Is it me?...Why would anyone take on the role of Admin for an online investment opportunity? Certainly not moi!

I'm sure I will be lambasted for some of the things I'm going to say in this post but to be honest very little surprises me at the moment.

There are probably thousands of people who are right now waiting for some news from the Admin of Thirty Dollar Unit. It's been quite some time since the site went down and the forum that took its place has experienced a roller coaster of emotions since it was set up. In fact it's a classic case of initial euphoria followed by mild unease and descending into some fairly unsavoury stuff. So, why has this happened?

Personally, I believe it is like many other such online investments...lack of communication and over optimism.

The TDU admin, Jackie, is bearing the brunt of what is turning out to be some heavy scepticism around the whole operation.

Now I have no inside knowledge of TDU or any other online investment but what I do know is that if ever I invest I go in with my eyes open and in the knowledge that I could lose my money. It seems a shame that countless others don't have this attitude either through ignorance of the online investment world or just like to cause trouble.

Will TDU pay? I can't answer that but it certainly won't help if I send pointless questions to Jackie and her team as this will only increase the delays. Just let them get on with things. If we get paid then that's great, if not, just move on.

Now I know many people will say that this is a blinkered view and somewhat dismissive of other people's situations and whilst I have sympathy for people who put their money into programmes such as TDU hoping to pay off some serious debts I have to question whether they fully understand the risks involved.

I've already had comments saying that I have no right to pass comment on TDU but as far as I'm aware free speech is still my right so I'll continue to voice my opinion. I've also been asked to join an alternative TDU forum but again I just don't see the point of creating an alternative.

We are all frustrated at the time it is taking to get things resolved and it is possible that they never will be to our satisfaction but I'm not going to self-flagellate in the meantime. Let Jackie and her team get on with things and see how things turn out.
