8/19/22 Prelude to a Scam

[A Gay Retard]

Isn’t that the same as when an old penny turns green?

 

[Alex Krycek]

While there are possibly a few gems in there, it looks more like oxidization to me.

 

[Baguette Child]

None of that is worth dick for shit Thomas.

 

[Mariposa Electrique]

Tom is going to France next to buy invaluable smegma deposits found under tables inside gay bars.

 

[I raped a dog 2day]

I hope Tom gets monkeypox. Unfortunately, nobody wants to touch him so he’s probably safe.

I hear you can get it from infected dogs

 

[Tragi-Chan]

Isn’t this the guy who couldn’t tell gold from fool’s gold?

 

[Picnic_Boy]

Tom is sitting on a potential fortune in New Mexican gift shop trinket money.

 

[SofondaCox]

Surely even a strange fellow with a "copper mine" will perform a simple Google search before entering into a financial entanglement with a dangerous predator..

If you owned a successful copper mine and wanted to shift the entire focus of one part of your operation; would you bring in some completely unqualified rando from Facebook as a consultant?

 

[TurdFondler]

It's the old speakers sold from a van scam. One interesting deposit and he's gonna hook Tom on a Superfund site full of mine tailings.

 

[RazorBackBacon]

Nigger that's copper ore. He's selling you raw copper. He's got a pile of useless ore that's not rich enough to bother calcinating into workable metal and he's selling it to you for gemstone prices. This is the mining equivalent of a farmer selling old rope.

While there are possibly a few gems in there, it looks more like oxidization to me.

Technically carbonation, but yes very much the same idea.

Yes, and may he never forget it.

 

[ADN_VIII]

Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't copper ore worth jackshit unless you have tonnes of the stuff to refine?

$3.64 a pound currently. However it's worth more as a bar so you can turn it into something. It also only going to up in value if someone makes a new Olympic stadium. It's why Canada had to set new rules for security companies because people were stealing copper pipes from construction sites and selling it to scrappers who then sold it to China.

Don't electric vehicles require a fair amount of copper? I know there's been some talk here of re-opening old copper mines to meet that demand (even though copper mining is awful for the environment).

 

[DSP's Tax Lawyer]

The scam is almost complete

The scam is almost complete

There's only one way I see this ending:

 

[Sparkletor 2.0]

Tom must have met this mine owner at one of his fancy business meet-and-greets. You know, since he owns and operates his own multinational global gem mining conglomerate.

Seriously though, a mine owner? Dude, companies own mines. Individuals don't own mines that produce god knows how many tons of ore.

Where do you meet a mine owner? Obvious answer would be at a fancy mining related business party or something. Not in some random Facebook group. You seriously think that someone who had enough money to own a fucking copper mine spends his days trawling Facebook gem groups looking to make some spare change by selling scrap copper?

Hypothetical mine owner would have to have millions and millions of dollars worth of mining equipment. The average miner in the USA makes around $25/hr. To mine you have to buy the land and then purchase mining permits. There is a fortune invested in this hypothetical copper mine. And Tom is telling us that this guy who has millions and millions of dollars spends his free time trying to make a few bucks on the side?

This seems legit, Tom. Invest all your money. You already can't sell the rocks you currently own, why not buy a bunch more?

 

[TurdFondler]

Also a mine owner would never talk to Tom.

Like the fuckin CEO of a mine would somehow find himself by a shit creek in an old RV or in a Tucson homeless camp.
