Nick was to be caught up over the weekend. It's now Wednesday and he's even farther behind. What's not working is P2P. |

Another great post!! Do not put your money in this scam!! I'm not sure how much progress has been made - MCF would seem to be down (no surprise - Kent has been pushing p-2-p so hard he'd have some tough questions to answer in there right now otherwise!) - which is my usual source of payments information, but last I saw June 8th was not yet complete although I'm expecting them to get there around now and make a start on June 9th before July is complete. This is based on how fast they have been paying of late combined with an assumption that as more people get worried by the lag in payments money in decreases further and the delays increase in a vicious cycle. At some point things will collapse to the point where either 'Nick' doesn't have enough coming in to keep the servers up, or the margin is too low to be worth the hassle, there is simply not enough coming in to ever complete payments for a particular day of requests, or 'the authorities' move in and shut him down. The last of these becomes more likely the more people file complaints, which will be increasing as payments get later and later, albeit perhaps from a low or zero base considering the extremity of the 'cult-like' following that, for reasons I cannot fathom, p-2-p seems to have attracted. Consequently I think the first three (i.e. unpaid bills, not worth the trouble or never enough to complete payments for the next pending request day) are more likely to be the cause for 'the end' in this case. Based on experience, general mathematical aptitude and a certain amount of intuition (probably no more than further, sub-conscious calculation resulting from qualitative rather than quantitative assessments of the nature of this 'program' and those associated with it) I have a strong feeling that June 9th, i.e. the day of requests either being paid out now or about to be paid, represents the point where these factors are in the balance, i.e. it is as likely that p-2-p will fail while this day is paying out than not. That is why I stated "My guess is that June 8th will probably be completed (about 60% likely), June 9th is less certain (50/50), then downhill from there (c. 40% chance June 10th will be completed, 30% for June 11th, etc.)". This is not an exact science of course, which is why the probabilities drop off relatively slowly as the days pass. However, it is clearly a one-way street now, and with each day taking at least a week to pay out, and this period getting longer each time, it is clear that the probability of failure is increasing for each one, which is why 60% for June 8th being completed reduces to 50% for June 9th, down to c. 40% for June 10th, 30% for June 11th, etc.; if we do get past June 9th then I expect it will take most, if not all of August to complete payments from the next two days with the probability of failure from any, or a combination of the four factors I referred to above increasing by the day, at a rate to cause the dropping off of chance of payment completed I have indicated. Post that things get less predictable, but the general trend will continue. Assuming 'Nick' continues what appears to be his current modus operandi of attempting to complete one day's requested payments before starting the next, then we'll see a tailing off of completion probabilities as we move towards the fall, when I expect, in the unlikely event that this is still running, we'll be down to about 10% for June 15th as I stated next: "If they get to June 15th I will be surprised; it's not impossible just unlikely (c. 10% chance or so), and anything much past that is less likely still". Around this time, based on current rates of slowing, we'd be looking at of the order a month to gather enough funds to complete just one more day's worth of requests, causing all but the pathologically hypnotised to see the light and drop out. This is why, even if we do get that far (i.e. mid June request payouts), which I am saying is very unlikely (c. 10%), probabilities of each day's requests being completed will continue to tail off rapidly. We'd be lost in the depths of winter before another week of payment requests could be completed, when addition factors come into play, not the least of which is the holiday season observed by the great majority of p-2-p's customer base (nearly exclusively North American looking at the Alexa stats), which is the reasoning behind my final sentence: "After about June 22nd the probability drops to around 1%, and the probabilities past that are as close to zero as makes no difference". Things are so uncertain past this point that I do not consider it meaningful to assess further probabilities, but I posit that, in any case, for most here anything with a probability of success less than one-in-a-hundred has long ago ceased to resemble an 'investment' and can therefore be ignored. Well, for those that have read this far, most of whom will almost certainly have received far more detail than they could ever have wanted, please bear in mind that Finix asked for "the exact basis for the predictions and calculations posted here by some members" (my emphasis), and I have attempted to give that. I am a mathematician by education, a computer scientist by occupation, and an amateur lawyer through repeated involvement in litigation, so I do tend to have a somewhat more 'precise' sense of words such as 'exact' than many are used to. However, I do tend to find that, in nearly all aspects of life, the little extra time required to perform analysis at the finer level of granularity required to maintain this level of detailed foresight is a very good investment indeed. In summary, I hope this has provided some insight into my methods, and for those still confused about what I am saying, let me put it into three sentences: Pathway-2-prosperity is a 'spent' Ponzi scheme towards the end of its lifecycle. It will most likely stop paying out altogether before payments requested up until mid June have been completed, and certainly before all payments requested up until the end of June have been made. The website may still be up, but payments are trickling out so slowly that, to all intents and purposes the program is dead already, and very few 'investors', if any, will receive payments from this point on. Again, commiserations to all those who have lost money here. PS Consider suing whoever referred you into the program, or the likes of Kent Black if you saw one of his many newscasts over at 24surfmonitor (also down at the time of posting!) encouraging people to 'invest' in p-2-p, which may be more likely to succeed than simply filing a claim against p-2-p and 'Nick' alone, both of which are very unlikely to be straight-forward to track down if past history in this arena are anything to go by. Consider getting a group of you together to reduce your legal costs as individuals, and good luck! |
