I know of alot of people that have put money into this, and some of the people you say was in on it really was'nt they have been taken in by it. Even advising family members to put everything they have in. It's looking more like this is/was a scam and people that have pulled out 100k profit maybe in for a bumpy ride aswell as having their dreams taken away they may have to pay back profits. I myself was trying to put £1000 in for the last two months but I could'nt buy my way in. which seams strange for it to be a scam like this.
I was willing to risk £1000, i could afford to put alot more in but with them returns why would I? If he got intouch now I would still risk £100.
