Hi everyone! I am very pleased to have the following interview with Kevin, The admin of EdwardBrownInvestments .. Before hearing from Kevin let me just give a quick reminder that EdwardBrownInvestments is a long term low rate of interest HYIP and basically it just offers the one investment plan with the rate of interest depending on how much you deposit. The plan itself runs for 180 business days and the daily interest is vary from 1.2% to 2%. For a fuller description please first check out my review published here.

1- Hello Kevin, Thank you for taking the time to allow me to interview you. Please introduce yourself to my blog readers. Do you have any previous experience in running an HYIP or other sites?

Hello Nader! My name is Kevin Stevens, the CEO of EBI. This is my first online investment program, however I have experience in the real-world offline investment industry. (Not as a fund owner, but an employee.)

2- Please tell us a bit about your job at EdwardBrownInvestments. Are you working alone or do you have a business partner or assistant?

EBI is managed by a team of individuals. I am the CEO, my partner Sonny Greco is more of a silent-partner (like, funding the programs advertising budget, hosting costs, etc), and we are working closely with Mandy Brown, who was the wife of Edward.

Michael Scott used to work with us as customer service, but he stole the money out of the advertising account that was allocated to him, so we had to let him go. Now it is EBI’s signature to have all customer support handled by the CEO (me), until we find a new representative.

There are also some other employees, but they are just behind the scenes. (See here: http://www.edwardbrowninvestments.com/?a=cust&page=aboutus)

3- EdwardBrownInvestments has a long controversial story, Can you tell us a bit about this story since the program launched on November 2008 until now?

Well, the history of EBI is a long story. Let’s start off with the beginning. On November 12, 2008, long time internet-marketer Edward Brown opened up his HYIP “Edward Brown Investments” on free hosting, with a free domain. His idea was to invest in other HYIPs. Since he had no prior experience trading, this was the only option. (Fun Fact: Edward didn’t hire monitors at this point in time. His words exactly, “I don’t believe in them”. )

Soon after the program was officially online, Edward met his soon-to-be-best-online-friend-and-business-partner, Rev. William Roma. Roma introduced him to HIS business partner, Rev. Dr. Laremy Wade. Laremy wade was a forex trader, and Edward decided to let him trade with the members funds.

With Laremy behind the wheel, EBI flew into a success. People were investing everywhere, the buzz was crazy, and Edward was happy. But, Laremy Wade decided that the forex profits weren’t enough for him, so he started to gamble away the members funds on Liberty Reserve “Head/Tail” games. He lost nearly everything.

At this point in time, both William and Edward still thought that the funds were being traded legitimately, and that their 0.25% personal daily profit was coming from forex trading.

Around the middle of June, 2009, Edward was found dead in his own home by his wife. Cause of death: Strangulation. Was this a murder by a jealous friend? Or was it suicide from the stress? The case is still not solved, however the prime suspect, Aragon Alexander, remains innocent.

Edward left the entire business to William Roma, in his will, so William took it over. 2 weeks later, EBI stopped paying. It all hit the fan at ones. The current script provider went out of business, and the script didn’t work anymore. Laremy lost the members funds. It appeared to be game over.

Monitors moved EBI to the scam section. The TalkGold forum came out and cheered that EBI was gone.

A few months later, I came in and bought the business. (Kevin Stevens, partner Sonny Greco.)

And in early March of 2010, EBI was officially re-launched. Brand new website, and now LR PM SP and AP accepted, instant LR withdrawals, and a customized forex trading robot to handle members funds.

And that is basically the history of EBI. Go ahead, you can wake up now… the boring part is over.

4- What are the plans you are offering your members? How did you come up with these plans?

The forex robot was in testing the entire time EBI was offline, which was basically the summer of 2009. Over that period of time, we calculated some investment plans that would work for both the members benefit and our benefit.

The plans last for 180 business days, and pay 1.2% daily to 2.0% daily depending on how much you invest. The robot generates between 2.0% and 3.0% per day, five days a week. (Great days can get as high as 5.0%, not that often though.) There is also a stop-loss on the robot at 0.1%.

5- Are the rates of interest you offer realistic? How long do you think it can be sustained?

Yes. For as long as we wish. There is no reason for the robot to fail, therefore there is no reason for EBI to fail. Members data has been backed up, site is backed up, members capital is guaranteed by SKR’s and Low-ROI offline investments.

6- Can you tell us a bit about how do you earn money for your program? What platform you use? What profits you expect to receive daily to make your program sustainable in the long run?

I just explained that above basically, but to answer the other question we are using the B-Trader online trading platform, and the robot is using MT5.

The EBI team receives profits on our own personal investments, plus the profit on members investments, which can be anywhere from (-1%) per day to 4% per day.

7- What payment processors do you accept? Do you plan to expand this list in the near future?

We are accepting LR PM AP and SP. We plan to add GDP and STP in the future, as well as bank wire once we are offshore.

8- I know that payouts to LibertyReserve are processed instantly but what about payouts to the other payment processors?

Our payment processor accounts have been hacked already due to the LR API, and we lost a few bucks. So we decided to create a separate LR account for instant payments that won’t have more than $50 or $100 in it at any given time. This is the account that you are getting paid instantly from.

As you know, it is harder to get AP and SP accounts, so we only have one account there. For AP SP and PM, we pay manually, within 6-24 hours, usually sooner if it is in the daytime.

LR is still, and probably always will be, processed instantly.

9- What about the security of the EdwardBrownInvestments website? What steps have you taken to protect both yourself and members from malicious hackers and DDoS attacks?

We are hosted on DdoSWiz.

10- Tell us as well about your hosting provider and your script. Who are they supplied by and how highly would you rate them in terms of the quality of the product they provide and the after sales support?

No Comment…

11- What can you tell us about the success of the program overall so far? Are you pleased with the level of growth to date? Can you give us any statistics on the amount of active members and the total amount deposited/withdrawn?

I am very pleased with EBI’s growth these past two months. I consider EBI a family, and I personally greet every new member with a personal email. (Usually, lol)… The deposits and withdrawals are a private amount, unlike the old EBI, where Edward shared the personal information with everyone, LOL!

12- What kind of customer support do you offer to members? What are the most effective ways of getting in contact with you if I have questions or problems?

I was hoping that you would ask that!! We have email support, of course, as well as LIVE CHAT, a Post office box where you can mail us things, and a phone number that you can call anytime of the day. (+1-305-775-4849… you will be speaking to Morgan Brown.)

13- What would you say to a potential member of EdwardBrownInvestments? Why choose you over the hundreds of other programs?

Let me correct you. “Why choose you over the hundreds of programs?” And you just answered yourself. Other people are just “programs”… they will be gone in a few weeks, months, etc. EBI will not though… we are hear to stay. You just have to learn to hear honesty… and that is what Edward Brown Investments is.

Every scammer says the same thing, but this time, you have to believe it. Just try EBI out, you will love what you see. At EBI the same level of kindness and support is given to the $25 investor, as it is to the $50,000 investor.

14- And finally is there anything else you wish to say that was not touched on by my questions? Thanks for providing me with this interview.

Just invest with EBI! What else can I say?

Oh also, I freaking love your website… if your website was a object in real life, I would steal it. Great work!!

Thanks a lot to Kevin for taking the time to answer my questions. and let me wish him and all the members of EdwardBrownInvestments the very best of luck with their investments. That’s all for today guys. Please make sure to check back tomorrow for more news and updates.
