Company Bonner Advertising
Some of Bonner's company advertisements claim that by investing $ 10,000 a person can quickly earn over $ 600,000.
In June 2016, Bill Bonner, through his company, Agora, Inc., paid advertising on Reuters describing a new law that would not allow Americans to withdraw money from their US accounts. The advertisement reads: "The Collapse of New Laws on the Right to Use Cash The Americans report the problem of taking their own money from US banks." This ad displays a picture of President Barack Obama. The ads have been described as deceptive, as it does not cite the referring law, whose laws are aimed at Americans transferring their assets to foreign banks to avoid paying taxes. This Act is the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA).
In his two financial books, as well as in The Daily Reckoning, Bonner argues that the financial future of the United States is in jeopardy due to various economic and demographic trends, not the least of which is America's large trade deficit. He claimed that the exploitation of American foreign policy was tantamount to imperial formation, and that the cost of maintaining such an empire could accelerate America's eventual decline. Bonner argues in his recent book that mass and mass delusions are part of the human condition.
Bonner warned in 2015 that the credit system, which has been an important base of the US economy since the 1950s, is bound to fail, leading to the failure of a failed banking system.

Yelp's review of Agora Financial
Every Agora Financial reviewer in Yelp has rated one star out of these five companies. Comments include:
The main marketing method is PROSPECT PRICE. This company has contacted me 34 times since 26 June. I never made contact with them or asked them to contact me. To their credit, they have successfully achieved a solid 2 star Google review (based on 28 reviews). One client even gave them a 5-star review because Agora returned the money when she told them they were charging her for an unsigned bulletin.
the worst company I've worked on for 70 years. I ask questions that should be easy to answer because it is their business. No answer. I was flooded with ads to buy more publications after it was stated that I was a lifelong member for all their information. True, their parent company sent me more information, but on the same subject I thought I had already bought. I get so many emails to buy other things I can not read and sort them to see what they get before I get another. I am too busy for their BS grabbing ads.

SCAM ALERT: Beware of Bill Bonner Bogus Bulletin by San Diego Consumers Action Network
The San Diego Consumers Action Network has a number of memorial articles on many of Bill Bonner's publications.
You may have never heard of Bill Bonner, but you have heard of many of his publications and newsletters littering the Internet: Agora Financial, Sense Publishing, Insider Strategy Group, Laissez Faire Books, Money Map Press, NewMarket Health, OmniVista Health, Travel Opportunities, Institutions Natural Healing, Oxford Club, Stansberry & amp; Linking Investment Research, The Daily Reckoning, Banyan Hill. These are all variations of investment schemes that promote expensive and risky investment propositions. Here are some common sense suggestions: avoid these "financial advisers." Before you give your hard-earned money to one of these bulletins, we encourage you to get to know Bill Bonner.
We have written blogs on certain publications: Stansberry, Palm Beach Newsletter, and Laissez Faire. They are all very inappropriate and share a bias against heavy Internet marketing, rough email practices and scolded seniors who are looking for higher returns on their investment. They put frightening tactics but did not propose solutions to the people who benefited the most from real help. They have openly supported Donald Trump and rely on a very clear ad-hominem attack on Barack Obama - mostly unfounded. In fact, Bill Bonner wrote an article in which he said Trump would truly be one of the greatest presidents ever. This publication offers a major investment policy based on the belief that the United States government makes it extremely difficult for people to act as "sovereign" over themselves, with all the taxes they push on people and regulations on investments.
They have taken millions of dollars from consumers by selling "biblical" cancer drugs and fear of the destruction of the apocalyptic market. They mainly target the elderly, many of whom are particularly vulnerable to scare mongering. Are they scams? Maybe, but they are doing well. Bonner admits well before Donald Trump that paranoid populism can be sold with prestige ornaments.
