The Leopard Fund: We invest in exchange traded derivatives*

At the beginning of December FeederFund presented to it's investors a new associated program - The Leopard Fund. Matt, the admin of MJE Sales (the company behind that investment opportunity) was kind to answer our questions in order to clarify the concerns and satisfy the investor's demand of further information about the fund. The interview below is publiushed without change.

1. Why you got listed in FeederFund? Did they contact you to add your fund or you contacted them to be added? By what I can read in your site, the opportunity is limited and you want to work only with "invited" investors. Then why do you need that extra publicity?

As a recognized “Reg. D” offering pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission regulatory requirements, Leopard Fund is generally promoting its
opportunity to various qualified audiences. Having discovered the Feeder Fund member association we contacted Feeder Fund in the hope of disseminating our information to appropriate and interested lenders through the Feeder Fund. Moreover, we were favorably impressed with the Feeder Fund administration and both entities decided it would be a mutually beneficial
relationship for our respective companies to have the Leopard Fund listed among the Feeder Fund opportunities.

As to any “limitation,” the Leopard Fund has specific capitalization targets we are currently working to achieve. When these targets are reached we will
reassess our objectives and policies and decide on a prudent course of development taking into consideration our lender base, current capitalization and other available opportunities. Our capitalization
requirements could in theory be satisfied by a single investor at any time.
When that occurs we will close the Leopard Fund opportunity to all new lenders. Lenders who have funds on account shall have ongoing lender privileges until such time as the Leopard Fund is terminated and all
principal funds on lo

an plus any accrued interest are distributed back to the lenders. Should new or other opportunities develop at that time, which we are confident shall be the case, we may continue to seek ongoing lender relationships and membership or otherwise share those opportunities with our current Lender relationships.


2. Why do you have a folder in TalkGold forum? A big deal of programs listed there are ponzis which are looking to attract more investors. Are you looking to attract more investors as well?

While we understand that there are less than reputable “programs” posted at the talkgold forum, there are nonetheless many valid and interested lenders,
sophisticated/accredited or otherwise, who visit that site and would benefit from a valid program like the Leopard Fund. This may, at first blush, be more to talkgold’s credit than our own as the Leopard Fund is a legitimate, reputable, opportunity far more credible and forthcoming than the preponderance of other unmentionable “programs” posted there. Moreover, it
was not our own doing that began the seminal broadcasting of the Leopard Fund opportunity on that site. In fact it took less than 24 hours for our
initial offering to be posted at talkgold.com. We were sadly and immediately savaged and bafooned as just another “Ponzie” without the benefit of credible critical analysis, much less the due process of a single defiled lender demonstrating a scintilla of evidence of any purported loss.
Subsequently, perhaps more as a limited means of a defensive posture, we acquired an ad there approximately a month ago. Once the ad was up we
entered a post to encourage people to communicate with us any questions they may have about our opportunity.


3. Have you run the MJE Invest program? What happened to it? How were you able to pay 25% monthly ROI? Isn't this way too high for a real business?

Yes, we conduct a program called MJE Invest, it is currently closed to new lenders as its financial targets were quickly met. MJE Invest was a precursor to the Leopard Fund opportunity. The stated monthly returns of 25% per month are in fact sustainable over the long term, when averaged on annualized returns, albeit, we have not been able to sustain those returns
in the short term.

It should be noted that the Leopard Fund is a very different opportunity from the MJE Invest program. Leopard Fund shall pay out interest every month, on time, like clockwork. The MJE Invest program was geared to pay out when trading results produced profit with a cap on returns of 25% per month. Thus, if no trades were made or the trades were flat as to profit the
monthly return is 0%. When the MJE Invest program was launched we extrapolated recent returns from our trader which were not met in the near term. We miscalculated that we could pay every month in the near term. This
caused some missed expectations and disappointment. However, anyone who is disappointed in the MJE Invest program may readily convert their capital funds on loan to the Leopard Fund and receive monthly interest without interruption, although we can not provide any back interest for those who wish to convert their loan funds.


4. What exactly does The Leopard Fund invest in? Is it true that part of the funds will be invested in MJE Sales venture?

The Leopard Fund invests strictly in exchange traded derivatives. Our trading partners have developed a sophisticated, patentable algorithm that allows for precision execution on such trades.

No funds on loan to the Leopard Fund shall ever be placed in any venture that is less secure than the proven results of our trading partners exercising their highly disciplined and secure trading techniques. These
proven trading results showed substantial returns, more than sufficient to pay out the Leopard Fund requirements, each year, over the last seven years,
including the recent down years of the “dot com bomb.” This does not, per se, guarantee there can never be a loss on any give

n trade, nor that there will always be a profit from every trade. The funds on loan are not used for simple stock acquisition, forex trading, seed capital, real estate, or any other standard form of investment.


5. How are you able to guarantee the principal? Is this risk free investment?

As stated, our trading partners have never had a down year in the past seven years, moreover, there has never been a month in the past 5 years that the Leopard Fund would not have been able to meet the 5% monthly interest return. As a result, we comfortable providing a guarantee on principle.
Please note however, in the investment world there is no such thing as risk free “investment.” Even an FDIC insured savings account has some articulable risk. That risk is the theoretical bankruptcy of the US treasury, and that you earn less return on your money than you otherwise could by placing it in some other opportunity.


6. In Feederfund's review we read and your site "The track record on these returns has remained consistent over the past decade". How can one verify that? Was your fund offline these years? Was it accepting investors?

The track record of our trading partners has remained consistently positive for over five years of annualized returns. The Leopard Fund was inaugurated in September 2005, we have not missed a single interest payment to date and we are confident we will not ever miss a 5% monthly distribution. The track record of our trading partners has been reviewed by the Feeder Fund administration under nondisclosure/confidentiality agreements. Our trader’s track record is private, confidential and proprietary information and the
Leopard Fund shall not release that information it to anyone unworthy.


7. Do you have any fixed limits on the total amount of funds or investors you plan to attract?

Yes. As stated, we have fixed capitalization goals and do not intend a fund with many thousands of lender/members. Leopard Fund shall accept a only a limited number of people and we anticipate raising the minimum loan value over time. This will help ensure that we can provide the best possible customer support while offering the best possible opportunity during the
window of time the Leopard Fund is generally open to receive lenders.


8. If your investment are risk-free why don't you acquire a bank loan on angel's funds? Why do you need to accept online investors?

The Leopard Fund is currently, and actively, engaging qualified lenders by all available media. We do not need online investors per se, however, we freely acknowledge that the Internet is a viable, dynamic source to find accredited investors looking to place funds. Many of our current lenders were not identified through the internet.


9. Is your address in Las Vegas a real address or this is a PO Box only? Can someone come and visit you? Is there an office of the fund or MJE Sales company?

The address in Las Vegas is a “real” address in a normal office building.
Anyone is invited to stop by and visit, albeit, we may not be there to greet you personally. The Nevada corporate structure was not established for
convenience or because we like to gamble. In fact we spend very little time in Nevada and generally go there only for formal corporate requirements.
Our corporate structure was established for well known corporate legal advantages such as asset protection and tax advantages. The principals of Leopard Fund are nonetheless available via conference call and or a personal meeting with any qualified or accredited investor on a case by case basis depending on interest.


10. Why don't you get SensaTrust approved? This would take off the most user's concerns.

We have reviewed the SensaTrust website and are not persuaded by their services at this time.

Hi Clifton, Well I am not sure if they are discovered as being the biggest scammers on earth but they do have 60K of my money in. I was just reading about scammers yesterday and that it's exactly how the guy did it too. I don't think i will ever see my money back but at least i am hoping to see them in jail. I know the guy who was behind all this. He is a lawyer. His name is David B. Prince. They have a different site now http://www.dawnstaralliance.com/. I am hoping I will find enough people to listen to my story and also maybe I can find more people that have money into the fund like I do. I will try my best to get to talk to radio stations or TV stations about this. I will talk to anybody, just to expose them and to make sure they don't get away.

Ah, 60K, that is really awful! Since they were registered with SEC can't you take your money back? So this is another FeederFund approved scam :(

The problem is that I was reading your comments yesterday and I have no clue what SEC or FF was, or what they do. I had to read about FF. I guess I have to understand and read about SEC too. I actually have 20K and my friend has 40K in the fund. I am not familiar with the law here, I am a foreigner which makes it worst I guess. He keeps on saying we will get our money back. But when?? It's already one year since we didn't get anything. If there is anybody out there that has a better ideea in what I can do I will be verry happy to listen.

FeederFund was a just an online investment fund which endorsed many scams. But an year-two ago most of us believed they were honest and knowledgeable. As for SEC, you can check here: http://www.sec.gov/ I really hope you'll get your money back. For sure the Leopard Fund was not anonymous, so they couldn't be able to run away so easy.

Thank you, Clifton. Who knows! Everything was fake about them. The adresses that they had were fake, they paid a fee to have them. He lives in Saratoga, the adresses were in Las Vegas, Sacramento and God knows what else. I will post later something about them that I found a while back. I guess he was stopped in Arizona by court to advertize his fund.

I am sure there are a lot of other investors in this scam, Cecilia. Let's see if someone will appear here in the next few days - if not, you'll probably find others on forums like TalkGold.

I can't thank you enough for all your help. It pisses me off, I am a good person, I worked so hard for my money. Those money were all my savings. My friend that put 40K refinanced her house because he talked her into it and now she is losing her house. People like that shouldn't be walking on the streets, they should be in jail. It blows my mind why a lawyer would do such things. I would never trust anybody to give my savings but he was so smart, he gained my trust first. Now he said that I am dammer than a bag of hair. :) You know what, it doesn't even bother me, because I should have never trusted him. I will post something on the other forum to see if anybody has the guts to talk about it.

Hi Clif, Guess what, I've posted on talkgold, I don't have much succes there, but somebody that knows David B. Prince saw the posts between me and you and called me last night. I don't trust anybody anymore. Something good came up, there is a lawyer that is willing to help me and my friend out. I guess they know who you are up there. :)

Hi Cecilia, I forgot to tell you it's probably better to post in a Feederfund thread. But it's nice to hear you have some progress. Please keep me updated and if I can help with something, I am always here

Thank's Cliff. There are saying that's a private group now, they don't take anybody new. I don't know much about this but those guys are going down rapidly too. :) I can't believe how many people are getting ripped off, my gosh!! So, are you a publisher? Maybe you can help me by writing about my story.

clifton at Jul, 23 '07 15:36
Yes, Cecilia, I think we can publish your story (although we already did it in comments here). But if you think we can expand it, let's try
