Common Pickle was a part of Anthony Norman’s EQT Financial institution Ponzi scheme.
EQT Financial institution itself was a reboot of Norman’s collapsed Dragon International Finance Ponzi.
As per an undated replace despatched out to buyers, Norman suggested “each events have agreed to discontinue the partnership in an amicable method.”
Sure, that’s Anthony Norman superficially separating one element of his newest Ponzi from the opposite.
Reasonably than simply admit EQT Financial institution and Common Pickle are lifeless within the water, Norman trotted out a prolonged “haterz” exit-scam.
Initially we had been happy and overwhelmed by the constructive response. The loyal following of the Pickle is a good crowd and we loved working with you – nonetheless a small variety of people began appearing in a really unprofessional and unacceptable approach.
This included threats to our workers and most significantly they had been contacting the general public corporations we had been selling in very inappropriate manners, resulting in EQT risking to lose some its key purchasers.
Such actions are in fact not acceptable, and we have now on every occasion notified the related authorities.
We’ve got at all times, and can repeatedly, apply a zero tolerance method to such issues and we is not going to interact in a scenario the place we or our purchasers are topic to such behaviour that straightforward doesn’t belong within the skilled world.
The explanation that we’ve been quiet is that we have now been debating and evaluating the place to go from right here and we wished to speak in a exact and correct method given the time delays this spring.
Following this, we got here to the conclusion that EQT and UPL have a robust future and will have a fantastic synergy, however our views on the operational elements are considerably totally different, and the upside to EQT versus the operational danger and trouble is approach too expensive within the context of the dimensions of the mission, so each events have agreed to discontinue the partnership in an amicable method.
Whereas it’s inevitable Norman has cultivated numerous victims over time, right here’s the true purpose he’s pulling the plug:
After simply two months, the writing is on the wall. Norman made his cash flogging UPL to gullible buyers and it’s time to give you one thing new.
EQT Financial institution’s web site seems to have been deserted. At time of publication it’s throwing up a safety certificates error.
In an try to discourage buyers from contacting authorities, Norman is dangling a refund carrot.
Those that have subscribed will obtain an electronic mail with directions subsequent week and all funds might be paid out in the course of the month of Could as funds are being launched again to us.
Cue the inevitable refund delays subsequent month, Common Pickle’s web site taking place and extra excuses.
