Topic Wiki

Bogo walks in a room and announces that we're almost at the end, so double your money now* before it's too late! He claims there are people vouching for him, but they have never heard of him.
ExGingi talked to Bogo for a minute and let's everyone know that he knows what he's doing. Except maybe that was for another Bogo thing he's doing that may or may not MLM related. Or something like that.
Baruch won't stop calling Bogo a liar and ExGingi a fool and a liar. He's gone over to everyone and tells them this at least dozen times.
Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. It's parve, exactly how ExGingi likes it. JJ didn't tell Freddie he was in the room as he doesn't like parve cholent or MLMs. This makes him a shvantz.
Dan is waiting for a juicy voicemail or at least an email to put in this thread. Dan loves Lakewood and was very impressed with it. Dan hates Lakewood and bashes at every opportunity {{Citation needed}}

JJ finally did teshuva. It remains to be seen if others mentioned on this thread will follow his lead.

*as long as you're from Lakewood.

BOGO Tuition Scam
« on: September 03, 2016, 10:38:25 PM »
Anyone else think this thing sounds like a massive scam?
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Most people save more by getting tax breaks, unless ur able to pay off a full year in advance, then maybe ull save. I don't see how so many stored cud support it, for it to be a scam, (although it may not be as good as they make it sound)

Double check that the stores are actually supporting it. I heard from one that they sponsored the printing of the signs... So he put them on.

State of emergency. It's just gonna be a little rainy..
There are many parts of ocean county other than Lakewood you know. The biggest issue is likely to be storm surge at the shore. Here it will probably be windy with maybe some rain.

Tuition is not tax deductible.

1) why did signs go up only last minute?
2) why doesn't it have any connection to any schools of that's who it will help?
3) who is paying all this money?
4) why do they need 12 months to pay?
5) why doesn't it explain which IRS rules say it can't be tax deductible?
6) what's in it for the guy behind it?

There are many more unanswered questions

I actually met the founder of BOGO loyalty over the summer. His program is unique and outside the box thinking. Don't know if it will work or not, but the concept is definitely interesting.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Did you confirm that they really are? How do you know he's didn't just make them up?

Can you explain how it's supposed to work? Right now nothing makes sense.

When I get to a computer with a keyboard I will explain what I understand it is, unless someone else will do so before. I would probably also have to check if I am not under NDA.

if someone lets me know where the chief rabbi of new jersey is i would like to speak to him about this.
im thinking its probably an investor? he takes a whole sum of money at the beginning of the year. invests the money and pays each school over 12 months, or he just leaves the country with all that money ?

NDA. Il disclose for you.  This it how it works: The genius founder is an amazing investor. (Better than Bernie Madoff) He knows how to triple funds in thirty days!
He will take the lump sum, triple it and pay out the schools slowly.

These things are usually very complex. Probably forex reverse swaptions or something.. Just give him the money and everything will work out. Don't sweat the details.
