No rumor, they used two test strips and came up with the same results both times......PREGNANT !

As I always say, deny everything and demand a blood test.

Not really. I have it on good inside information that the I.P.T. is........ PREGNANT.
Doug

If things still work the way I thought they did, it is the one on the receiving end of a particular act that get pregnant. I think the IPT is the FATHER!!;) ;)

Umm, I think KT is the (founding) father of the IPT. ;) :eek:

You can bet there were plenty of thank yous. So wrong of him (KT) to just make that crap up to suit his purpose. He is probably trying to convince himself that none of you deserve to be paid.

Boy, you sure got me on that one Watchez. I am just a shill for the IPT. I delete all of the negative posts about KT and Deno...

Mike

Uh...I think you missed a couple...

Or, trying to convince everyone else in the world why it WILL BE OKAY when HE DOESN"T PAY THEM THE FULL AMOUNT?!?!?

This, just in from The Elephant Man, " I am NOT the Father, I am a Human Being."

( and I'm not the father either............. that's two down )

This just in from Darth Vadar, "IPT, I am NOT the Father..."

(For those of you scoring at home, that makes three. Er...Four! That's it, four! 'Cause I'm not the father, either. I mean, I was out of town that week, anyway...)
 
too bad nobody here is an investigative journalist

the field of questions is high quality

as usual the people with the facts to answer the questions are unable to answer them directly.

The story is good people with hopes and dreams. Then the advertisers with the stories of truth and proof. And of course the shady character(s) who finances/promotes it all. And the questions unanswered and well-dodged.

Conclusion nothing is handed to anybody.

I ve never owned a business so if this isnt a dumb question, can someone tell me relative to

KT: There’s two ways to look at profit. There’s profit and there’s cash flow. When you write a proforma and have a sponsorship package that comes in at $1 million, that goes onto your books as revenue even though it hasn’t hit your account yet. And then you depreciate certain expenses over five years. You can look at it that way and say this is a very profitable business on a proforma basis.


What is wriiting a proforma?

Can you depreciate expenses? Isnt it assets or tangible goods that are depreciated? What would they be depreciating besides IT equipment and how would this help show a profit? Thanks

Nope. Yup. Office equipment, IT equipment, and original outlay for online streaming (If the online streaming resources can be an asset. Don't know how it was set up.), and depreciating assets, if I am correct, can only offset actual profits in order to reduce tax liability.

Keep in mind I am still taking business classes, so I could be wrong. Some verification on what I am right/wrong about above would be appreciated.

performa = expected revenue or forecast of revenue = expected performance of the business plan.

you don't depreciate expenses, you depreciate capital property. Depends on method used for depreciation, i.e., straight-line vs double declining, etc..

For me his comment about being thanked stands out the most and I can't stop thinking about it. I havne't been to any events but at the world straight pool where KT put in a guest appearance I saw many many players thank him. In addition Charlie actually thanked him over the mic and he got a large round of applause.

According to many reports most of the players couldn't contain their gratitude at the IPT events proper, amny overwhelmed by the money they had won.

Also I'm confused why would he insult his customers (players) IF he was planning on meeting them all in chicago? Just my opinion but it sounds like he's looking for somebody to blame why it all went "tits up" and he has no intention of seeing any of the players again. Hope I'm wrong but why would he say something like that?

:confused:

<---- please note avatar & wording above it.

Many of the remarks he made in that interview prompted said avatar. :mad:

:eek: WOW! I mean.. you really thought.. After all this.. That EVEN if Chicago went off, that he would actually show up? There are WAY too many fans who would drive to Chicago just to curse Kevin out for what he has done.

I might be wrong about the players not getting paid, but I will go on record right now as saying that even if Chicago happens, there is exactly 0% chance of Kevin Trudeau showing up. He'd get cursed out multiple times by fans who will drive there and pay an entrance fee just to yell at him face to face.

If it goes off, and he shows up, I would declare him the mother****** with the biggest balls in the world.

C'mon Russ, you think he could possibly stay away from the cameras? :rolleyes:

What difference does it make to you? I bet you can't make two balls in a row anyway.
Jay, I like the way you think and respond to this mess! :D Amazing stuff uh?... :eek:
 
jay helfert said:
You have to admire a man who can look you in the eye, and lie to you with a straight face. And tell a different story to everyone he talks to. Of course, how can he remember what he said yesterday. This is what happens to all liars. They forget who they told what to. They get caught up in their own web of deceit.

Mike at BD tripped him up several times, and KT tried to bob and weave around it. He sounded like a man who got caught, but wasn't ready to give it up yet. He may never. It will be one explanation after another, until he fades into the haze. This one time may be his undoing though.

Months ago, I verbalized my concerns about the IPT, KT, the Qualifiers and the much delayed Tour. Now I am thinking that this is one huge mis-step for Trudeau, that may ultimately lead to his downfall, incarceration and slide into obscurity. Where he rightfully belongs.
Salud! :D That means Cheers... :)
