Hi there, I am Larry Chiang–I had friends who were in credit card difficulty and decided to do something about it. I started collecting deep underground credit knowledge (duck) into a controversial site: www.Duck9.com. It breaks-down the mysterious FICO score and graduates people with a FICO in the 90th percentile.
SECRET: The key is to make the first 24 interactions with the FICO grid PERFECT… email me and I’ll send you the 101 secrets/tips or you can explore the secrets yourself by clicking on the ducks butt at duck9.
I wrote a book What They Don’t Teach You At Stanford Business School that comes out 09-09-09. In it I market the movie rights to the book as a case study. The case study is three strippers that start a peer to peer lending company called ProsperAss. My first book was (booo-oring) “Internet Marketing Secrets – Priva-Marketing and More”. I will never write without incorporating entertainment, scandal and sex.
One of my proudest achievements was to testify in Congress on behalf of the financial services industry. Congressman Tom Campbell also wrote the foreword for my book. I also testified before World Bank in Beijing
