Full Background

Bonded

A very friendly looking platypus. He told you the story of how the Treasure Island investment project made him rich, and enthusiastically invited you to participate in his current plan to raise capital. The way he describes it, it is the key to untold wealth. According to Perry, because platypuses have a sense of electroreception, he grew up with an excellent understanding of electronics, of which he found the emerging computer technology the most fascinating. Just before graduating from high school, he participated in a computer competition with some friends, and won first prize, which earned him a place at a prestigious university. Perry was happy to get the place but was also troubled, as the tuition fees were very high, far more than his family could afford. His parents sold their tailoring store, but this just barely covered two years of tuition. It was nowhere near enough to last until Perry could finish his studies. Perry worked four jobs after school ate only one meal a day, and did not go to any parties or nights out. His classmates gradually came to view him as a misfit and a weirdo, but despite his sacrifice, the money he earned barely made a dent in his tuition fees. During the summer of his sophomore year, he almost dropped out, but luckily one of the friends who was in the competition with him got in touch and told him about a job that paid good money. It was a contract to build a website for a financial institution. The website required complex buying and selling features, but it was a walk in the park for Perry. He only took half of the summer vacation to finish the job and earned enough money to pay for a whole year's tuition. However, if something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Six months later, the police arrived at his door. It turned out that the so-called "financial institution" that hired Perry to build the website was actually a scam company that had cheated countless victims out of their savings through a Ponzi scheme, and the website Perry created was the main tool in their scam. Although Perry claimed to have no knowledge of the company's activities, he was still found guilty for the role he played. Despite everything, Perry was a top student at a prestigious university and possessed a wealth of life experience, so the injustice did not break him. On the contrary, he drew inspiration from it. He ridiculed the scammers as stupid and short-sighted, and thought that if he could harness the power of the Internet and finance, then the world of the future would be his. The best proof of this is Treasure Island. Using the artificial intelligence system that he developed, he selected the most profitable of the world's financial products and made a fortune! Now he just wants to make more money and use it to set up an online financial company when he gets out of prison, with the goal of going public in less than two years. He promised that if you help raise capital now, then he will give you shares in the new company in return.
