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.

it was still only referring to the loyalty portion of the scam
Do you have a reading comprehension problem?
"LESS IS MORE" It is the cumulative effect that kills deals!!! How many times do I have to say this?  >:(

No, he has a problem conceding after he loses an argument.

Maybe. Please explain where you see anything there about the matching portion.

A new question. I would assume that anyone who gave them money assumed that there was a anonymous benefactor giving the other half. (Like the quadruple your donation thing that the Tzedakah's run) IF he was planning on USING the money to invest, wouldn't that be outright Genava? Also brought up was the the issur of ribbis?

http://matzav.com/update-on-bogo-tuition-fund/
Wow the other two including the Dayan don't even know anything about it.
Didn't say that.
Where do you see that?

Ok this is what it actually says
Zachariah tells Matzav.com that he and Rav Chaim Mayer Roth, who had also been said to be overseeing the fund, “take no responsibility of the fund and its operations.”

The involvement of Rav Roth and R’ Zachariah was simply as a chesed to the klal to ensure some level of accountability.

I didn't mean to say that they didn't know their names were being used just that it appears that they know no details although somehow are helping klal Yisrael by being involved.

This sounds like a twelve year old or Donald Trump, as CS pointed out.

I'm sorry, I didn't follow this thread. Can someone just please tell me if this is basically correct?

A guy promised everybody that any money they give him over a certain 24 period will pay off 100% interest by the end of the current school year. People then realized that this was far-fetched and the whole thing fizzled. Now we are debating whether the guy was well meaning or stam a crook.

Is that basically it?

That is the secondary discussion in this thread. The primary issue is apparently whether a certain DDF'er is or is not a fool.

  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Does being called a shvantz by @Freddie make me like instant gezhe? It's like all my years of yeshiva finally paid of. Or like being knighted by the Queen li'havdil.
