They say the first million is the hardest.

While researching money laundering sites I came upon this banner ad:


433% after two hours. Wow. That's not bad. I wonder how long it would take make a million dollars given a small investment of, say, $1. Let's see.... multiply by 4.33, reinvest, carry the two divide by one hundred and there, that's it:

2 hours$4.33
4 hours$18.75
6 hours$81.18
8 hours$351.52
10 hours$1522.09
12 hours$6590.64
14 hours$28537.46
16 hours$123567.19
18 hours$535045.93
20 hours$2316748.89

Wow. 2.3 million dollars in 20 hours! I have a dollar to spend and 20 hours to spare, what could possibly go wrong? So I click the ad:

I guess they went out of business already. Sigh. I wish I had a better ending for you. Next time for sure.
