Petraeus getting basically no punishment at all for leaking much more serious material will lead to more leaks, since it seems top government and intelligence community officials are clearly being given the message: it’s okay to give up the nation’s biggest secrets if it means you get laid. General David Petraeus, a man who was convicted of giving classified information (much more serious than anything leaked by Manning) to his mistress. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-...the+survival+rate+for+everyone+drops+to+zero)

Internet reading this morning: (note that this is in tradingschools.info and moore's site is tradingschool.com?? A Review of Emmett Moore August 5, 2015 Cons – historical: On his site, Moore admits: Excessive and illegal cocaine and narcotics use 8 year crime spree involving securities and tax fraud Freely and closely worked with criminal organizations Convicted SEC felon – spent 3 years in a federal penitentiary. In one litigation alone – 22 count Commercial Express – there were 700 victims (a word Moore never uses) nationwide and $18MM in loss. Never posted a single future trade, never ran a trade room, zero futures experience that can be verified. He says in review of rooms over and over, “Don’t Believe Me”. Well, you will see is his could be his most truthful statement. Cons – recent: We found out that Moore approached Dr. Handley well over a year ago with a business deal to make himself famous. Moore was exuberant: “Dr. Handley was his #1 priority in life” and he proposed hiring cheap labor in a foreign county to sit and watch trade rooms for just a scant few days or so. Handley would then jump in, harvest surface details and publish on all rooms. Moore would monetize all of his recommendations (Moore had already registered a web site in Handley’s name). Moore presented himself as head of Moore Marketing Associates and his web site showed his impressive corporate office building, pictures of staff, their email addresses and phone numbers. Turns out Moore did not have his headquarters in that impressive building: no such business existed there – ever. Handley emailed his 3 staff members – emails were undeliverable; he called them – phone disconnected. So fake office, fake people and fake credentials: 100.00% fraud. Dr. Handley severed all communications. Moore says in his current web site TradingSchool.org that he did meet Dr. Handley, claiming Dr. Handley had reviewed a million different trading vendors (Moore got it wrong – actually about 550 at that time) and how Dr. Handley was the only vendor worth purchasing from (Moore got it wrong – actually then as now all Dr. Handley’s publications are free). Cons – Moore’s actual reviews: Moore writes reviews on trading rooms that are riddled with mistakes, fabrications and falsehoods. Look at a recent review published by Moore on Emini Vol Trader – head trader Michael Ramos [1]. The review is from 1 week in his room (2% of a year – not months like Dr. Handley); trades were replicated by Moore’s assistant Renya (like his fake employees before?) who is experienced(how experienced?) in a foreign country (that Moore cannot correctly spell) and while half way around the world, cont... http://www.tradingschools.org/reviews/emini-volume-trader-review/ http://trading.softwareinsider.com/ https://emmettmoorejr.wordpress.com/about/ Be aware of Emmett Moore (believed to be his legal name) who is a self-admitted SEC felon who has recently begun attacking web sites within the trading industry. source: http://tradingschools.info/2015/08/05/a-review-of-emmett-moore/
