My POT of gold cracked.

This is no good. My crabby sense is tinkling like mad.

My POT of gold is cracked if not broken. PO-Trading (Profit-Optimization Trading) hasn't been paying coming to a week now.

They survived the DDoS attack earlier and are supposingly taking preventive actions. It's passed the deadline (13 Jul 2005 = 11 Jul 2005 + 2 days - See email extract below) and still no news from the admin or support. The last I heard from them is an email on 11 Jul 2005:

Dear Members,

I would like to inform you that we have completed the first stage of tests on our new anti-DDoS equipment and our website is available via HTTP at http://202.157.175.175

We will need 2 days more to finalize the setup of the equipment. After that our server will be available at http://www.po-trading.com

Now you can visit our website at a very good speed at http://202.157.175.175

Thank you for your trust.

With respect,
Michael Swafford,
Po-Trading Head Manager.

The links draw blank or don't work. The only one I found working is the forum: http://202.157.180.114/forum/index.php. This does no good 'cos the last update there by the admin is 8 Jul 2005, even earlier than the email above.

I've been with this program pretty much from its start back in Mar 2005. I was still green then - as if I'm seasoned ;-) now - in the HYIP play field. I fell in love with PO-Trading the moment I got into its member area. Didn't hestitate too much to plunge in my $.

And now...

My PO-T of gold is cracked.

I'll give it another week to declare it broken for sentimental sake.

Oh, don't worry about me. I've already gotten my initial spend plus some. It's just kind of sad to see a beloved old friend gone.
