Although I agree generally with all the points Vaj is making here about Sidhas and their unethical behaviour with get-rich-quick schemes, I would remind everyone that over 90% of ALL business ventures in the "real world" (i.e. non-meditating community) fail within the first 6 months of their existance. So businesses that "flop from the git-go" is NOT unusual; it is par for the course.
