Description:

Welcome to the GSA Shanghai Tontine!

You may ask, “What is a tontine?” Put simply, a tontine is an old-skool pension scheme that combines the properties of an annuity, life insurance, and a lottery. This is how it works – each investor pays a sum into the tontine. The funds are then invested and each investor receives dividends for their lifetime. As each investor dies, his or her share is then divided among the surviving investors. This process continues until the last investor standing inherits the entire sum of the fund.

In lieu of each GSA Shanghai member investing their own funds, the Godfather, Don Samuelson, has generously offered to provide the startup funds for each participant in the tontine. In the future, Don Samuelson may ask you to repay this favor. As a sign of respect, you would be wise to repay said favor.

I understand that many of you are ambitious investors and will try to maximize your investment. Perhaps other participants may need to be “cashed-out” of the tontine so that your fortunes are realized? I leave it to you to determine how to best become the lone survivor and inherit the fortune of the tontine!

For the historically minded, you may go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tontine to read more about tontines.

Why I am so lucky? Allen was in the Max’s cubic and I used Wu Yu’s tbs as the weapon to kill him. What a pity! Allen was dead….
