Pabst is great. One of the legends of elitetrader-- now the place has become a snarling bitchfest Of very little value. I think his brother or cousin is one of the best traders ever. He thanked me in his first published article for helping him get published http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/article-by-pabst.125197/#post-1889867 He came to the surf fest and we all had a great time-- haven't seen him since- Is he still trading? Elite is definitely less since he stopped posting. surf PS-- i think there's a photo of him and Nitro etc in pink pants on this site but can't locate it.
Yeah, that was one of many great articles he wrote. I remember seeing them on your site. Not sure what he is doing. I spoke with him back in like 2008 or so. We had both been contacted by some guy down here who wanted to start an FX fund. Both Pabst and I saw right through this guy's bullshit. It was a crazy scam....I wish I still had the emails from this supposed "CTA". You would laugh your ass off at what he was proposing to do. That was the last I heard of Pabst though. He was then starting a fund. No idea whatever happened with that. Cool guy. Def a Hall of Famer of ET.
Yeah, the schemers and fakes are thick down here. Heck, one of Alsn Stanf*rds lieutenants called me for a job. Im fairly good at picking them out having worked with a guy when i was just out of law school doing the "prime bank" note trading scheme i met tons of financial rogues Last i heard from pabst is he called me up to raise money for him. It was when i was going through my divorce and i dont think we ever spoke. Off to Furniture shop . Surf
Yeah, this FX guy was a complete fraud....and a lunatic. Not the first one I have run across down here in the last 10 years. Claimed he had Morgan Stanley ready to fund him with 300 Million. Also ran across a guy who contacted me to trade for him some great "system" he came across in the ES. He claimed to have 50 million ready to trade. When I saw what he had ready to trade with the brokerage it was set up with it was missing the last 4 zeros. He claimed to be an heir to a very famous/wealthy family. Gotta love South Florida. I forgot about Stanford. Last time I saw him in the news was after he got the holy hell beaten out of him while in prison. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Furniture shopping? ugh.......double ugh.

Surf, did you organize and run this event? If so, good job. I don't think I recognized anyone there. But that is not saying much.
Some serious good looking food there. They had me at the 7th picture of that steak looking thing. Wow.
