ellauri065.html on line 494: ponzi Ponzi scheme (/ˈpɒnzi/, Italian: [ˈpontsi]; also a Ponzi game) is a form of fraud that lures investors and pays profits to earlier investors with funds from more recent investors. The Ponzi scheme was also previously described in novels; Charles Dickens´ 1844 novel Martin Chuzzlewit and his 1857 novel Little Dorrit both feature such a scheme. Mä puhuin Kouvolassa pyramiidiskeemasta, kaikki talouspeikot ja yrittäjät oli noloina. EI SAA SANOA!
ellauri189.html on line 564: In the 1920s, Charles Ponzi carried out this scheme and became well known throughout the United States because of the huge amount of money that he took in. His original scheme was based on the legitimate arbitrage of international reply coupons for postage stamps, but he soon began diverting new investors' money to make payments to earlier investors and to himself. Unlike earlier similar schemes, Ponzi's gained considerable press coverage both within the United States and internationally both while it was being perpetrated and after it collapsed – this notoriety eventually led to the type of scheme being named after him.
ellauri189.html on line 568: In a Ponzi scheme, a con artist offers investments that promise very high returns with little or no risk to his victims. The returns are said to originate from a business or a secret idea run by the con artist. In reality, the business does not exist or the idea does not work. The con artist actually pays the high returns promised to his earlier investors by using the money obtained from later investors. In other words, instead of engaging in a legitimate business activity, the con artist attempts to attract new investors in order to make the payments that were promised to earlier investors. The operator of the scheme also diverts his clients' funds for his personal use.
ellauri189.html on line 570: With little or no legitimate earnings, Ponzi schemes require a constant flow of new money to survive. When it becomes hard to recruit new investors, or when large numbers of existing investors cash out, these schemes tend to collapse. As a result, most investors end up losing all or much of the money they invested. In some cases, the operator of the scheme may simply disappear with the money.

Cutler (a New England Congregationalist and agent for the Ohio Company) needed support from representatives and investors in New England and from members of Congress who opposed expansion of slavery; a prohibition made the territory more acceptable to them and helped ensure settlement by northern migrants.
ellauri490.html on line 299: In short, Cutler combined ideological opposition to slavery with practical political strategy—framing the Northwest as a region of free smallholders attractive to northern investors and settlers—to secure both moral aims and the political/economic success of western settlement.
ellauri490.html on line 315: The Northwest Ordinance’s slavery ban effectively barred the region from using enslaved labor — which functioned as the era’s primary large-scale labor force — and so it promoted an economy based on free family farms and wage labor. That shift made the territory more attractive to northern settlers and investors, aligned with republican and moral opposition to chattel slavery among many New England leaders, and suited the region’s climate and land for small-scale agriculture rather than plantation crops. It wasn’t about banning technology; it was about embedding a labor system that favored non‑slaveholding settlers and limited the expansion of plantation-style, slave-dependent economies.

ellauri504.html on line 445: Vice President JD Vance clarified the administration's current focus, stating that the number-one priority in the conflict is lowering oil and gasoline prices for Americans. While geopolitical tensions over the Strait of Hormuz crisis have introduced some choppy trading days, macro factors like softer U.S. inflation data and unstoppable momentum in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector have completely cushioned the blow. Ultimately, the markets are refusing to panic. While consumers are hurting from $4.07 per gallon gasoline, institutional investors are shrugging off the war of words between Trump and Iran, treating it as background noise to a powerful tech-driven bull market. War is always good for business, as a lot of useless consumption is created when stuff just goes up in smoke.

xxx/ellauri085.html on line 415: Let’s say you have an idea for a business or invention, or innovation on an old idea, it could be anything, a restaurant, or selling the iPhone. An entrepreneur has an idea, without which there would be no iPhone or any other product or service. You start the business by putting in your life savings or and/or getting investors, and they all lose their money if the business doesn’t work out. You have to put out money to suppliers for materials money for rent, you have to PAY EMPLOYEES even when you haven’t made 1 red cent yet from sales, because the product hasn’t even been produced yet, much less sold. Thats SOOO wrong! Never mind that they work quite as hard whether or not your snaky idea will work.
xxx/ellauri085.html on line 417: This process of shelling out cash, and losing money can go on FOR YEARS as it did with Amazon, and many, most, companies fail in the first 5 years and employees go on to a new job while the owners and investors are out ALL the money they put in. Employees get paid the whole time, owners get paid ONLY if there is a profit and last. Profits trickle UP, not down, last IF at all!

However, at the time it was illegal for foreigners to buy Gazprom shares in Russia, and he did it through shell companies that hid his ownership. He also said that the scheme of using Russian-registered subsidiaries entitled to tax advantages was practised by other foreign investors at the time and was not illegal. Vedä käteen luihu luikuri!
xxx/ellauri493.html on line 594: Trumpin ja Kushnerin rivieraprojekti Albaniassa meni perseixi. Albania has officially drawn the line. Sazan Island is being cleared. In a stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have launched an active enforcement operation to kick out foreign developers and private security personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites. The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic, hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely shut down the capital city of Tirana. Refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign investors, the Albanian public unified under a single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale."
