Dinar Indictments

"Removing Three Zeros"
Brad Huebner, Charlie Emmenecker, and
Michael Teadt doing the perp walk
 

Kudos to MrIQD for staying on top of this story for four months now.  Seems that three of the guys featured on my blog's banner have new photos on the internet, courtesy of law enforcement.  Brad Huebner, Charlie Emmenecker, and Rudolph Coenen have all been indicted on dinar-related charges.  Hopefully there are more indictments to come.  Today BGG dismissed this as "no big deal", "a little trouble", "a goofy article", and "tax trouble".  Folks these guys were charged with defrauding investors out of $23.8 million dollars in dinar sales and $700,000 from non-existent hedge fund seats.  I'd say that qualifies as a big deal.  Breitling said that it was about structuring, but there's a little more to it than that.  The article says they repeatedly made false statements to sell dinar.   If making false statements to sell dinar is a federal offense I have to assume there are more arrests coming.  And what Breitling failed to mention is that according to Brad Huebner, Breitling was part of their marketing team for LDHL (24 minutes in). 

I've been telling you for a year now that the dinar world is full of crooks.  This is just the latest example.  Of course they're all presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law by a jury of their peers.  Nobody wants to deny them their rights.  But this is the biggest development in the history of this blog, and will no doubt send reverberations throughout the dinar world.  Read the indictment in the pdf file below to see how a federal document completely debunks what gurus are saying about the dinar.

9/21/12 UPDATE!!!   I've read through the indictment now and have had a day or so to reflect on this story.  Here are my observations.

  1. The indictment states that the CBI has expressed their intent to redenominate, not revalue.  Printing new currency and removing three zeros will be done for the sake of convenience, and won't change the value of the dinar.  (Just like we've been saying.)  Therefore promoting the dinar investment based on the presumed upcoming revaluation (#8) is fraudulent. 
  2. The indictment addresses the non-existent hedge funds.  This raises the question regarding other dinar gurus and dealers.  Does the post-RV product that they offer exist?  Is the post-RV service that they offer legit?  If the RV itself isn't legit as stated in the indictment it would be hard to imagine a post-RV product or service being legit.  So anybody using a special cash-in deal as incentive to buy into anything has to be rethinking that idea right about now.  Or any tax avoidance plan or any scheme to move revalued IQD out of the country to avoid taxes.  It will be interesting to see these guys revamp their dog and pony shows now. 
  3. The indictment states that EO13303 says nothing about the right to invest in the dinar, but refers to protection of the DFI.  This is also a point that many of us have been making for some time, and we now have official confirmation. 
  4. The indictment states that the US Treasury only holds a nominal amount of IQD for daily transactions.  Now we have evidence that they hold no IQD for investment purposes.  We've been saying all along that there is no evidence that the UST holds any dinar for any upcoming RV, but for some reason we were never quoted on Dinar Recaps, Dinar Guru, or Dinar Daddy.  Wonder why? 
  5. The indictment addresses Rudy's false claims about his background.  This raises the issue of gurus/dealers lying about their backgrounds in order to sell dinar, dinar services, dinar related products, or any other investment related product.
  6. The indictment mentions repeated lies told by the accused to sell dinar.  Anybody selling or pumping dinar for a dealer has to now realize that they could be the next ones doing the perp walk.  Review the page "Forum Facts" to see what lies they've been telling.
  7. The indictment reveals that an undercover agent bought dinar from Michael Teadt in May of 2011, so we know that the feds have been working undercover on the dinar case for over 16 months now. 
This is a good day, indeed.  We now know for a fact that the authorities weren't ignoring the situation.  They were just taking their time to build an airtight case.  My hope is that their intent was to make it so bleak for these guys that they will reveal everything that they know about the other douchebags in order to get reduced sentences, in which case I will have other arrests to report.  We can only hope.

More of the Best of Breitling

Over the past year of posting about the dinar I have found that one of the best ways to learn about it is to fact check what the gurus are saying.  Nobody puts more "information" and analysis out there than Tony "Breitling", so naturally I have listened to him quite a bit.  In fact I've created a separate blog just to address some of the things he's said lately.  It's called The Breitling Watch and there's a permanent link under Related Sites.

This will be my last post on Breitling unless he gets arrested or something equally newsworthy happens.  I had a lot of information left over from my previous Breitling research that I didn't know what to do with, so I decided to post assorted comments from The Tonester from 2009-2010.  For those of you who feel that I'm being cruel just remember how many people are being influenced to spend money they really can't afford on dinar, not just by Breitling but by all of these guys.  Think about the lives that have been ruined, marriages wrecked, homes foreclosed ..... even suicides.  (One guy wrote Breitling asking about when the RV would happen, saying that his house was about to be foreclosed.  B's response was "let 'em take the damn house!  You can buy another one after the RV!"  And people think I'm the douchebag?)  I have heard far too many of these stories and they're all a result of comments from people who either don't know what the flip they're talking about or are scamming people.


First of all I want to respond to a recent comment by Mr. B.  He was "debunking" my post on "Shabibi and Stability" when he cited an article from 2010 where Saleh from the CBI said:

"I've been working for years to improve the value of the Iraqi dinar exchange, and was taking several measures until we came to the stability of its value at 1170 dinars to the dollar."

Breitling presents this as proof that the CBI's policy is in fact to raise the value (meaning purchasing power) of the dinar, but this actually supports the contention that I've been making that every reference to raising the value is either talking about via redenomination or about raising the street value via the auctions.  Notice Saleh went on to talk about currency reform that will reduce the money supply from 25 trillion to 15 billion dinar, exchange rate stability, deleting three zeros, and issuing new currency to facilitate payments as Shabibi spoke about when he was in DC last year.  This describes a redenomination or "lop" to a T.

"Reform Progress
He disclosed that the new strategy has begun the reform of management system of the national currency and payment system of Iraq, said that this will be the basis in the application of Istratejp to reform the currency. The Iraqi official was likely that these steps will take a year or more.

..........

.........

In 1990, the cash block of 28 billion dinars, and became a six trillion dinars in 2003, and now stands at 25 trillion dinars. He said that this has become necessary to change the payment system because of the Iraqi economy on the verge of developing and producing oil major which leads to a large expenditure.

According to the adviser at the CBI, the new strategy will transform the current monetary mass (25 trillion dinars) to $ 15 billion through the adoption of coins and the smaller Iraqi currency.
.............
..............

Relative stability
For his part, said a banking expert, Mohammed al-Samarrai said the Iraqi dinar is witnessing a relatively stable for the time being, and security conditions influenced the rise and a slight decrease is not as great as in the past............

...........

Surplus oil
The Iraqi banking expert Mohamed Kamel Hussein said that there was a perception among the Iraqi Central Bank to raise three zeroes from the value of the dinar, by issuing a new currency to improve its value.

However, he believed that the lifting of the three zeros will not change anything because the factors affecting the exchange of the dinar against foreign currency depends on the surplus that is supplied by oil revenues."

So B proved my point without realizing it.




Here's an oldie but a goodie.  Back when Breitling was still posting at Med's site Dinar Speculator he was asked about a recent bombing at the CBI. 


Breitling chat: Dinar Speculator 6/21/10 @ 6:30pm June 21, 2010
irishbrian says to (19:02:43):

B, if they drag out the forming of the Gov’t would the wiser heads in the IMF and CBI relaize that the people need something to calm them down and the revalue would at least help to do that. Also the bombings of both CBi and TBI by the insurgents was not a conicidence?

BREITLING says to (19:04:07):

THE BOMBING WERE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT RV

NOT TO STOP IT

http://iraqidinarnews.net/blog/2010/06/22/breitling-chat-dinar-speculator-62110-630pm/



Yep.  According to the Tonester insurgents bombed the CBI because they didn't RV.  So imagine if you will a bunch of dirty, smelly, scruffy insurgents sitting around quoting the Koran, smoking cigarettes, and discussing the latest CBI financial statement. 

"Achmed, what is latest figure on foreign currency reserves?" 
"$43 billion"
"Still backing 100%?"
"Think so."
"Abdul, latest figures for M1 and M2?"
"25 trillion, 58 trillion"
"You believe them?
"Of course not.  Liars!"

"I agree ... Mustafa, latest GDP?"
"$105 billion, give or take."
"Opinions?"
" Still undervalued."
"Agreed.  We Bomb!"
"ALLAHU AKBAR!!!"


Even for Breitling this is stupid.  We're talkin' Okie Oilman stupid.  The CBI was bombed for the same reason every other target was - either sectarianism or resistance to the democratization of Iraq.


Before this fine piece of Iraqi news analysis came an impressive example of B's grasp of modern finance.

4/5/09

In Fractional reserve banking ( which CBI is using) you take $1000 down to the bank and deposit the funds. The bank in return can loan 10 X that amount in credit but it is all based on money's or currency that is not there. you people are simply not under standing how banks work or how they get wealth. so you get a annual report the bank is going to post the inflated credits as if they had real currency. Iraq does not have 35 trillion dinars in hard currency. they have 9 trillion end of story. If i go down to my local bank and i was the only customer and deposit $1000 the bank will report it has $9000 in value. ok they take that $9000 give out a $1000 loan they can add another $9000 to the value of the bank with one deposit and one loan they are at $19,000 in value. is this BS oh hell yeah. but this is how banks are ran and they can pump up the numbers like this as did CBI and every other bank that uses fractional reserve banking. please no more lectures on banking and M2 reports how it all works ,links with shoty definition. and i work part time as a plumber/ construction worker/ banking expert advice. again only place on the planet people are saying Iraq has 35 trillion hard currency is on IIF. so I know you guys are trolling over here. lets get back to the rumors. because as far as i am concerned any one's guess on dates, is as good as any one Else's guess, and plus it is fun. and yes you can float a false rate based on this information example UNITED STARES OF AMERICA. we do it and why should Iraq not do it they have the same system as we do. they same people who own the Federal reserve run the world bank, and the IMF, they own our currency and they own Iraq;s currency also, CAN YOU SAY SLAVES. they manipulate the world through banks. with value that does not really exist.


http://www.dinarrumor.com/showthread.php?1241-Activity-at-the-CBI-on-4-02-09&p=8208#post8208


I asked John Jagerson about the fractional reserve cash-in theory.  He said that right now we only have about $2 trillion USD in circulation.  If investors suddenly cashed in $2 trillion via fractional reserve banking it would double the dollars in circulation virtually overnight which of course would lead to a considerable devaluation if not a crash of the dollar. 

B then says that there was only 9 trillion dinar in circulation in 2009 .... "end of story".  But the CBI website financial statement indicates that there were 21 trillion dinar outside of banks and 45 trillion in the M2 in 2009.  So I guess there was more to the story, huh? 

http://www.cbi.iq/documents/key%20financial.xls


And finally, no Iraq doesn't have the same system that the US does, not when it comes to their currency.  The USD is a free floating currency that is recognized as a world reserve currency.  The IQD is a pegged currency of a country that inspires so little confidence that they're backing it 100% with their foreign currency reserves and they still have trouble maintaining the official value on the streets of Iraq.



In February of 2010 B said that the RV was in the budget.  I don't know how many times I've heard that over the past couple of years but I'm convinced that this started on Med's site and B was repeating what he heard.

February 3, 2010

THE RV IS ALREADY IN THE BUDGET
I KEEP GETTING IM’S PEOPLE IN PANIC
AKING IF WHAT EVER NEWS COMING OUT IS BAD
JUST REMEMBER THE RV IS IN THE BUDGET

http://dinarded.wordpress.com/2010/02/03/breitling-chat-02-03-2010/


Well, apparently the RV wasn't in the budget, huh?


A few weeks later B says that the Iraqis' pay was cut so that must mean that the dinar will be worth more. 


February 20, 2010

IRAQ IS RUNNING ON 20% OF BUDGET LEFT OVER FROM LAST YEAR
THE NEW BUDGET WILL START SOON
MARCH 1ST
WE ALSO ARE GETTING NEWS OF FUNDS BEING PAIED IN LESS DINAR
BUT WILL SAME VALUE
SO THE END OF THE BUDGET AND THE NEW PAYMENT SCALE ARE ALL IN PLACE
BEFORE ELECTIONS
WHEN THIS YEARS BUDGET STARTS IT VERY WEL CAN HAVE THE NEW RAte in it
SO WE HAVE TO BE SO CLOSE
PEOPLE IN IRAQ ARE GETTING LESS DINAR FOR WORK
BUT THE VALUE IS THE SAME
SO THIS WILL GIVE US A RV
MEANS THE DINAR IS WORHT MORE COOL

http://dinarvets.com/forums/index.php?/topic/8976-breitling-chat-ds-22010-1249am/


So I guess these poor Iraqi shmucks have been working for reduced pay for two and a half years now waiting for the RV.  Boy would that suck!



In March 2010 B did a Q & A session at Dinar Daddy.  He was known at the time as one of the main pundits at Med's site Dinar Veterans which became Dinar Speculator.

March 9, 2010

Annonymous Question:
Please dont take this the wrong way. What are your “credentials” and what resources do you have to make you a person of interest concerning this investment. In other words, why should we listen to you? I apologize if this sounds blunt, but I dont know much about you and you are involved with a very controversial person. DD has created a great site. All info, he doesnt give his opinion. Everyones opinion over the last 5 years have unfortunately been wrong. I really dont want to hear opinions anymore. Just facts. According to DD, you fall in that catagory. Thanks you and I appreciate your time and effort. Please

Breitling Answer:
This is a fair question and I appreciate that as a investor I am just that nothing more. In my personal life I own a software company. I never asked anyone to listen to me. I have talked on our private site and some of it has leaked out.  And I have been approached ever since our bread and butter is watching the IMF CBI and GOI. We have not stopped looking at this investment from that perspective. As far as information being wrong I would not know about that I watch what has been done and look for windows, not a hard job really.

Here B only mentions that he owns a software company.  No mention of him being a bank owner, a political consultant, a real estate consultant, a professional investor, a manufacturer .... etc.  All claims he has made over the past year or so.  (I documented this in The Breitling Catalog.)  This doesn't prove anything really, but I do find it interesting.  He had a perfect opportunity to give them the whole Breitling resume and all he mentions is the software company. 



UJGWBW Question:
Breitling, First of all thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. It is greatly appreciated. I know that everyone is very optimistic that we are all going to make a huge amount off of this investment, but what in your opinion are the odds that we make as much as everyone is thinking? From reading Pacster’s info on here he believes we will make about 6 times our money which is a great return, but everyone else tends to believe we will make 1000 times our return.I know that in any investment there is a chance that we could lose money, so what in your opinion are the odds we lose money on this investment? Finally if it does not happen by the elections when do you think the RV will take place? Again thank you for answering our questions.

Breitling Answers:
I don’t know who pacster is and I don’t know where he gets his numbers and I don’t worry about other people posts I don’t ask them for there opinions not interested. I have people who do math all day on this and none of them can agree so I stay away from the rates. Best guess I will go with the Dubai boy’s $1.49 remember best guess only. I really don’t get to much into finding the rate to be honest I just look for the date I spent all I can on this investment no matter what the rate is going to be. so knowing the rate will not help me or do anything for me.  As far as chances of investment not panning out it depends on how you look at it. You know the Dinar is going to go up I mean you have to be a idiot to no think the Dinar is not going to go up, look at all the countries around Iraq and the rate of the currency. Iraq has a ton of recourses. Way more then all in that region So how can the rate not go up ? I mean you have to be blind IMOP not to see it. And, if you think Iraq is going to be below a 1 USD after looking at all those other countries and they don’t want Iraq coming in to low because or labor and export rates. Then I don’t know what to tell ya. So I think your safe and I wish you well with this investment. If it does not next window is when the new budget hits and the new rate may be attached to it. March 15th I think

Well in the two and a half years since he said this the dinar has gone up 1/3 of 1%.  No, it doesn't have to go up.  It obviously doesn't have to do anything.  It could very well stay about where it is for years.

  

CWO4USMC Question:
Breitling, I’m very tired of seeing the dead LOP horse being beaten. That horse is dead IMO but it just won’t go away.. I have a question that I have not seen anyone ask before. IF a LOP happened I.E. the removing/raising of the 000’s will take away the bills with ,000 printed on them. 25,000 10,000 ……. 1,000 will be taken out of circulation, how does this or should I say how “Can” this apply to a bank account with no paper money?

Breitling Answer:
The only people on the planet that talk about LOPS are from one forum and the misunderstanding have been carried to other forums Iraq under any law are in no condition to LOP they could not even if they wanted to they have one of the lowest inflation rates in the world, and LOPS only apply to countries with high inflation 50% and above. This started when WARKA was trying to scare people into buying stock and for the longest time it worked. You don’t need to worry about the LOP. I don’t care how you read the articles Iraq wants the big notes off the market. And the three zeros of the
rate that’s two dif things.

Here you have the blind answering the blind.  The question comes from a guy who thinks that "deleting three zeros" means they will remove the notes with three zeros from circulation.  As I have posted before "deleting zeros" means redenomination (lop) and in a redenomination all denominations are demonetized.  And of course electronic currency is adjusted to reflect the rate of the new currency.

B says that the only people on earth who talk about the lop are the confused members and former members of "one forum" which I believe is a reference to IIF (Investors Iraq Forum).  I guess he forgot about Shabibi.  He said when he was in DC last year that deleting the zeros is being done simply to facilitate payments.  That's what a lop does.  He has also stated that he was studying the redenomination of Turkey, which was a lop.  By the way, Turkey's inflation rate was under 10% when they lopped in 2005.  And if Iraq wants the big notes off the market they've got a strange way of doing it.  The money supply is going up, not down.  How do you increase the money supply while removing the 000 notes from circulation and without raising the value of the dinar?



Gloria Roop Question:
Do you believe that the dinar’s value will increase to its former value in the future? If we all cash some dinar at the opening rv, is it wise to hold on to some and wait out the increase? I truly believe that in the future ( five years or so) that the Iraqi dinar will be the most valuable money in the world. Thank you all so very much for being there for all of us. Your expertise is so very appreciated.

Breitling Answer:
I am right there with you but the way I look at it with the investments I have planned I can make $5 per Dinar on investing it on other projects with in the 5 year mark, so for me it is a big risk, you may be in a dif spot then me so it depends on how you look at it, I also am in the opinion that they will have the number one rated currency on the planet in the 5-10 year range. I wish you and your family well.

That was two and a half years ago so that 5-10 year range is now 2.5-7.5 years.  So far it's gone up 1/3 of 1%.  That means it's increasing in value at a rate of 1% every 7.5 years.  At that rate it will take 750 years to go up 100%.  7,500 years to go up 1,000%.  75,000 years to go up 10,000%.  750,000 years to go up 100,000%.  That means it will take over 3 million years to become the world's most valuable currency.  So according to my math B is off by 3 million years, give or take. 


Sharon Dryden Question:
Again and Again I ask myself, “Why aren’t the Americans living in Iraq and or the nationals” within their own country speaking to each other and their neighbors, and people they would know in other parts of the world about the revalue of the currency and when this event will transpire???!!! Hmmmmm. Thanks, Coloradopinecrone

Breitling Answer:
Maybe this will help you , why did the people in India not buy the currency before the RV. Why did the Chinese not buy into that currency before the RV yet they RV’ed so did India? Why did’nt any one in the eastern block countries buy the new currency before it RVed ? Yet all this countries Rv’ed. kind of makes you go hmmmmmmmmmmm maybe the thought this investment was to good to be true? Like all the other countries that rved from 1955 on up? do your homework. One thing I learned in this life is you cant talk the avg human being out of being poor because it is all just to good to be true, or everyone would be doing it. Keep telling yourself that , just more pie for me.


As I pointed out in The Breitling Catalog the revaluations in India and Canada were each less than 30%.  If you had bought $10,000 worth of either one at precisely the right time your profit would have been between $2500 and $3,000.  A nice profit but "too good to be true"?  Hardly.  Now, if you own $10,000 worth of IQD and it goes from $.00086 to $.86 your profit would be almost $10 million, and THAT IS too good to be true!

B says that it took him a year to get this dinar thing down.  Well if you buy the idea that electronic currency can protect you in the event of a lop, or that it's possible to raise the value of a currency by 100,000%, or that you can reduce the money supply by 99% without a lop, or that you have to have 50% inflation to lop, or that Bush said the war would pay for itself, or that deleting the zeros means removing the larger notes from circulation .... then yeah, I guess B's got it down. 

B says that the IMF has raised the value of currencies several times since the 50s.  I'm still looking for documentation of this, but based on what I've seen so far I don't anticipate anybody producing it.  What I have found is a document from the Congressional Research Service that says:

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Trade Organization (WTO) approach the issue of “currency manipulation” differently. The IMF Articles of Agreement prohibit countries from manipulating their currency for the purpose of gaining unfair trade advantage, but the IMF cannot force a country to change its exchange rate policies. The WTO has rules against subsidies, but these are very narrow and specific and do not seem to encompass currency manipulation. Several
options might be considered for addressing this matter in the future, if policymakers deem this a wise course of action. To date, while the issue remains a topic of concern, governments have not
taken action to address the different ways the IMF and WTO address this topic

The IMF can exercise “firm surveillance” but it cannot compel a country to change its exchange rate. Nor can it order commercial foreign exchange dealers to change the prices at which they
trade currencies. It can offer economic advice and discuss how changes in countries’ exchange rates might be in their own interest. It can also provide a forum, such as its new multilateral
consultation mechanism or discussion on the IMF executive board, where other countries can urge a country to change its exchange rate procedures. However, in the end, the authority to make the change resides with the country alone.


http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RS22658.pdf



As for the plan to pay ourselves back before the war started, that's pumper BS.  Nothing about that war was planned very well beyond the overthrow of Saddam.  Remember, Donald Rumsfeld estimated that the war would last less than six months.  If there was a plan to cover the cost of the war that was obliterated by the ensuing insurgency that dragged the war on for eight years and escalated the cost to upwards of a trillion dollars.



In March of 2010 Breitling gave a pep talk to some downcast investors.

It was in fact another 6 months before the election was resolved and another 8 months before Maliki's government was approved by parliament.  As for his comments about murders in the US, the only country with a higher murder rate than Iraq is El Salvador.  As last week's bombings demonstrate Iraq is still a very dangerous place, and that discourages investment as anybody who understands economics and currency valuation realizes.

Yep, and here we still are.  As I pointed out in The Breitling Catalog the dong has steadily depreciated since then.  No RV.  I'm not sure but I believe this is where the hype about the dong originated, and since then it seems all the gurus have an opinion about it.  In my opinion it all started because some supplier was unable to deliver dong to his dealer client and somebody read RV into that.  You know how these things go.  Today currency dealers seem to have no shortage of VND.

It truly is amazing.  It's amazing to me that anybody listens to this guy.  Hiding the true value?  The true value is out there in plain view.  $.00086 is the value when you have about $60 billion in foreign currency reserves backing about 70 trillion in currency.  If they got rid of 70% then why do their money supply figures keep going up?  This was over two years ago, folks.  Are we to  believe that the Iraqis have been surviving on less than 30% of the money they had over two years ago?  And if they're using USD instead how does their foreign currency reserves total keep climbing?

Golden showers from Mr. B.  Interesting how here he says people bought dong thinking they would make a quick buck.  "That's not how this game works."  Yet one of the reasons they thought that no doubt was people like B saying "heavy hitters are buying it all up", "probably any day now",  "1-6 cents".  Three months later with no RV Breitling is saying they shouldn't have expected to turn a quick profit.  What a douche!  "Buy low, sell high."  Well how about buy low and watch it go lower?  And this 70% reduction of the money supply as we all now know was a total misinterpretation of an article about moving 70% of the excess liquidity into the economy. 


Like I said, Breitling is either completely misinformed and confused or he's a scammer.  Based on his recent pumping of the penny stock LDHL I'm leaning toward the latter.  The world of currency investments, MLM, and penny stocks is full of hucksters preying on the uninitiated and gullible.  I'm still waiting for B to pick a stock for us on NASDAQ or the NYSE that will go up substantially because of strong fundamentals as opposed to an OTC stock that can be manipulated through hype.

Hype from TD

Somebody recently posted an unwelcome spam comment on my blog.  I removed it a few hours after it was posted but I did click on the link and read through what was written so in a sense I'm grateful to the spammer because it brought the following to my attention. 


The deletion of zeroes will allow the value of the Iraqi Dinar to rise. It will facilitate in dealing with the currency and improve the payroll system in Iraq.
How Does it Impact Investment in Iraqi Dinar?
The deletion of zeroes will have a positive impact for the investor. Firstly, this will result in a rise in the value of Iraqi Dinar. Since, both old and new currencies will remain in circulation during the time of exchange. In effect the currency that the investor holds will be worth more.
The main aim in the investment of Iraqi Dinar is for profits. The deletion of zeroes is expected to raise the value of the Dinar and will serve the actual purpose of investment. The ICB believes that this step will speed up the process of raising the value of the Dinar. So, even though investing in Iraqi Dinars has been viewed as a long-term investment, the deletion of zeroes will allow investors to yield profits sooner.



These statements are misleading.  The deletion of the zeroes will not result in an increase in the value of the IQD.  It will result in the demonetization of the IQD as it is replaced by a more valuable currency in shorter supply. 


Iraq, ravaged by war, is now on the path of substantial growth. They have oil fields that will continue to support the economy and help in its growth. But, it is true that the growth of their Dinar will be linked with the political and economic condition of Iraq. Investment in the Dinar will follow the growth of their economy.
According to Global Finance Magazine the Real GDP growth of Iraq in 2011 was 9.9 percent. It is expected that it will rise to 11.1 percent by the end of 2012. According to the Iraq Daily Times the overall economic growth of the country will reach approximately 47% by 2014. This all will be made possible by strategic planning of the ministry.
This is, of course, the right time to invest in the Iraqi Dinar for someone who is looking for a long term investment. It is important that people do not confuse it with a get-rich-quick scheme because this is definitely a long term investment. It will take a few years before the economic situation of Iraq is stable enough to yield big benefits to the investors. However, their growth is inevitable with support and investment from the U.S.
It is the perfect kind of investment for people who are only willing to take moderate risk. Similar patterns were seen with the Kuwaiti Dinar that showed extremely high growth when its economy lifted itself after war. And if the past growth is any indication then the Iraqi economy can be expected to stand up on its feet and show considerable growth very soon. Just in 2006 the real GDP of Iraq was 17 percent.
If someone is considering investment in the Iraqi Dinar then do the necessary research that you would do for any other financial investment:
Keep a track of past performances and growth.
Keep an eye on the economic growth of Iraq and the world because both will impact the value of the currency.



First of all the dinar is a currency, not a stock.  The economic growth of the country might contribute to an increase in the monetary base, but it won't necessarily result in an increase in the value of the dinar.  Many countries with booming economies have a currency with a depreciating value.  Brazil, for example, is forecasting a GDP growth rate of 5.5% for 2013 which is more than twice that of the US currently around 2%.  So you would expect the Brazilian real to increase in value vs. the USD right?  Wrong!  The same forecasters say that the real will lose ground vs. the USD.  Dinar investors (and potential investors) need to grasp this fact, counterintuitive as it may be.  Currencies don't increase in value just because the economy is growing.  The opposite is true more often than not.  Many countries prefer a lower valuation for their currency as it benefits them when it comes to exports.  China is an excellent example as they've come under fire in recent years for keeping their currency's value artificially low. 

Secondly, they say that now is the right time to invest in the Iraqi dinar and yet in the preceding paragraphs they talked about the deletion of the zeroes which is a lop.  If Iraq is going to lop now is not the time to invest in the Iraqi dinar.  Now is the time to avoid owning the dinar as you will lose money. 

Third - past performance and growth?  Iraq's economy has grown impressively since 2009 (currently around 10%) and the dinar's value has gone up a whopping 1/3 of 1%.  Is that the kind of growth you're looking for?  Shabibi's policy is exchange rate stability, so why would anybody expect any significant gains from the IQD?  The only reason that I see to own dinar is if you anticipate a resurgence of inflation which would likely prompt a response by Shabibi similar to what happened from 2006-2009, but that's a gamble. 

And finally, why are these guys giving an assessment of the dinar as an investment in the first place?  By their own admission they're not financial consultants and are only registered as a Money Service Business (MSB) and therefore unqualified to offer any investment advice.

LDHL II

Last week I posted about LD Holdings (LDHL), an Over the Counter stock being pumped by dinar guru Breitling and the BH Group.  The pumping took it all the way up to $1.50 or so on Monday before the inevitable plunge to below $1 on Tuesday.  Currently it's about $1.15. 

I've stated before that many dinar investors have never invested in anything, let alone currency.  Well the same could be said for penny stocks.  They're inexperienced and somewhat naive about the dangers of the world of OTC stocks.  This is a market that is less strict and less regulated and therefore vulnerable to manipulation from scammers.

A guy with a following can say "hey, I'm buying XYZ stock because it's gonna explode!  You should too!"  Before long people who don't know better start buying and the stock goes up simply because of the unusual volume from the victims of the hype, who then see the stock going up and say "WOW!  He was right!  It's going up!"  Yeah, it's going up because the people who listened to the guy and started buying drove it up.  Then when he and his accomplices sell the stock tanks and the naive investors end up with a loss.  This scenario plays out constantly with penny stocks.  For more info watch this video on "Anatomy of a Pump and Dump".

But a sudden price drop isn't the only risk.  Even if the price goes up the penny stock investor doesn't have the assurance of liquidity that one does on NASDAQ or NYSE.  A stock might be showing a current value of $1.00 but the investor who decides to sell might have to take $.50 or less.  It's a lot like WARKA for the dinar investor.  Sure, your interest rate looks good on the computer screen, but what good does that do you if you can't withdraw your funds?   

Well apparently I'm not alone in my opinion about LDHL.  I found a site called Aim High Profits where they analyze microcap and nanocap stocks.  They wrote an article the other day that I think everybody interested in LDHL should read.  Also, if you or anyone you know is invested or thinking about investing in this company you should have an investment advisor look it over and offer their assessment. 

 Before you read the article I have something to show you.  A document has been brought to my attention that I think adds a lot of context to what is going on with LDHL. It's a contract between the owner of Financial Wellness LLC and LD Holdings.

Is it just me, or do the initials of the manager of Financial Wellness look like BH as in Brad Huebner?  You can review the consulting agreement document here

LDHL | An IQD Scud Missile Targeted For Baby Boomers


LDHL Stock, LD Holdings, Should I invest in Iraq DinarThe 2003 capture of Saddam Hussein was “a moment in history” that subsequently opened the door for a decade long scheme of investing in defunct, non-existent currency. The penny stock of LD Holdings Inc. (LDHL), focused on Baby Boomers, saw an incredible surge Friday, as high as $1.03, creating an intraday gain of over 98%. However, looking deeper into the SEC filings of the once swimming pool service company, turned restaurateurs, turned financial advisors, some insiders had paper gains of 3,333% on LDHL stock as of Friday’s high.
The sudden surge in the firm tied to pumping investments in Iraqi Dinar, IQD, has to cause an alarm for the Baby Boomers targeted to fist over cash for a fisting return. Sell LDHL before the bottom drops out like a scud missile.

Dr. Todd

Last week Tony from PTR conducted an interview with "Dr. Todd", an elderly gentleman who claims that he was involved in a 50 year plan to reset the global economy.  Many people were excited to hear his first hand account of how this plan was put together and is now about to come to fruition in the coming days.

Here's the problem.  When these douchebags at PTR first introduced Dr. Todd (or Dr. Pete) last year they told us that he was one of the people who worked on the Marshall Plan.  Well as I pointed out when I awarded Dan "Checkmate" Atkinson the 2011 Douchebag of the Year award, the last surviving author of the Marshall Plan was George Frost Kennan who died in 2005 at age 101.  I posted that in January and we haven't heard from Dr. Todd again until this past week.  Interestingly enough this time around he didn't say anything about being involved in the Marshall Plan, but rather tailored his story to a more believable timeline.  This time he says that he was an air control officer at the end of the Korean War. 

The fact that he is associated with the likes of Dan and Tony should be enough to thoroughly discredit this old-timer, but I'm still going to point out a few things.  First, Dr. Todd says that Queen Elizabeth's father set it up for her to control the funds for 50 years starting in 1958.  A quick glimpse at Wikipedia tells you that her father George VI died in 1952.  Even if you assume that he set it up years in advance you still have to wonder how a man who was having life-threatening health problems at the age of 55 would instinctively know that his daughter would live into her 80s? 

Second, Dr. Todd was saying that the RV was happening a year ago.  From what I see his intel is no better than any other dinar douchebag.

Here's another insightful discussion about Dr. Todd.

http://dinarvets.com/forums/index.php?/topic/76080-dr-pete-chat-very-good/page__st__20


My theory here is this.  Knowing what I do about these guys at PTR I suspect that Dr. Todd is a character that these guys created to drag into a conference call periodically when the faithful are losing hope and dropping out of their $15/mo membership.  Much of what he says is vague and rambling like many other douchebags who seek to manipulate people via intimidation and confusion.  If he was really involved in the plan for Iraq as he claims would he be talking about this stuff in a PTR conference call? 

Many of the earlier dinar gurus came out of the world of Nesara.  They saw how people were latching onto the hope of global settlements in that crowd and just brought the global settlements myth along with them into the dinar forums.

In his earlier days as a guru Dan drew a lot of his intel from Okie.  If you have followed Okie for awhile you know that he was also into the whole global settlements nonsense.  In fact I have a recording of a conference call where Okie was discussing this subject with Thing 1 and Thing 2 along with the GET Team from 2010.  Could it be that Dan, Tony, and Gary just created Dr. Todd based on the GET Team's interviews with other anonymous conspiracy nut dinar douchebags?  You're so cynical, Sam!

Connecting the Dots II

A few weeks back I posted about Dinar Corp and some of the people associated with it.  One of those people was Ivy Johnson who now acts as DC's spokesman.  Well a little more research has produced some very interesting results about Ivy.  He had a company called Ivy Johnson Broadcasting and another called Top Level Position.  It seems that they're both defunct now but the best I can gather is that Ivy Johnson Broadcasting was dedicated to video for the web and Top Level Position was an internet marketing company.  They did work for Pur3x, a MLM company selling an energy drink. 

If you'll go to http://www.livestream.com/ivyjohnsonbroadcasting and watch the second video you'll learn a bit about the founder of Pur3x Andrew Rinehart.  He says he's from Salt Lake City and learned about the potential of MLM from a company in Draper, Utah.  That sounded familiar to me so I went back into my archives and found a post I did last year called "MLM Meets the Dinar" about a company called DINAR XLR8R, now also defunct it seems.  Their domain name was registered to Efusjon, Inc. in Draper, Utah.  Efusjon is also an energy drink.  Coincidence?  I think not.

When I researched Efusjon back in October I wanted to see if it was a scam so I typed "Efusjon" and "scam" into Google and all I got was page after page of posts from distributors saying that it wasn't a scam.  The marketing strategy seemed clear to me.  Participants were apparently advised to create webpages and videos talking about the wonders of Efusjon and what an incredible opportunity it is  ... blah blah blah.  They were sure to say it's not a scam so that search engines would find the word "scam" in their text and pull up their site when somebody used it as a keyword.   That way you don't find the pages that have something negative to say about the company on the first few pages.  Very clever!

Well I tried the same thing with Pur3x and got similar results.  They're obviously using the same internet marketing strategy as Efusjon, and my guess is that Ivy's company Top Level Position (a reference to a high search engine ranking) was behind it.  But apparently Ivy was more involved with Pur3x than that.  On their Facebook page you will find photos of Ivy at a Pur3x function in Atlanta, posing alongside some hot models and the company's founder.  I'm thinking he was probably a distributor as well, as there's no need for the videographer to pose with the product and a horny looking chick.




It looks like Ivy was also involved in a lead generating mass mail operation called Super Sale Mail. It was included in an email address of his. http://www.peekyou.com/ivy_johnson/3583822  So we can see here that Ivy's background isn't in currency or investing.  Like so many others in the dinar world his background is in marketing.

Anyway, back to the Draper, Utah connection.  DINAR XLR8R was linked to Roger Dorman (Dinar Daddy) via The Currency Vault (now The Treasury Vault - also in Draper, Utah) as their supplier and via their technical contact Scott Sorenson (also in Draper, Utah) whom Roger once interviewed.  I'm not saying that Roger was involved in Pur3x or that he's connected to Ivy but there does seem to be a lot of dinar activity linked to Utah.  Roger's buddy Breitling lives one state over in Nevada and the MLM real estate group he promotes (REIC) is in Utah.  Also the BH Group sells Xango which is based in Utah.  

Here's an interesting article on MLM and Utah.  And here's what the state of Utah says about the dinar.  You have to wonder if there's a connection between the two?

LDHL

Back in Late April I awarded a Douchie to the BH Team in part based on their pumping of a penny stock called LDHL (LD Holdings).  I didn't think much more about it until the other day when I was listening to Breitling.  He did a video where he was doing a case study for his followers about stock picking.  Guess which stock he chose for this "case study"?  If you said LDHL you can probably see where this is going. 

In a recent conference call Brad Huebner announced that Tony "Breitling" Elder is on board with the LDHL investment and would be a part of their marketing team.  Did Breitling inform his followers of this fact?  Uh, no.  Musta slipped his mind, huh?   

Also in the video Breitling told his listeners to buy 250 shares (11:45 in) and that he thinks it will go up to $9.  I'm not a lawyer so I can't say if he violated any statutes here, but I would certainly think he's on shaky ground if he doesn't have the necessary certification for giving investment advice.

I looked around for information on LD Holdings and discovered the following.

A couple of months ago our friends at MrIQD reported an email from the BH Group pumping this penny stock.  They figure Brad and Co. might have run afoul of the law.

http://mriqd.com/2012/07/16/warning-bh-groups-newest-scheme-to-take-your-money-in-our-opinion/


They go on in this post to offer an assessment of the stock that is less than glowing, to say the least.

http://mriqd.com/2012/07/11/warning-bh-groups-claim-of-having-5-trillion-combined-iqd-is-false-a-con-in-our-opinion/



If you'll read through the comments on this forum you'll find references to "scam", "pump", and "dump".

http://investorshub.advfn.com/LD-Holdings-Inc-LDHL-4616/


Here's what Wikipedia says about "Pump and Dump".

"Pump and dump" is a form of microcap stock fraud that involves artificially inflating the price of an owned stock through false and misleading positive statements, in order to sell the cheaply purchased stock at a higher price. Once the operators of the scheme "dump" their overvalued shares, the price falls and investors lose their money.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_and_dump


If you'll click the link below you'll see a chart for LDHL.  Click on 6m to see the chart for the last six months and you'll see that the stock took off in late April, about the time the BH Group started telling people about this great opportunity.  Coincidence?  Possibly.  A couple of emails and conference calls later the stock went all the way up to $1 before plummeting back to the 20-30 cent range.  The day Breitling did his video about LDHL it was selling at $.24.  In less than a week it has spiked over 50% to close Wednesday at 38 cents.  Was there any news or fundamental reason for the stock to spike like that?  Enquiring minds want to know.
