Exactly! And yet, apparently that's what they are trying to convince us of:
From How a Business Flop Became Political Force [Hsu]
Mr. Waters says he asked few questions before investing. "I figured if Hillary trusted him, I could trust him,"That's all it took!? This guy is a self-identified Republican, as many others who got "caught up" in this money laundering scheme. And they all trusted Hillary so much that they invested millions of dollars and/or their life savings? And she was not even an underwriter of the venture... And most of them made "commission" payments to Hillary in the form of political donations to her campaign.
And from this article :
"He believed them when they said it was safe," Tidus said.Before investing, Adams said, he met with Ashton & Associates President Mark Cheshire and Ashton Investments President Kevin Cornish at Ruby's Cafe in Tustin. He brought along Heckler.
At the meeting, the lawsuit alleges, "Heckler actually expressed the view that the bridge-loan investments sounded like a Ponzi scheme." Yet after learning that he could earn commissions by bringing clients into the venture, Heckler became an "enthusiastic" supporter of the investment, the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit also says Heckler ignored a plea from Gregory Adams' mother to keep him out of the bridge-loan deals because they sounded too good to be true.
Gregory Adams ended up putting most of his assets -- including his IRA -- into Hsu's scheme, wiring more than $3 million into it between June and August, the lawsuit says.
This is the money quote. You are smart enough to acquire a nest egg of 3 million dollars, but are stupid enough to fall for a Ponzi scheme blessed by the Clintons.
