A devious person could make more accounts just before it paid out. Too easy to manipulate.

True, but I don't think it would be that easy. Since the the top person has 6.5mil which would 26 new accounts to match him, and thats only the top person. Not only is that a lot of work, but I think the people at ppx would notice 26plus accounts popping up in one night.

By their own admission, they don't have many people to moderate this place. That combined with the fact that as Milkweed pointed out, a devious person could easily manipulate the prop with a high powered laptop and a few lines of code, makes this a bad prop.

Keep thinking though.

Peace through kinetic solutions

New federal figures released on May 14th show that 16% of households use only a cellphone; completely foregoing a landline telephone. I think that we could make an IPO betting that 20% of households will only use cellphones in 2008. It can payout as soon as the data is released.

One new on could be will the U.S institute universal health care when the new president is sworn in like late 09 or so
