Ghost buyers during nego? Is it a scam or a ploy? But you can be discovered

Every minute a sucker is born (PT Barnaum). Let us not be one

Audit firm shoots down P1.33 triliion super valuation of GH

In one of the nego on a property besides our property, it was frequently mentioned that a former good senator now a head of vast business empire and reputed to be the richest Filipinos (before his accounting shenigan was discovered by a regulatory body of a public corporation) that that guy was going to buy that property this December.    

This post mentioned to the one brokering the deal to stop talking to us if they are concluding the deal with the said good senator.  

Now we know that such former senator whose stocks are suspended from trading would have dearth of liquidity.   He built many parks, inflated the inventory price for the accounting hyper increase in valuation.  But we are not sure of the inflow of sales.  His retail outlets are said to be behind payments and paying suppliers in kinds:    inventories.  Could this be sign of liquidity  challenges? 

This post thought him to be the icon for entrepreneurship for a course being taught by the author (as prescribed in the syllabus) but eventually omitted him subsequently.  He used creative techniques crossing the line to further his business (married a rich wife, used political clout to learn of future highways and buying into the same or causing highways to pass into his landholdings -  that saved him billions in infrastructure; or having take outs in housing financing WHEN OTHERS GOT 0)  It was said that the cause of the demise of a govt  home financing was the multitude of ghost take outs.  

Can he enter, or will he enter into a deal now.?  

And now we were asking for updates if their sales has pushed through and they say it is a big 0. 

Did we see through the scam?  Or the good fmer senator scammed the public for superhigh valuation of his VL  stocks?

Was this strategy a wise move for the said land seller?  Did it not backfire on him?   Would he offer his land again to us?

Deception (scamming the enemy) a practice in military war strategy

 The biggest practitioner of scam are the military strategist and generals:

1.  Thisi was prescribed in the Sun Tzu's Art of War.:   appear able when unable, or appear unable when able.   Feign weakness when strong, and vice versa

2.  Hannibl surprised the Romans when his elephant army scaled the steep Alps mountain where is not expected to be appear.

3.  In WW 2, in counter offensive vs Germans, the Allied forces did the following:

   1.  Re assigned Gen Patton, supposed head of the counter offensive to other areas to fool the Germans that the invastion was elsewhere;

   2.  There were fake documents and beached officers who carried documents that the invastion was to be in Italy.  There were fake tanks and even ships that were made to make the Germans think that the invastion was to be elsewhere and not at Germany

   3.  In battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, the Japanese did not oppose the amphibious landing to lull the Americans into thinking that battle was light and that the islands resistance was weak.  Thereafter, the Japanese pincered the Americans into meat grander warfare.   War of attrition and severe fighting.

4.   In 1990, at Operation Desert Storm, battle at Iraq, the alliies feigned that the offensive would be at Kuwait, but in reality it would be at Bagdad HIghway   The US Airforce mangled the Iraqui battle equipment.  It was a carnage.  

   To t3rrorize the tank personnel, the Allies dropped speakers with play back of screaming jets and /or Apache helicopters so give the impression of relentless Allied attack.  

Feigning, deceiving the enemy to catch him offguard.  The magicians also deceive the audience by redirection and deceiption. 

Generals and magicians -  bunch of scammers
