Yep same here. We take our dogs to Lake Ida dog park. Waves were huge out there for a smaller lake. Some guys on bass boats floating around. I would imagine the bass fishing isn't so great when the lake gets like that. I tried pm'ing you but am blocked for some reason. Was I that much of an a-hole on the surf report....geeze... Pm me and I will reply. I wonder if you have run into the guy I am talking about.
Lake Ida is great. I take my boys fishing there when they visit. But i take my relationships very seriously, and run my business with the utmost discretion in real life. --- Im not going to share real names in a negative fashion--but i apprieciate the confidence. surf
This might be an outdated example but I recall those shady Amway people. The common tactic was to insist on meeting in person. During that meeting you would be subjected to high pressure tactics where finally they force upon you some worthless sample marketing materials. A week later they would begin to repeatedly call and make you feel like you owed them something because they gave you the worthless sample marketing materials. It was a real challenge to finally be rid of Amway cockroaches.

Family offices have been around longer than hedge funds. Family offices looking for $ are the new concept of multi-family offices. Any scheme/ fund can be a con, just have to cross your Ts and dot your Is. Happy Thanksgiving!
The thing that alwaysfave away Amway is they never called it Amway. They call it " the business" or something and they were always super vague trying to get you to attend meetings.
Yes, true family offices. Im talking about folks who use that idea as an investment company scheme to raise funds. In my world, family offices allocate funds not solicit them. surf
I was conned once...guy had laptop computers he was selling out of his trunk that had "fallen off the truck." (I shoulda thought that meant stolen, but wasn't thinking anything except SUPER CHEAP LAPTOPS!). I opened my wallet and said I could only spend $80. Lickity split, he unburdened me of my money and handed me a box with a laptop in it, and said he had to scram! I was so proud of myself for wisely obtaining such a great bargain! Then, as I was driving down the road about two hours later a nagging thought came: what if that professional-looking box doesn't really have a laptop inside? I pulled over and opened the box to find several small phone books inside! SUCKA!!!
A mate of mine once bought a brand new dummy phone, only realised when he couldn't find a slot for a sim card.
