Onerak Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 9 hours ago, Henryford said: Actually probably wise to only offer 5%, almost believable. Hmm. why get the help of an American to receive only 5% return while anybody with access to American market can get average 10% in S&P index.

Just had to put some negative on Thailand again, right? Here we have an American that comes to Thailand and engage in criminal activities. Not the first one too.

KanchanaburiGuy Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 5% = Large enough to attract conservative investors at a time when the bank is paying 0.5% ........ Small enough to keep a ponzi scheme running, since the fake interest-only payouts to "investors" would be relatively small. Simply put: Don't need to attract many "new investors" into the scheme......... if your guaranteed pay out of "earnings".......... is only 5% ! Ponzis promising high returns get caught............. because they can't get their hands on enough "new money" to keep their existing "investors/suckers" mollified. 5% would be like counterfeiting $5 bills. It's not necessarily a great payout, but NO ONE checks $5 bills to see if they're counterfeit! Smaller reward....... but........ also........ almost nonexistent risk! Cheers!

I can't see how anyone with any net worth would be interested in 5% from a man on Nana when a simple S&P 500 index fund has annualized returns of ~10% since 1928.

Yes, hard to imagine - I mostly do index funds too... though at the moment mostly in cash... oddly, I have been told that Drs. are most susceptible to scams - as they are busy and can be a bit gullible as to investments... and don't keep up w/the latest scams.
