This interview was made to explain some doubts and slander about Brian Krassenstein the person which came in the last time.

Question 1: Brian Krassenstein, you, as the leader of Talkgold forum and with more than 100,000 members and 14,500+ subscriptions, what is your goal?

Well, as many people are unaware, Our parent company sold talkgold back in November of 2008, however I have still remained on for the time being as the forum manager. As part of the current management team, I know the owners are looking to expand the core discussion of talkgold into just about every online money making field there is. This will happen over the next 12-18 months.

Question 2: What features do you plan to add to make your forum more attractive to your members?

There will be new folders added in the coming money, as we try and direct Talkgolds attention into a more stable atmosphere. We will try and give away more cash prizes in our cash folder, as well as team up with some of the more lucrative affiliate programs out there to give members some opportunities of their own.

Question 3: Please tell us more about your new project: “Team Earners” (www.teamearners.com). What was the reason to start this service? How is going your project? What is your further planning?

TeamEarners.com was created in partnership between, Myself (Brian Krassenstein), Bradley Pancrose, Richard Gremus, and Edward Krassenstein. The idea was to provide a group in which like minded internet entreprenuers could have a hub for all the latest internet earning strategies and share their experiences for a price, anyone can afford. $13 per 6 months. Teamearners is off to a great start with close to 1000 members and growing.

Question 4: Are you still owner of Talkgold forum?
I read on this site: Emprezio Inc, Brian Krassenstein, and Others Make Large Website Sales that your forum was sold to Akmed Malakar. Can you confirm this information?

Yes the forum was sold to an outside group who owns several large internet based forums. We can not give too many details because of a non-disclosure agreement we have signed. The new owners have the best interest of the memberbase at mind and will run the forum in an honest fashion.

Question 5: I read on internet blogs some accusations directed to your person. Some people accuse you that a few domain names were stolen by you (Brian Krassenstein).
Can you explain to my readers what is nature of these indictments? Is it possible that some people try to ruin your good name? If yes, what is the reason?

Over the years, almost 5 years of running Talkgold, I have met a lot fo great people. Unfortionately in the High Yield investing industry there are hundreds of scammers. You ban one from your forum and suddenly they go out and write all kidns of crazy stuff about you. About the stolen domains….. I am a domain name speculator. I own over 1700 domain name. Back in February of 2008 I purchased a portfolio of several domains, just one of the probably 100+ portfolios I have purchased int he last year. It happened that this portfolio I bought has several stolen domain names in it. Once I found these names were stolen I immediately gave them back to the original owner, despite a financial loss I had to take.

Question 6: Hyip and autosurf arena is not so popular like in the past. After fail of such popular programs like 12DailyPro, Studiotraffic or PIPS (People in Profit System or Pure Investors) people are more prudent and associate hyips as a scams. What do you think about the future of hyip arena?

I have been saying the arena was going to die for years now. It always surprises me and makes a comeback. It is ashame there are so many scams out there. If only a couple legitimate programs would launch then the arena would thrive in my opinion. I don’t see it dying. HYIPs are not much different then casino gambling. There are always people willing to take risks for the big payout.

Question 7: Did you register your account on Switchbladeip forum as a “BK1981″ member? This member was pretending to be Brian, owner of TG forum. He posted on Switchbladeip.com that:

That is my username, but the owner of the forum edited my post to make me look like a thief. I would never post anything like that.

Question 8: code4gold.com administrator on his blog and his forum linked Idetrorce spam bot attack to your person. What is history and your relation to Idetrorce.com website?

Idetrorce was a virus that I saw that people were searching for as a web trend. What I did was register the domain and I had planned on putting up an anti-virus protection tipbook for those infected with that virus. Because that guy claimed I was somehow involved I just let the domain drop and never went forward with my plans.

Question 9: Your ex-moderator “los” has posted on code4gold forum: “TG being a criminal enterprise”. Do you agree with him? Do you plan to make your forum more unfriendly for scammers?

Los is an ex mod banned from talkgold. Read question number 5.

Question 10: Did you ever run a hyip or have you been a part of hyip team?

No I never ran any hyip. Back 4 years ago I was an advertising manager for weeklygold. The owner Mario Degryse ended up being a scammer himself. Since then I promised myself never to get myself associated with any hyip including investing into them in any way.

Question 11: What is your opinion about www.money-monitor.com service?

I like it. It is a breath of fresh air. There are too many monitor sites which look the same. Money-Monitor is unique and looks to be run by honest hard working people. Good job guys.

Question 12: Is there anything else that you would like to add that I didn’t ask about?

I just want to say that anyone investing into HYIPs should in fact look at it as a game of poker. Plan to lose your money, however understand you can also make money. Never put your eggs in one basket and always do your research.

Thanks for the interview!

It seems that this summer decided to hit all the records. One by one all the payment systems intend to surprise everybody. This time the surprise came from one of the three pillars of the US e-commerce – e-bullion payment processor. Due to the fact that E-bullion is a kind of closed-type company, which doesn’t let any alien to get in, the news about this system is a very rare holiday. Recently there were some rumors that the system will soon follow e-gold as both processors are identical and are based on the same principle. And all the rumors, however, usually have some basis. The recent events in the camp of E-bullion have confirmed this.

The first shocking news came on Tuesday when police has identified a woman stabbed in Century City on Monday evening. The sad “hero” of this tragedy was Pamela Fayed, one of the co-founders of the legend E-bullion. This news has shocked everybody and especially the way of the murder… There are several hypothesizes but they are not confirmed. The trial is in the process. A great tragedy indeed…

But the doom probably decided to check E-bullion for the strength. And following the scary news about Pamela Fayed, the whole community was shocked with the news about the arrest of another founder of E-bullion, James Fayed, the husband of the stabbed woman. The majority was sure that this arrest was related to the death of Mrs. Fayed, however the lawyer of Mr. Fayed insists that his client is charged with illegal money exchange and money-laundering operations.

At the moment James Fayed is at the Ventura County Jail and is going to be transferred to a detention facility in Los Angeles.

Earlier Pamela Fayed was saying that her husband “never got their multimillion-dollar company properly licensed or bonded.” In October the couple has filed for divorce and since that time had been fighting for the company and assets. It is necessary to note that the Fayeds were the only shareholders of the business (Goldfinger Coin & Bullion Sales and e-Bullion) and possessed about $12 million in bank accounts.

The given investigation was started long ago and, according to Jeffrey A. Taylor, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, “digital currency providers everywhere are now on notice that they must comply with federal banking laws, or they will be subject to prosecution.”

At the moment both criminal cases are being investigated and some people do not exclude some connection between them.

On behalf of our dear readers the whole editorial staff expresses their deepest condolences to the family, relatives, friends and co-workers of Pamela Fayed.

Why do certain traders win consistently lose?

Here are a four reasons:

1. Not having a proven trading methodology.

Those who consistently lose don’t know key numbers. They have no understanding of support and resistance. Chart patterns are foreign to them. Their definition of risk management is getting margin called. With no proven trading method or strategy, you are doomed to fail. You will end up quitting the game after a string of losses. But there is hope. With the right education, a workable method, psychological balance and persistence, it can be done.

2. Not understanding how the market works, key indicators, key numbers, and ideal times to trade.

When you place a trade, you literally go toe-to-toe against some of the biggest nerds in the world. Many professional traders are not only super smart and Ivy League educated, they’re also rich. That doesn’t mean that you, the small guy or gal, can’t win.It just means that you simply must educate yourself and be prepared to do battle. David can beat Goliath, but only if he’s prepared. Some people might think the cost of a trading education is too high. But the cost of ignorance is way more expensive.

3. Risking too much per trade.
The wannabe trader risks 10% or more of her trading account on a single trade. Real deal traders understand risk and manage it FIRST before thinking about profit. They don’t take trades if it forces them to risk too much. Pros keep their risk below 2% of their account balance. This gives them the staying power to survive multiple losing trades in a row without turning into a worry wart.

4. Not being mentally prepared.

Psychology is a huge part of trading and most people are not mentally prepared. When money is on the line, fear, greed, and other emotions make trading very hard. Make sure you understand the emotional aspects of trading and be prepared to deal with them before you put your money on the line.

I am Cedric Peynet, the main owner, website administrator and one of the founders of Liberty Insider Program.

Question: How many people are running your program? Please introduce your team.

Answer:  We are a team of five people, I’m the administrator, there is the programmer/designer, one person responsible for marketing and promotion, and another two people doing the trading so that we have different minds working with different ideas, but both very professional and making profit for the members of our team, a real and serious profit based on real trading.

Question: Why did you decide to open online investment program?

Answer:  Well, I always knew the online market for investments was pretty big, and we decided to give it a shot, if we have more people investing with us, it also means higher profits for us, so it is a profitable business.

Question: Where are you based? Are you a registered company, If yes, where is the company registered?

Answer:  Although we do not have a legal record yet, our website is
protected by copyright laws and legal paper will come with time.

Question: How do you generate profits for your investors?

Answer: We have two traders taking care of that, we invest into several business, we do not have one single source of profit, for example, e-currency trading is a profitable business at the moment and we are making a big profit out of it, we have also invested in some developping websites, which generate a very high ROI too.

Question:  What protections against DDoS attack do you have? Is investors money safe in your program?

Answer:  We are on a dedicated server, so we probably won’t have problems with DDOS and hacker attacks, and also, our script is unique and protected, and the database is backed up every few hours, in case something happens, no information is lost.

Question: Please tell us more about your plans: “Pro Investor”, “Serious hyip” and “Ultimate trade”. Are they risky?

Answer:  The Pro Investor plans pays a random profit of 1% to 8%, until you reach 150%, the daily percentage is aleatory and decided at the time to make the deposit, the minimum deposit for this plan is $10, and the maximum is $1000.

The Ultimate Trade plans pays 5% daily for 28 days, the minimum is $25, and the maximum is $2500.

The Serious HYIP plan pays 200% after 55 days of the deposit, the minimum deposit is $50, and the maximum is $5000.

We have three plans, so that our members can chose which one suits
them better, they are stable plans, the profit rates are not absurd so
we can keep them going for a very long time.

Question:  What about your Affiliate Program? How it`s working exactly? What is CPM?

Answer: We pay a 10% referral commission every time someone you referred to the program makes a deposit, and the CPM works like that, for
every 1,000 people that visit the website trough your referral link,
you’ll earn $1, it’s a very easy and nice way to make some extra money.

Question: What kind of support you offer?

Answer: We have a support center, where members can contact us and we will reply to their e-mail.

Question: What type of payment processors do you accept?

Answer: We accept Liberty Reserve and AlterGold, more options will
be added as the program grows.

Question: How do you plan to make your program stable for a long time? What are your plans for the future?

Answer: Our investment plans are stable, and we have the best traders, so
the profit is guaranteed for a long time. As the program grows,
we will probably hire more staff and make changes to make sure
the program will continue to be stable and profitable to all our
members and us.

Question:  What makes Liberty Insider program unique from other hyips? Tell me a few reasons to join your program.

Answer: Well, we wouldn’t like to be considered a hyip, we’re an investment team, what makes us different is that we are doing real trading and we are serious about this project, we want to change the industry
into something a lot better than it has been for the past years, and we’re going to make it happen.

Question: What advice would you give to newbie investors?

Answer: My advice would be not to just deposit their money in any site,
they need to understand the hyip industry before investing anywhere,
the best idea is to be guided by someone who is already in the industry,
otherwise they’ll just lose their hard earned money.

Question: Your opinion about money-monitor service.

Answer: It’s new to me, but seems like a very good service, with all those
interviews, members can get to know their admins a little better,
and having personal contact with admins is very important, money-monitor
makes it easier.

Question: Anything you wish to add yourself?

Answer: I want to say, once again, that this is a serious project, and we are
committed to make it a success, if anyone who is thinking about
becoming a member, do not hesitate to contact us, we are going
to do our best for you!

Thank you for the interview. Interview by Money-Monitor Team.

e-gold Wins Appeal in D.C. Circuit for Hearing on Asset Seizure

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

[Melbourne, FL] — e-gold Ltd is pleased to announce a favorable ruling from The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in the matter of whether it, Gold & Silver Reserve, Inc., and Directors of both corporations are entitled to a hearing in the Federal district court regarding whether there was sufficient probable cause to justify seizures of assets from the corporations in December 2005 and April 2007.

The higher court concluded:

“In short, we hold that where the government has obtained a seizure warrant
depriving defendants of assets pending a trial upon the merits, the
constitutional right to due process of law entitles defendants to an
opportunity to be heard at least where access to the assets is necessary for
an effective exercise of the Sixth Amendment right to counsel.”

This ruling will ultimately prove to be beneficial to all Americans whose Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights have been increasingly encroached upon in the name of fighting domestic wars du jour – whether or not they use e-gold.

e-gold Ltd, Gold & Silver Reserve, Inc., and their Directors believe there was insufficient probable cause for the seizure warrants at issue and look forward to finally having their day in court on this matter.

This is a guide I made a while back for people who were getting ripped off by hyips, autosurfs, investment scams. Most of these sites were run by underaged kids who had no clue what they were doing.

You want to go up the chain of command and just ask the first person and other employees in company if possible. Ask them 3-4 times, bug them until you at least get a reply or a response. If you get what you’re looking for, consider yourself lucky. Email them, call them, write them certified letters – do whatever it takes to try and get a response. Be sure and always save records of what you sent them and what you’ve received. Print it out and save it somewhere.

 How to Increase Alexa Ranking:

1. Download Alexa Toolbar from alexa.com and browse your own website.

2. Encourage your friends (and colleagues, if its your company’s website) to install alexa toolbar and browse your website.

3. Signup on webmaster forums and add your websites in your message signatures and posts some articles. (This may also increase your google ranking as well.)

4. Join an autosurf network for alexa credits. Most of these networks are free to join but you may need to pay them to buy credit (in case you do not want to surf and gain credit.)
Visits from autosurf networks are not real visitors. You may not need them if your domain is not fairly new.

5. Add alexa rank widget on your website.

6. Using alexa redirects also helps.
http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.money-monitor.com
Replace www.money-monitor.com with your web address.

7. Use Pay Per Click on major search engines. If you have alexa rank widget installed on your website then any visit will be a credit to your alexa rank.

Google recently sent out a letter to AdWords Advertisers to halt further ads which promote “e-Gold”. This e-mail letter from Google was sent on Sept. 5, 2007 – content follows.

Dear AdWords Advertiser,

We are writing to inform you of a change to Google’s advertising policies that may affect your AdWords account. In the coming weeks, we will no longer accept AdWords ads that promote e-gold.

Ads and websites are also not accepted for related content which includes, but is not limited to, e-gold exchange, e-gold investment, and e-gold accounts. When we make this change, Google will suspend all ads identified as being in violation of this policy.
