Oliver Velez is in Colombia selling his courses and academy, and claims to be a legend in the United States to the point that he is recognized on Wall Street. He says "In my beginnings I learned trading, I was rejected by Wall Street, but some time later, Wall Street agents looked for me to teach them." As far as I know, he is not recognized, much less legend, if so, he would be in FORBES at least. How do I verify this information and end this fallacy? Many stupid people are falling into their scam system.
Well yeah, how do you verify something that never happened? But you can point to plenty of clues exposing him as a scammer if you only use Google. Some search results even point to discussions here on ET: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Oliver+Velez%22+trader
Is Oliver Velez A Legend? Sure he is. In his own mind, at least. Where, in Chuck Norris fashion, the Market asks Oliver Velez what it should do next....
But even a broken clock is correct twice a day, but it is the other 23 H, 59 M and 58 seconds it is wrong?
Sounds very familiar: All of these people are scammers. Every single one of them. I'd probably ask Tom Vu for poker tips, though.
Who is Oliver Velez? I’ve only been doing this for 21 years, so maybe I haven’t been around long enough to hear of this “legend”.
