I'm not. This is just people trying to acquire other people's money as efficiently as possible. Siphon off as much as you can and then disappear.

I'd say that's how farmers operate if they're new farmers. They will screw up their first year and start looking for help, asking other farmers for advice, etc - but these companies aren't a part of a community, they don't want to help each other, and when they run out of the investment money the first year, they just give up.
