LT. IRIS LOCKE: "Exponential growth is honest math hired for dishonest work. Read the exponent and you can tell the day the curve eats its investors."
THE MISSING VALUES DOCKET // EPISODE 7 // THE EXPONENT SCHEME
Case file seven. The Golden Curve Fund promises money that doubles every month. On paper it does. Paper is patient. Depositors are not supposed to be.
PREVIOUSLY The Like Terms simplified two shells to one owner remitting to the Plumb Line monthly. Six strings.
THE CASE Promoter Jasper Webb sells a doubling fund whose growth is real only in the ledger exponent, paid from new deposits until the base runs out.
