My apologies for trying to do something good that looks to at least one person like fraud.

Permission from Skinner to post this.

It dawned on me that I could just as easily offer to DUers what I'm now pitching to high net worth individuals. I'm offering 15% interest on loans to a socially responsible business I founded and am building. I'd so, so, so much rather create wealth for like-minded internet friends than for rich people who want to feel better about where they put their money.

3. I should have cached the legitimate questions of a well established DUer
 Because they were legitimate questions. The fact that OP met them with such animosity speaks plenty to me re this business opportunity.

And yeah, I suppose my reply will be deleted also, which would give me a whole new set of concerns, and during a DU fund drive?  Come on, can we have Skinner please let us know this has his OK? And was he OK with legitimate questions going bu-bye?

 mods. Sorry, but this time a gentle call out may be in order.

6. Look, I'm not taking sides on the legitimacy of the enterprise. 
 But two people arguing over whether I gave permission for a post is pointless. Neither side can possibly prevail without my stepping in.

5. Thank you for varifying that, Skinner
 My above post stands, at least until the delete. The questions were fair. And they were a lesson most of us need refreshers in as we see so many scams about these days.

Looking for real investors on DU is like fishing for Great Whites in Lake Michigan, any such attempt there is a prima facie case of someone trying to scam the scammers.

Why does this make me think hemp? Must be because it's a DUmmie. But it reads suspicious to me.

Based on a heads up from the District Forestry office after a meeting I had with them, they have already cultivated new allo (nettle) in the forest managed by a users group of which they are members. I had not previously thought of sowing wild-growing plants, in essence cultivation—great thinking on their part.

People increasing profit by cultivating something for which there is a market. How capitalist of them.  :lmao:

A "socially responsible" business ?

Now that sounds like it has the potential for a high ROI.
