Straight From the Donkey's Mouth

Unless there's some massive crypto payments going on or some large bonuses (either of which might be true for Capuano or Mordica), this is really just a vehicle to make Josh rich.
There was one email a while back that articulated BTC payments to a few of the principals. Anyone have that? It might give us a window into total compensation.
And listening to him he states that he is out to get noobs and make them the largest part of his customer base aka GAWTARDS recruited to milk for every dime.
Within the last day someone who was a former customer of GAW reached out to me to tell me his story. Basically he is a single father raising 2 girls who works very hard and looked at cryptos in a way in order to potentially get some additional revenue to save up for his daughters college fund.
The PM was really long, detailing a lot of things I would rather not be made public (especially since he asked me not to post anything directly), but the premise of the PM was 1. this was the first time he got involved with cryptos and 2. he bought some of the mining gear from GAW because of the promise of "always profitable".
It was really an upsetting story, and tugged at my heartstrings. The upside of it is that he is not in the poor house or homeless, just having to pay for some poor investments and pushing other things off a little longer.
I largely suspect that a number of folks who were GAW customers were also new to cryptos.
I was new to crytpo six months ago ( I had followed
BTC from the edge, mainly through tech and computer forums before that), and then a month or so after getting a couple miners I got an account here. I had been reading here for quite a while. You can see my first posts in this thread where I am asking (sic) "WTF is the deal with Paycoin? He is supposedly selling $20 bills for $4, is it for real". My instincts and common sense told me it was most likely a scam, but I thought maybe they were planning on buying out the initial investors to buoy the price @ $20. And- after all, GAW was a legit company with $100,000,000 in backing to make this happen- right? I had read the idiocy on Hashtalk, and actually signed up here mainly to find out about this, and my suspicions were proven to be correct. So, I did not become a victim of this scam, but I was definitely on Josh's target list for marks in his scam. This pissed me off. Then, on top of that, at that time Josh was here on BCT in person (through sockpuppet accounts) attacking people who saw through his scam- including myself personally. At that point I considered it to be game on, and have not let up since.
