I must admit my first hyipmonitor was german, in a sense. It was aug. 2004 when I came accross HyipInvestment and -Discussion, my introduction into HyiP. I was impressed and for reason kept it close to my heart until I really started investing, some months later. I always imagined Steve, being handicapped, maybe polically handicapped and or motivated, as so many young americans are in Europe. So believe it or not, for me HyipIn- et all was established in a cellar underneath Cologne cathedral. It was a time they sended out a bi-weekly report from some austrian email-adress. Nevertheless, for me now Steve and team fell through, except I guess for Texan Loretta modding, because of the way they handled both PiPs and Plexplay. I somehow felt offended, by their secrecy, a thing I notice all along the hyipscene: very little openness. So the arrest of Thorsten CEO Plexplay because of too many millions in cash, in social controlled Norway, europe’s richest country, a thing one shouldn’t do anyway, triggered my depart from Steve and Hyipdiscussion.

If a HYIP is open with what they do, I guess they’re for real. Most of them don’t come out with what they’re doing, so to say ponzis and scams.
