So at first I thought this post was obviously in jest. You know, in good fun... a joke. After all, what idiot would believe that anybody would start buying shares of a future fortune based solely on the writings of some poor sap, handcuffed to a desk, and forced to write fortune-cookie fortunes at gunpoint? But now MEH! seems to think it's serious, and it got me wondering, "What if it really is serious? What if the fortune is real? What if it's 'magic' is really magical?" MEH! says it's a scam, but I don't know. It sounds like a really good deal. I've got about $20,000 equity in my home, and I'm thinking about taking out a second mortgage to invest. What do you guys think? $20,000 ought to give me a pretty good return. Wow. So at first I thought this post was obviously in jest. You know, in good fun… a joke.

Let's say that 60 million people invest $1 in this and the final fortune which you actually get is $1. That would mean that everyone would get back roughly 50% of what they put in plus one sixty millionth of a dollar..? You make yourself $30 million... Let's say, for arguments sake, that ten people invest in your stupid scheme, and it IS a scheme, and each of them give you $1. You can then state that the fortune acquired was something stupid like an additional fortune cookie and therefore the initial investment of $10 will give your investors $0.50 return because there was no value to the actual fortune. You make yourself $5 Every way I look at this is screams "SCAM!" ================= A better way to make money would be to put bets on how long it will be before this comment is removed or how likely it is to be posted in the fist place it needs verification.

It's in Article V Subsection 3 "If the 'fortune' discovered is less than the total value of all shares then payout is 50% of any share's value." I would be more concerned with the definitions in the beginning though. "Fortune: The fortune predicted, herein reffered to as "the fortune" shall be defined in writing at the time of payout by the proprietor of the fortune. Monetary or otherwise, the fortune must be designated as such by the majority stock holder (or majority vote) before payout can occur" Hope that's helpful :) Like I said, there are some stipulations and fine print to go over but I only do that after sign up :)

One question though - the math doesn't seem to make sense. Let's say I invest 1000 dollars, and your fortune ends up being the 1000 dollars I gave you, how much do I get back? I’m in.
