You can't go wrong with bricks & mortar...
The Independent: Dubai property scandal claim emerges amid media blackout
"A major property development firm with links to the ruling family of the UAE city-state, and the firm’s marketing agency, are accused by investors, many of whom are UK citizens, of obtaining millions of pounds through the use of false construction photographs."

Here we go again, another scam.

We need a great company lawyer!

These people had the mentality that allowed them to buy into a massive bubble. If not this, they would have lost their money in tulips, or whatever is next on the list.

3. nubbers ...Gold? It seems that few things are safe when free markets are being tampered with by an endless supply of hot money in questionable hands.
