I start their in Feb. 3000 sq ft. 12-07-05 07:18 PM Trades both. I heard in October he was 5% of the CME and made huge amounts. 12-07-05 11:42 AM They are opening a brand new office down town. I will find out the desk fees 12-07-05 11:29 AM Any one heard the rumour about Andy Priston AKA Braveheart opening a new office in Montreal. Sounds pretty good with massive tax incentives for people from the UK. Apparently Goldmand Sachs and Man are involved too! 12-07-05 11:26 AM UK citizens can apply for a 5 year tax free holiday. I heard the office is going to be very high tech I am going to beg for an interview there I think 12-06-05 10:37 PM Sounds like Andy Priston is opening an office in Montreal for 25 elite traders. 12-06-05 10:34 PM I heard from someone in Montreal that Andy Priston AKA Braveheart has opened or is opening an office for 25 elite traders from Canada and the UK. Guys from the UK are looking to take advantage of the Canadian tax incentives and also the attractive women that are there. Sound pretty cool! ________________________________________________________ Sounds like "Prop" is just a prop who works for Andy... you're so clever!
Boy what cynicism, the office is being opened by braveheart et al, they used to be at Refco but considering the debacle they managed to save themselves, a lot of good guys involved, If I was a newbie I'd jump at the opportunity to work with these guys.
