New US pilot - Leverage

[teflon]

So it's pilot season in America and all the new shows get leaked onto the interweb, deliberately I assume so they can gague public reaction to them.
Leverage is the American version of the BBC's successful show 'Hustle' about a bunch of grifters who only steal from bad people. The pilot is actually very good indeed, I enjoyed it a lot and it's a dead cert to get a series.
If you like Hustle and it's sort of slick pastiche style with plot twists that seem to dig themselves out of 6ft holes, then you will like this too. There are 2 attractive females in it and no doubt the men were chosen for being sexy to women as well. It's going to be a hit I am sure and will find it's way over here on some crappy channel like Fiver.
If you don't want to wait that long, check it out on the interweb eztv.it or countless other sources like mininova etc, you know where to look.

Leverage.

Haha, leverage aka multiplier in forex trade that forex scammers use to convince gullible people to believe that you can do 100s of percents annual profit in forex. Actually they pay the 'profits' from the money they get frompeople joining later in the program. Also very often you have to invest the money in for months before you get your first pay out.

Search WinCapita, a Finnish forex-pyramid-ponzi-scheme. The guy who started it is hiding somewhere in South America at the moment. His name is Hannu Kailajärvi, other scammers in it were Risto Sakari Hentunen and Timo Martiskainen, also a former finnish 'weather man' Toni Kontiomaa had an 'investment service' that he used to promote this scam. Matti Kärsämä used to be involved in it, his current scam is Global Pension Plan.

I hope they'd do a forex scam episode to it so people could learn how they are lead to believe in stupid profit promises.
