Indeed, the post number in the HITT complaint is incorrect. The correct number (which matches with the exhibit text) is post 1629: #reply-9808150.

Well, Mayor, you've heard of Carlo Ponzi. This is a classic pyramid scheme. Not all (in my opinion unfortunately) are illegal, but many are.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens.


Note that even though Janice called HITT a pyramid scheme, she clearly didn't say she thought what they were doing was illegal, but, rather, we'd have to wait and see. Yes, how this constitutes "evidence" baffles me as well.
