Rivkin got rich due to inheritance. He didn't help others to get rich: he was pretty much a scam artist. -- His.Rivkin.report.is.completely.useless

I think the only thing that was "wrong" with it is that it only ever offered basic advice, and didn't turn everyone who ever read it into instant millionaires. I don't think that qualifies it as a "scam", but it wasn't a guaranteed method for success either. What it *did* seem to offer was just simple basic advice of the kind that you'd pay any financial advisor for. -- Regards, Noddy.

His gullible readers would bid up the price, so he could dump his shares at a better price. He should have spent more time in gaol. He was little more than a fraudster. -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
