Recently we were spreading our portfolio between different trades, and we put about 80% of our resources on BTC-E exchange. We also did take a huge hit by getting scammed by coinpayments.net while they closed our wallet without any notification, holding investor&#8217;s money. This night we just run out of the money&#8230; I&#8217;ve cashed out all the money from the markets (whatever was left) to cover all withdrawals, but demands were much higher than deposits coming in. And we have no money in the markets so we cannot make any profit now. We are sorry, but in this situation, we cannot do anything else but terminate FexFund.net. We understand that this leaves some investors on loss, which couldn&#8217;t get their ROI and we are sorry for that. But we were HYIP site after all, and our ToS was clear enough about the risk: &#8220;Each user must be aware that any investment in the Company carries an investment risk.&#8221; Congratulations for those which made three full 30-day cycles getting large income. We are very disappointed that our history ends like that, but we got the lesson out of it, and I hope we will meet in some future when BTC settles down, and markets will be much more stable. With respect George Soleos CEO of FexFund.net<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"hbc\"><\/a><strong>HYIP Battles #4 Cancelled!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As I indicated in the previous news item, I was starting to put the article together for <em>HYIP Battles #4<\/em> when I learned that one of the contestants died!\u00a0 So, FexFund vs. <a href=\"http:\/\/emilynews.com\/link.php?id=1127\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Castle-Inv<\/a> isn\u2019t going to happen!\u00a0 I suppose you could say that <a href=\"http:\/\/emilynews.com\/link.php?id=1127\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Castle-Inv<\/a> won by default (the way FexFund won the two Battles it participated in).\u00a0 However, since we didn\u2019t even publish a first part for this Battle, cancelling is probably the right way to go.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/emilynews.com\/link.php?id=1127\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/castle-inv.com\/images\/468.gif\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In these Battles, I try hard to match two programs that have a great deal of similarity &#8212; programs where the investor might have a hard time trying to decide which is the best place to put his hard-earned money.\u00a0 This is fun to do and sometimes we come up with some surprising results.\u00a0 Along that line, in case you\u2019ve forgotten, take a look at <em>HYIP Battles #2<\/em> (that you can read <a href=\"http:\/\/emilynews.com\/blog\/?p=1368\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>).\u00a0 I almost fainted as it became clear where the article was going.<\/p>\n<p>So, I guess I have to look for a new pair of contestants\u2026<\/p>\n<p>*********************************<\/p>\n<p>If one of the programs on our Monitor appeals to you, please support <em>Emily News<\/em> by registering for it on our website.
