    I hope he loses it all. Im sick of the press trying to make poor people feel sorry for rich people who do dumb things with they're money.

    Why is it we are supposed to feel sorry for the elite? Shit happens, deal with it.

    Where he goes, and what he does from here on out, will be his measure of being a success in life or just another burned out super star loser.

    It is Elways choice to be a victim or to be victorious.

    I don't think Elway chose to lose a few members of his family in a 15 month span. Now I am not backing him up on his financial mishaps. However, give the guy a break. He has been through a lot.

  • Reveling in someone else's misfortune doesn't advance you any.

    Party foul.

  • I hated Elway when he was against us, but I have to confess he was a great Quarterback.

  • John Elway is a huge Happy Days fan, he thought he was investing in a Fonzi scheme. 😆

  • First, he and his partner are out 3 mil....not 15

    There is no interest being paid, so the days of living on interest are over...at least for now.

    It isn't a matter of pity or feeling sorry for him. It's the opposite where people seem glad this sort of thing happened.....those are the ones I pity.

    I didn't see posts of glee when Kosar lost his family and fortune.

    I think there were some trolls that expressed those sentiments of glee.

    Such a thing can happen to anyone.

    Like you said, NO interest is being paid, so people are trying to find some way to get a decent return on funds and this sort of risky investment becomes enticing.

  • I'm sory for his losses or anyones losses. Be it that they have money or not, they worked for it sacraficed for it and what have you. To be scammed is also a shame. A persons damages, failures or heartbreak feels the same no matter who, what or where they are in life.

    I don't know you Batman....so maybe you are very wealthy and astute in the ways of the world and money, but a lot of people at least fairly wealthy and astute in the ways of money have been scammed.

    In my lifetime I have probably lost $400,000 in investments gone bad.....just the way it goes....and those were without people trying to rip me off, so I guess that makes me a dumb ass....but I don't think so since I have a pretty nice nest egg and have done pretty well with my investments....let's just say I love McDonalds.....I bought in early and hard. McDonalds is the best restaurant company ever.

    off-topic, but i have read your posts on this topic before. are you also on the Chipotle bandwagon? just asking, since McD's swallowed them up.

    far be it from me to offer financial advice to anyone i've never met face to face, but fwiw i think Chipotle is a solid buy as well and i recommend getting in again if you haven't already, Peen. jmo, of course. 😉

    no comment on Elway. i won't even tune into the local about it. then again, i don't even have tv right now so.......

  • oo

    I'm sure there are many wealthy people that have been scammed. As I said, I feel for anyone that goes through a tough time. Glad your McDonald stock is doing so well....you can thank me and my kids.
