COCKS CAUGHT IN PYRAMID SCHEME. OUCH.

So who plays Pussy Galore in all this? Lauren Bowden?

Smelled that scam a while ago. I’m expecting a thank you call for saving a friend’s a$$ on that one.

As the laser beam inches ever closer to his cock & harbls:

“Do you expect me to talk, SEC Investigator?”
“No, Mr. Spurrier Jr. I expect you to die.”

And fun was had by all.

Far smarter people got bilked out of much more money than these dudes in the time frame of 1999-2001, I’ll tell ya’ that much. That’s the problem with these (presumably) financial morons being classified as accredited investors, due to their sizable salaries and net worths.

Interestingly, it is easier to understand a Surinamese English-accent than it is a South Carolinian one…

Brian, I don’t know if you are a lawyer or not, more specifically somebody who does securities and M&A work, but if not, allow me to cast a “huzzah” for accredited investors. The AIs mean much less interference from and compliance with the SEC, and, here comes the caveat, as long as everyone is on the up and up.

As for George Rogers and Danny Ford, I believe they merely received franchises for allowing their names to be used, nothing further. I don’t think they will be classified as, “investors.”

Now, Danny Ford had an aversion to the NCAA rulebook, and George Rogers had an aversion legal pharmaceuticals when illegal ones were made available to him, but I sincerely doubt either one were trying to rip people off.

This thing had been running around Cola for some time, and I have an acquaintance, friend of a friend, who was trying to get people involved. I smiled and asked him if he had heard of the phrase, “pyramid scheme.” He told me I had no idea what I was talking about.

Sadly, I understand he lost a couple hundred since then.

pretty sure that Danny Ford wasn’t a cock…

Ahhh, you stay classy Chuck.

Please make it clear that Danny Ford is not a former South Carolina head coach.

I would never imply that Bobby Bowden ever coached at Florida. Some things are just beyond the pale.

I got so upset, I mistyped my own name.

Just a quick correction… Danny Ford is related to CLEMSON… not USC!

Step 1: Collect underpants and set up online music-sharing networks.

Step 2: ????

Step 3: Profit!

Sadly, MLM schemes have a foothold in Columbia. I Have It On Good Authority that the men’s basketball team was infected with a nasty case of Quixtar as recently as 2004. I hope that it has cleared up since.

At any rate, here’s hoping that this SEC investigation is quicker than the last SEC investigation.

Cocky—

We know. If you click on the State link, it mentions this. It just made such a better headline to type COCKS rather than mention Clemson.

Plus we figure everyone knows this anyway. But we’ll clarify.

Anyone that invested in this is a PUTZ. I invest ALL my money with Coach Bobby Bowdens oldest son Steve, who is a good christian boyah and would do no wrong. Steve has got some GREAT foreign currency trading ideas and Im going to be rich. Suckers!

I think it’s actually only Rob DeBoar that’s under investigation, not Todd Ellis (yet).
Hey, what’s a little idiotic white collar crime between friends?!?

I feel Todd Ellis will, ulitmately, be cleared of these charges.
I mean, anyone who has heard him on radio knows damn well he isn’t smart enough to think up a scheme like this.

Lots of folks in Columbia who tried to talk someone else into this used Ellis’ name and his status as a former Gamecock QB and current attorney (especially the attorney part) to convince everyone it was on the up and up. I don’t know Ellis and I don’t know if he approved of this, but that’s the pitch a lot of “investors” received.

Former running back John “Pyramid” Ponzi tried to sign me up. He and Tank Black made a very convincing case, but I am currently making a fortune selling Amway, so I refused.

I think Doug’s already won the comments for this one with a reference to one of the best South Park episodes.

Heh heh… head cock.

Orson, have you seen Tank Black’s new target retirement fund? Heres how it works: the fund starts out with a more aggresive portfolio weighted heavily in check cashing companies and payday loan stores. Over time, the allocation shifts to more conservative higher yied assets such as car washes and pit bull breeders, culminating in a conservative portfolio by your target retirement date. Brilliant!

Nothing like some good ole snake oil to get you through the night.

I heard their sales pitch was making people stand outside in Columbia during the summer until they signed the papers.

The part of South Carolina I’m familiar with (Myrtle Beach), people don’t have time for crazy pyramid schemes. They’re too busy luring you into a $25 seafood buffet with a view of the intracoastal waterway, but all the fish are from Thailand.

#24, you’re wrong. The sales pitch was an all-expenses paid trip to Florence. Everyone signed on thinking they were going to Italy. They were quite disappointed when the Trailways bus headed north on I-95 instead to the airport.

And to the roadside Shoney’s, no less.
