Careful: this is a scam. Amazon, please remove this product.

If you order Martin Armstrong’s DVDs about the global sovereign debt crisis you get this product as a suggestion.

This has nothing to do with armstrongeconomics and is just a photocopy collection of random short stories which are out of copyright... just to thinly veil it as a product - could as well bind old newspaper and sell it. Worth probably <1USD in production (and produced on demand) and charged 15USD.. I will return it although the carrier costs will exceed 15USD - this must not be allowed.

This purchase damaged amazon’s reputation for me, although I can understand that it might be difficult to monitor millions of products. But this publisher deserves to be watched and banned if this is the only line of “commerce” they engage in.

AMAZON

As a global investment manager, Martin Armstrong had little trouble selling himself to sophisticated clients overseas. On the strength of a stellar performance record, an impressive Web site and his claims of running one of the world’s largest economics advisory firms, he raised more than $3-billion from Japanese companies eager for American-style gains in their portfolios.

Now those companies are facing giant losses and probably ruing the day they heard of Armstrong’s investing techniques.I

According to a complaint unsealed Monday by Mary Jo White, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, Armstrong lied about returns he was generating in his customers’ accounts and illegally pooled their money, essentially using funds raised from new investors to pay off older customers.

The fraud appeared to be a desperate attempt to hide massive trading losses. Armstrong owes some $1-billion to investors, but prosecutors say only $46-million in assets remains in the accounts.
