Angels or devils?

SigEx Ventures was already a star a few years back. Two fellows noticed that something is suspicious here and here. They were offering a slice of the business if it would prove successfully. In case of bailing out before the deadline, the interns were to pay back $4000. What a greay way for SigEx Ventures to make money! Thanks to one of my readers for pointing it out, my initial understanding of the French webpage was faulty.

The funniest part is that one of the guys misunderstood the conception of evangelism as corporations define it and the miss he spoke to was unable to provide him an enlightening explanation.

Devils!
Try to warn naive Romanians and other Eastern Europeans! the Foundry is left with 4 tortured and abused PR fellows. The amount of verbal aggression and humiliation they are exposed to is scandalous. And do not fall for the shiny offers announcing the leadership/t program. it is paid 150 E/MONTH! I HAVE RECEIVED an offer myself. wnated to see how far they go, shamelessly. Black market labour, no contract, no real job afterwards, despite it is promissed "for the best of survivors" in one or other phantom company. I thought slavery had been abolished. But they should definitely be stopped.

You seem to have misunderstood what the articles you link to say. These people were offered a six-month training program during which they would supposedly work for no pay to build a business from scratch. If successful, they would supposedly be offered a position in said business (which would be wholly owned by SigEx). The $4000 they mention is the fee they would be charged if they left the training program before completion.
