Ah, Tommy Styles. How ya doin? I have to admit I've never actually decided whether you're a flat out scammer or just really gullible. You do realize, don't you, that the Dinar RV is as big, if not bigger, scam than GreenZap ever was"

I was just stating a point. Gregg did call the Iraq Dinar a scam. As far as comparing GDP's do you not have to look at the sanctions the UN and IMF had put on Iraq the past 8 years and also look at what had happened because of the war, of course it is hard to compare the GDP to others. I would also like to know how much the U.S. has really pumped into Iraq. I think Iraq would surpass Saudi and Kuwait if they could get a half way decent political system in place. You have to admit that there is a lot of potential there if the people could put aside their differences and work together.
As has been pointed out, I did not say the Dinar is a scam, it is the legal currency of a sovereign nation. I did say that the story being told by the pumpers and dealers encouraging you to buy dinar in anticipation of a dramatic increase in it's value is a scam. And it is. And the sad part is the dinaridiots are getting taken six ways from Tuesday. Between the dealers who are overcharging you on not just dinars, but outragous shipping charges, to the guy this thread was originally about who was
1) charging about twice the already inflated rate for dinar
2) telling a story about a hedge fund that your possible allocation in would be related to how many overpriced dinar you bought from him
3) charging a non-refundable $750 fee to reserve a spot in the aforementioned hedge fund (and that was a violation of federal law, both saying there was a fee and again when he actually took it).

How many people have paid for the DinarVets VIP room, so you can get an e-mail from Adam Montana about an event that is never going to happen, but trust me if it did would be about as big a news story as any since 9/11.
How many people have paid him for his book, where he gives you very bad advice on how to cash in (as if, but I digress)...hint, the best way to cash in is to go to an FDIC insured bank. There is no "special rate savings" or other hooey, currency exchanges are regulated by FINRA, your rate for service fees is the same anywhere you go, and the rate they cash in at is gonna be the spot price as listed, which of course doesn't apply because the IRD is not listed. The difference there is instead of instant spot, you'll get prior days close pricing...
How many gurus are getting paid by the dealers to tell insane stories everyday "It's Done!!" "Obama signed off" "IMF deadline looming" or whatever the story of the day is, and the ones who aren't getting paid, how mentally ill are they that they need to tell a bigger lie everyday for fear that the spotlight will veer away from them for a minute?

I know how it can be inside a closed mental loop, and you prolly don't see it, but trust me, to most of the sane people of the world, and damn near all of the ones who know a bit about money, y'all look to be either insane, stupid as dirt or crooks. And that's putting it nicely. It hardly helps your case that scattered among the the ones you would call the "relatively smart ones" are low level criminals, get rich quick hucksters and scammers of various stripes well and long known to people who follow scams. A guy on one of the dinar forums who calls himself "Chico" for instance, is a guy who is tied to more HYIPS, Autosurfs, Reverse Pension Plans and outright scams than I can count, and despite his bragging how much he's making at any given time from whatever program he's pimping is in fact on the dole, collecting government benefits and doesn't have two nickels to rub together.

As to your comment about comparing GDP, well, I was trying to illustrate a point about relative wealth of nations, which I won't bother to explain to you because you don't want to know what's true, unless it feeds your fantasy. I'm sure your guru of choice has tried to explain away how it doesn't really matter that Iraq is a dirt poor third world nation, it's still going to have the strongest currency on earth. I'm also sure the guru has a good explanation as to how for the IRD to RV to just PAR with the USD it would in fact take about twice as many dollars as are ion existence to facilitate that.

But I just want to point out a few stone cold hard facts before you max out the credit cards (or have you already?) There are reports that one of your gurus is a checker at a grocery store, another is a truck driver, Tommy, who uses his real name I have to point out, also admits he's a truck driver (honorable profession by the way), and at least on of the Dinar Gurus is involved in the NESARA, WGS storyline that if you dig a little you'd discover depends heavily on not only Obama being impeached, but also approval from a guy named Lord Ramma, and Commander Hatton of the ET Spaceship Capricorn, currently in orbit cloaked from human hobby amateur telescopes. (I am not making this up, trust me..better yet, don't trust me, go to quatloos.com and search for NESARA)
This cast of more nuts than California Mental Health Granola is also as a group making millions of dollars off of the so called investors.

I ain't making squat, I don't believe in UFOs and really do have a PhD in Economics....without even mentioning I have in the past worked for both The Federal Reserve (I was a pissant intern, but I worked there) and The Bank of England (I wasn't a exactly pissant intern there, although I made no policy, I worked foreign reserves theory) and believing me only requires you to have a bit of common sense.
