Newsletter Archives Bruce's Investment Club - Final Offshore investment in 3rd world countries > Bruce's Investment Club I apologize for the extended delay in sending this out. I've been ill. I eat a meal and immediately throw it up. I get hungry, but don't want to eat. Anyway.... Garrett, the guy who ran PTV Partners, has stolen the bulk of our money and disappeared. We "invested" about $54,000 as a group and got back about $11,000. He said he would 'make it good' at the end of May, and I was hoping he was good to his word. But he wasn't. You can follow the discussion, and keep up-to-date at http://www.talkgold.com/forum/showthread.php?t=266524 You can also Google "PTV Partners" to learn more. I have the $11K in my bank account and will be distributing your portion of it as soon as I get enough checks from my bank. I'll be including the $500 that I lost in your refunds, but you can expect to get back about 1/5 of what you sent in. I don't have the exact numbers, yet. It will take me awhile to write 120+ checks and envelopes, so I appreciate your patience. I apologize for leading you down this wrong road. In my research into HYIPs, *most* of them last 1-2 years. PTVP was only 6 months old, so I thought we could get in-and-out before it collapsed (as they all do). Obviously, I mis-guessed. I've had one of you request product as his refund, and if any others of you want to do that, just let me know (quickly) and we'll do it. But, I'm happy to send you a check. This experience has cured me of using other people's money in 'investing'! Feel free to call if you have questions, comments ... or just want to scream at me.
