Yes, I've argued in court before and won. I've had attorneys ask me for legal advice. If anyone tries that on me I'll eat their liver.
I gave you a google link. Look, for all future posts, the point of my thread is not to have a bunch of douche bags harass the victim, its to see if there are any other victims out there. If anyone else reading this thread has had similar experiences please PM me.
I would love to hear the details of either of these. A stranger approached you on the street to ask you how your trading was going? Presumably the broker decided you were profitable enough to stalk in under a week? And then had their spy blow her cover? How did they try to steal your algo? Just so I can know if I had a similar experience.
No, I had not traded at all. My guess is it was one of the brokers girlfriends and maybe she knew me or something. Whatever it was, someone said something to someone else when they should not have.
Some brokers have broken the law, therefore my fantastic allegations are clearly true. Like I said, unhinged. Either that or you're just the unluckiest guy alive. To answer your original question, no. No one else has had experiences like yours and they are in fact so uncommon that everyone sees them as outlandish. Does that answer your question?
