I've never said this was a scam,but many false representations were made,one of the greatest was the ability of PIP to find 70%+ oil deposits.This idea of people investing in a pure wildcat,roll the dice concept was countered by we can't miss.The odds of comming up dry using a 70% plus techology,seven different times in a row are .003%.Now thats not gambling,if you knew that you would win the lottery 7 out of every 10 times you bought a ticket,I would never say; well we all knew the odds and lost,I'd be calling the lottery commission and attorney general asking What the ?
