisted....hold on a minute.......you're a Scotsman, you've probably never paid a penny's tax in your life!!!  [ This message was edited by: expertfluke on 2007-01-29 22:29 ]
