The way I see it... If Monk and crew don't respond quickly... This company's image and their own image will be tarnished for quite a while. I think that a response is in the works now and we will hopefully hear something in the near future.
The first option is that Monk is a scammer extraordinaire who preyed on both people’s greed (it’s going to $5, $10, whatever) and people’s dreams (“you can quit your day job when this squeezes”). He may have very well managed to financially ruin numerous people over the course of these FLD’s. If so, let's hope he goes to jail.
