Derek Bohlken’s 2nd letter
October 21, 2006
“The basic approach we will be taking is that very few people succeed in a real way on the internet. We know how to create duplication through team effort in a way that will help people create an income that will grow from month to month for years to come. This is in stark contrast to how everyone else on the internet builds. We know we can do it because we have done it in the past and will continue to do it.
Every single person who joins our group will be in a position to succeed if they are willing to work with the group and take regular action.
Another unique approach we will take is to offer as many ways as possible for people to build their business so that people can choose how they do it depending on their personal situation. A person from Indonesia cannot call people in the US. People who work two jobs cannot spend hours per day on the internet. Someone living on disability does not have the disposable income to invest a lot of money on advertising and leads. All of these people will be able to build in our team, and the people they enroll will have all of those options as well.
This is the home forum site for our marketing project. You will want to subscribe there as soon as possible. We will be posting meeting times, answers to questions, marketing advice and other support:
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/FollowOurLead/
Our meetings are there for anyone who needs it, but everyone is invited to contribute. There are literally thousands of ways to build the business but the main thing is that we are going to give people as many options as possible, so that everyone is put in the situation to succeed. The meeting schedule is on the front of the yahoo group, and this is it:
Meeting URL (will require a small download to access room):
http://www.hotconference.com/software/conference.php?id=87821142
Meeting Times:
Monday 10 pm EST US time
Thursday 1 pm EST US time
You will also find that the more you participate in the discussion in the yahoo group, the more you will benefit from it.
Even though our group and meetings are for support and training, it is actually a very good strategy to invite your prospects to the meeting and to subscribe to the yahoo group so they can get an idea of the level of support that is available. You will be very pleased with how many of your prospects do join the group and do attend meetings will eagerly join your business.
The duplicatable team site is under construction, but should be available this coming week. It won’t be a true duplicatable site in the sense that it will be all set up and that is by design. You will be able change your links in the html. We don’t want to force everyone to join all four businesses we recommend so by doing it this way, you can remove any part of it in which you are not going to participate. I recommend doing all four because it represents a complete marketing package for a low cost, but I don’t want to dictate that.
The foundation of what we are doing is the team support we will provide along with Leader’s Club and Empowerism. It will be completely possible to only join Leader’s Club. However, everything except Leader’s Club is very low cost and can provide very good incomes on their own.
My links (js’s) and explanation are below, but if you use this form letter to send to people, you can change the links to your links:
Nowhere will you find the depth and scope of training and very duplicatable methods of building a duplicatable mlm business. Along with Empowerism, it is the foundation of what we are doing and on its own can create a six figure income:
http://www.leadersclub.com/32218
Everything that Leaders Club does not provide, you can find via Empowerism. It is also only $20 per month but still provides an opportunity for an excellent opportunity. The services are more internet focused than those of Leader’s Club, but put together provide a complete package:
http://www.empowerism.com/e/205667
We are going to list GDI as a recommended addition and you will be able to remove it from your team site, but it is only $10 and is a way to host the duplicatable team site. It’s one of the most stable and easy to build businesses out there, and despite the cheap price, it can also provide a very good income. Also, after you join the yahoo group from above, read Heather Veitch’s 10/19 posting on the subject of the value of GDI:
http://website.ws/radiantjs
We use this autoresponder for the leads provided by Empowerism, but we will list it along with GDI as recommended and can be removed from your team site. It is only $10 and there are many autoresponders out there for around the same cost, but this one provides a good payplan with a forced matrix, and it offers a couple of other key advertising services that I already used, so it offers a very good value:
http://bringyourbuddy.net/?id=65496
One other thing:
I wanted to keep the total cost of our package to $100 or less per month, and I think we did that nicely, but the web conferencing in which we do our meetings offers a business opportunity with a $1 free trial for 30 days. It is also a forced matrix, and though it is not on the main site to control costs (it is 29.99 per month), I will recommend it to everyone I invite as a good marketing tool they can try for $1. As you can imagine, it would be a good idea to at least give it a try for 30 days. There are spots still close to me, and I think it may provide an income comparable to the other businesses without being part of the regular package. Here is the link:
http://www.hotconference.com/members/micronuts/onedollar.php
The overall appeal of our group, and people will want to work with us, is that they will be part of an already successful team built around duplication and empowering people to create residual income that will improve their quality of life. Because we are doing it this way as opposed to that vicious cycle of attracting people with false promises and dishonest powerline schemes, we will be able to feel very good about what we are doing and we will see a lot of people change their lives.

Paul, NFSG and the boggling issues
October 21, 2006
Paul with boggling issues:
“Hello everyone,
I have now completed all the returned deposits bar one guy who I am waiting bank info on to get their wire back over.
I have taken the decision to lock this forum as it is not serving a purpose other than for people to shout and vent, since I don’t have the time to come here and review things and actually answer questions it just spirals out of control.
If you have questions email me, better yet do as many have done already and call me as I just don’t have the time to come here and answer in person anymore.
The situation you have already all been made aware of and we have told you how we are going to combat this situation.
I have been speaking to a many people over the phone these last few days and one question that does come up quite a lot is how we can return the fund to 100% liquidity if it is only around 30% now as that will take a lot of effort to trade it back up.
And you would be correct, IF we were just trading it on its own. But we have not been. To increase the liquidity since this occured Ken and I have been putting our own money back into the pot obtained from the commission etc from the Managed Accounts along with our own trading account returns. This has personally cost us several hundred thousand already…..so it is quite frustrating when we have to do it all over again to boost it back up further.
It is a problem that will be resolved, not overnight, but it will get there because the additional amounts going into the account are NOT just from trading.
I have had literally hundreds and hundreds of emails saying that they are happy for us to do what is required to ensure the future life of the fund….and that IS my priortity.
Of course there are people who are not happy about the situation, and that is your right of course, but the situation is as it is because it is necessary right now and no matter how unpopular it makes us with some of you, we are still going to do it.
I am going to be honest and say that I have not had the time to read all the threads that were here, but several people have mentioned to me about the documentation concerning this event and providing proof.
We are currently getting all the case file together along with the Bank Statements. HOWEVER we are NOT going to be making these public.
The reason is this, other than making YOU certain that we are not just making this all up, what good will it actually do??……it won’t do anything, it won’t change anything, all it will do is prove we are not lying about it.
Under normal circumstances this would be more than enough, however I again have to think about the bigger picture. If we posted all the case information, a vast majority of you would read it and be satisfied. However there may be some amoung you who would want to take matters into your own hands and approach them directly yourself demanding your money back etc etc. If this were to happen then there would only be one result.
Ken would no doubt get into trouble and the pool fund as it stands right now would be instantly frozen and we would just clear the balances at this point to the level of the liquidity…..this is definately not something that we can allow to happen, especially when this is a problem that we are going to resolve.
This being said I can also see the need for you guys to know that we are not just making it all up in an elaborate plan to run off with the money. To this end we will be taking all the case files directly to some people offline.
One of the forum members here (Cralle & cs65) is actually from Denmark, and once Ken has Compiled the casefile and Bank Statements together he will be driving over to see him in person so that it can all be independently verified. Of course all the docs are in Danish, so it helps being able to read the language. We expect to get everything together sometime next week….but do NOT hold us to this as we need to wait on them providing us with all the details they are holding also.
There has also been some talk about allowing people to cash out now at the current level. This is something I have given some thought to, and right now I am not certain about it so I will give it more thought over the weekend. It is quite possible that we may do this, in a phased manner such as 10% per month or something like that….of course doing so would close your account down, but I will come back to that I think after this weekend.
That is really all I have to say to be honest, but I would be happy to speak with you should you have any questions.
I have outlined the problem, outlined how we are going to fix it and confirmed that we have the proof that we are not making it all up and are willing to disclose this independently so as to not make the situation worse.
Speak soon,
Paul”

“I do not enjoy writing letters like this, but it has to be done. I want to thank everyone for supporting PTSD and to let you know we never set out to take your money or close shop. A series of unfortunate events and scandel, have led to the premature closing, of PTSD.
I know most of you are wondering, what about my money? Most of the upgraded members have been in profit, because they had small upgrades and were paid daily. For those of you, that are not in profit, we will go thru the accounts and begin to refund, till the money is exhausted.
We have paid out almost every penny, that has come in, thru our daily payouts. We have not stolen any money and welcome anyone to call Alertpay to verify this. We are truly sorry and wish things could have been different.

Update from Paul and Ken, NFSG
October 21, 2006
NSFG, one of most popular program is in huge problems at the time. Lets hope for best, check the update:
“Hello Everyone,
What I am about to say I something that I had hoped we would avoid, however circumstances have dictated that we must take action now, and that action is not going to be popular for some of you.
I will start at the beginning, many of you may remember way back when we first started we were using ACM in Switzerland as the broker for our Pool Account, and then switched over to FXCM in February so we could run the Managed Accounts.
The problem started when we took our money out of ACM, because of their strict Anti Money Laundering Regulations the money had to be returned to the account which was on file held with them. The account in question at that time was our old Danish Corporate Account. The money withdrew from ACM without a problem, however as soon as it hit the Danish Account, the Danish Financial Authorities were all over it.
Ken was called in by the Ministry of Finance to prove what this money was, which we promptly did. However this did not satisfy them and they refused to release the money in the account to us for onward transportation. After taking legal advice it was clear that we were not going to be getting this money back and the Ministry of Finance went so far as to say that they are keeping this money so that they would not charge Kenneth with breaching Financial Law in Denmark for the handling of other people’s money. In short we had no option but to accept their token offer and move forward.
After this and following the deposit of all the money that was at the time held in E-gold and the Cyprus Bank Account we were at a position of being at 50% liquidity.
We had two options at this point, we could either immediately reduce everyone’s balance by 50% or trade back the difference through our own gains from trading to top the fund up. Obviously we choose the later.
We did in fact manage to successfully get the fund up to around 70-75% liquidity by putting our own money into the account from the trading returns…..and in hindsight it was here that we should have taken the measures that we now have no choice but to take. We did not however foresee the huge amount of withdrawals that would occur in the following months which have reduced us again to around 30% liquidity.
This is not a situation that can continue and to ensure that the fund remains liquid and here for the long term, we must take the following steps. These measures are probably not going to be popular with some of you, however they are required.
This is what we must do effective immediately.
1) Freeze all Balances as per the September Statements for the next 3 months
2) Suspend all Withdrawals – Pending and Future – for the next 3 months
3) Return all deposits made this month to their account of origin.
We are truly sorry if this does impact on you particularly if you have requested a withdraw in October, as the last thing that we wanted to do was cause people hardship. However we must do this for the long term stability of the fund for the coming years.
Many of you have already said to me that this is a necessary course of action and have understood the reasons for doing it. At the end of these three months we will be able to re-evaluate where we are again and look to move forward.
I would like to emphasize that if we do not take action now, then the entire fund could be in jeopardy of liquidizing over the course of a few months.
We are very truly sorry that we must do this, and are aware that this will tarnish our otherwise good reputation. The only good thing that we can say about this situation is that the trading has been good and we are not going anywhere, we have a substantial client base so we will get through this……we just wished we had jumped on it a little sooner than now!!
We are both very upset about having to do this, and aware that many of you will be disappointed in us getting to this position. I would like to thank many of you who are already aware of this and the understanding that you have shown.
This is costing us both personally a great deal of money as we have been depositing our own personal funds and trading commissions into the account to get the liquidity to a reasonable level, only for it to get back to this situation again. We however will continue to do this until this problem is resolved to the very best of our ability and use the coming months to get us back on track and moving forward.
In the years to come, this will just be a bump on the road, but it is one that we must cross now. After the 3 months have passed we will see where we are, until then Ken will continue to trade and we will be putting our own trading funds back into the fund to bolster it up.
I am sorry that I don’t have better news, and I am sorry if you have a pending withdrawal made this month.
Moving forward we had always planned to separate the Pool Account from Northsea more directly so that we could become FSA compliant and have already made investment into doing this. Over these three months we will further this goal so that the future will be far better for all and will keep you updated on the progress.
Yours,
Paul and Ken”
