How does the current financial crisis affect the Challenge funds?

Excellent post Ocelot,doubt it will stop The Professor's blatant attempt at smoke screens but at least it's down in print for all to see.

And has been dozens of times. This is just one of many avenues TP is sweating over to try to get himself an "out". His obfuscation about the challenge funds is incredibly transparent to everyone here. A pity he can't see that everyone else sees through it. Or maybe he can see it and that's why he's panicing so much.

You are correct ... The JREF MDC DOES look Pathetic :)

Then, a man like you should seek every opporunity to be taken seriously by scientists!

Even if (and this is a BIG IF) the JREF Million is unavailable, you would still earn all those other, coutless awards and sources of monetary income, if you passed the Challenge!

So, what else are you waiting for?!



Imagine: YOU being taken seriously by TOP scientists, all over the world.......
 
Oh I'll freely apologize, I have no doubt about that. Will you do the same if it's found out that it does, in fact, have more than a million dollars in it?

Here's the Deal .... If the JREF MDC proves to have dropped to below the Million Dollars, can I expect an apology from you .... or will you languish in your ignorance?

Will you MAN UP, or just sluff it off?

You stated this as somewhat of a challenge to those of us who did actually try and convince you otherwise. I helpfully accepted your challenge:

I'm still waiting on a response for this. Will you, er, "MAN UP" as you stated in a rather juvenile fashion?

If you are so concerned why not go through the list of worldwide challenges you were given the link to some time ago,apply to all them and you will have more than one million.
You signed a contract when you applied for MDC,GUARANTEEING you on emilllion dollars.Should you win.There is little chance of you winnning so I don't know your problem.
By the time you create a protocol the stock market will be blooming.

I have contacted the closest group from the list. They have not given me any information and for all I know they are simply a Sham also.

They have not returned my phone message and the JREF has not returned the call to confirm the funds. I wonder why?

You have not yet returned my message to confirm the wager. I wonder why?

I was just wondering, what happens to the prize money when the challenge ends?
 
Randi has explained that the donor has consented to the money being transferred to the JREF for use in new projects.
 
There used to be a link to the Pie Chart of the MDC funds. I can no longer find it. Does anyone know where it is?
I was hoping for an update.
 
egg on somebodies face??

Welcome back. Friendly advice: If you badly need an update on the funds now and then, send an e-mail to jref staff and stop derailing this thread.

By the way: How did things work out on halloween? Were there voices? Did you record anything? Were your writer friends there? Were Jim C and Uri there? Why don't you post anything on what happenened? Are you finally backing out of the challenge? Do you have a workable p.....l as you have earlier repeateadly stated, or was that a lie?If it wasn't a lie, why don't you post it in the appropriate thread?
 
I found the report no problem. Also as I'm sure you have been told if you want an update it had on the facts to send them a letter and they can send out a copy the latest statement.

How often does Goldman Sachs normally provide a statement for the MDC fund account? Monthly or quarterly? The most recent is dated August 31, 2008.

Considering the volume and complexity of many of Goldman Sachs' accounts (particularly this one, it is certainly nowhere near a straight bank deposit), quarterly by the calendar (not fiscal) year seems a fair deduction, if admittedly an unsupportable one.

I'll call Goldman Sachs in a little while and find out, I'm trying to kill some time and enjoy a nice lunch for a change. My waitress is cute. :)

Totally just called Goldman Sachs after cute waitress told me to quit staring and that she'd go out with me after work (!).

It seems client account statements are provided according to three main governing factors:

1) client preferences
2) market conditions
3) the team Goldman-Sachs has working upon the customer's account

She was specific upon the point that the client could call and request a statement any time they chose. However, for reasons well espoused, there is little reason for the JREF to do so.

~ Matt
 
But they were ASKED to do so.

Since only a JREF MDC applicant could receive the cash it is a pertinent question.
