Re: How it made money is therefore a mystery...
THIS.
If I could get 52 millionaires per year to lend me $1,000,000 for a week each, set up sequentially, then I can continually earn interest on the money like I had a million dollars!
This is the way my credit union is able to offer me a free checking account... they make interest off of my direct deposit and money in the account.
If I can hold onto 1000 contractor's salaries ($2000 per week each) for a week at a time, then I essentially can pull down the interest on $2 million a year.
