Longtime account-less lurker. I was going through a few unread distribution emails I received from various exchanges (cme, cboe, ice) as I was waiting for a flight, and a name from one disciplinary notice popped out because I remember reading his posts on here before. His name ( @MikaDelattreTrader ) is unique enough that it's 99% the same person, and his profile says "last seen" 2 days before the notice was sent out. https://www.ice.com/publicdocs/futu.../ICE_Futures_US_Michael_Delattre_20250522.pdf (his name is the same as the email on his profile information section) The same day, this notice was also sent out: https://www.ice.com/publicdocs/futures_us/exchange_notices/ICE_Futures_US_IBAdvisory_20250522.pdf which specifically describes: To help mitigate these risks, the Department encourages IBs and FCMs to review their client onboarding procedures and enhance their due diligence measures, if necessary, by: • understanding the client’s reasoning for trading and for what specific markets. (For example, was the new client pitched to open an account or trade an exotic market via a group forum or chat?); • questioning and vetting the client’s trading experience, specifically in exotic strategies/options; • monitoring requests to transfer positions of recently opened account(s) to another FCM; • placing lower trading limits on new clients for a trial period or specifically in exotic markets/options; and • robust monitoring to detect suspicious activities post-onboarding such as pre-arranged and money pass trading or unusual trading patterns in low-volume or exotic markets. It's possible this is referring to another forum. I made an account to post here just in case as a cautionary warning, and this specifically mentioned "via a group forum" so could apply to some of you. I would say nothing is free or if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, but I've learned a fair bit from here for free, so I'll leave it at that.
And then lied and couldn't come up w/ $25k for the fine? Shame... he should've had a passbook savings account.
The real question is: Who the fuck would use their real name on this sketchy ass website that looks like it's stuck in 2003 and run by a Nigerian prince? (no offense Baron) I'm surfing behind multiple VPNs, a couple of proxies and Tor all at the same time while also spoofing my UA. Google won't even let me search without doing a captcha for some sleeping Tesla drivers in real-time. Choose all the images where a semi-tractor trailer is about to smash into a windshield. No SHIT google! Why did it happen? Because you're trying to fingerprint me and having trouble. D-uh! Am I right Becky with the fat account?
and then he’s spreading cotton vs coffee because that would make complete sense. the vol trade is where the French “girls” joined in and were never heard from again.
Wait now that you mention that, I went back to look and one of the “French girls” from that thread also received an exchange notice @soniadebaeke https://www.ice.com/publicdocs/futu...ces/ICE_Futures_US_Sonia_Debaeke_20250522.pdf It’s weird all their usernames are firstnamelastname.
Don't you think that's a lot of work to protect some silly short puts into a 10 OI figure? On another note, what happens to your account when the mkt blows up and there is no offer on your puts? You're going to take assignments? Don't think so. I think you're going to be getting one of those $25K regulatory fines (but from the SEC) when they liquidate ur silliness. So you post to SM under Tor but short four lots on WiFi. Say hi to your bestie, @MarkBrown
