I feel sorry for them, too :( :( I looked into it, opened an account so that I could look around, but never invested -- it never felt right, there was not enough substance, too many "ponzi!!!" alarm bells. I had the benefit of a lot of good advice and ultimitely decided to keep my investments elsewhere. I think it was probably a pretty expensive lesson for a lot of people but I hope that the people who were burned survive and will at least be ok :( This sucks. Sigh.
