Here's the thing ... with a 5-8% return, OP wasn't being greedy by investing his money.
Now if he had taken the 20% guaranteed option, I wouldn't feel sorry.
5-8% is easily obtained by anybody that knows what they're doing and if an established investor tells me they can do that and shows me authentic enough looking paperwork, he is getting my money.
Not all of it, but some of it, until he proves the returns. That's still the thing though ... sophisticated guys running a ponzi scheme are going to give you the returns you need until they get all of your cash.
