(2) you still don't give money to someone from a different country who merely promises to give you more money in return.

Actually, that is quite common. Perhaps not just "a person" but buying shares in a company or putting money on a foreign bank account isn't that weird. And those do promise you more money in return. Not by there margins, but still.... Same principle could be applied.

But your way of thinking you would say that it would be ok to have a bank, and get people to bring their money there, and then after say a year or so (when you got quite a lot of costumers) close the shit down and say: Sorry man, you where so stupid to put your money in someone else's hands...

That wouldn't be right now would it? But that is basically what this is. They just fancy it up so that people are more inclined to find out more about this (in the hope that it is actually true). This is caused by the same disease you seem to have. It's called greed.

There are clear differences between investments and "quick cash" schemes, and you know that. Corporations and banks are registered entities, and they're known, if not well-known.

Yes, I would say that. Anything that promises you money by spending money DOES have an inherent risk to it. Bank accounts are low risk, low reward situations, and stocks are generally high risk, high reward. If you were scammed by a bank, it is your fault if you have no fail-safes to getting your money back. I would laugh at someone who would put money into a bank that they could not verify as legitimate. It's just a very stupid thing to do, and anyone willing to go into something without a fail-safe is an idiot and deserves what they get. Sometimes you have to learn the hard way. I do, all of the time, and I never consider myself a victim.

whoa.
