Only the most despicable scams try to brazen it out like EIGH is doing. I could list a 50 to 100 of them that have tried the same tactic over the past few years and in each case, they were so devoid of legitimacy that they ended up defunct and in some of the cases the officers, promoters, and financiers ended up in prison..
We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth... For my part, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst; and to provide for it. --Patrick Henry, Patriot and Hero of the American Revolution
