FYI, I am on home confinement until July 10th, then I will be released. You probably know some of the more notorious traders at FMC Devens right now. Wikipedia lists some of them. Here's a little update: http://marketsplatter.wordpress.com/
This thread makes me sick. I see posting to the statements I have is nothing but a con game to some people. Well I'm not a con game, and I think that this thread ought to be deleted. The premise is simple: forge documentation of stellar performance, ask for money. Anybody with paper or word doc can do that and whether the entire world believes it or not I hope the trust I had in others would stop what has happened to me and it didn't.
There is so much more to the fund world than good performance. Investors only look at those funds with vetted top performance anyway--- so good or great performance just makes you the same as everyone else. The times you speak about, of forging and faking are long gone. Those folks are dinosaurs now-- but if you are talking about systemic risk itself, it's all part of the game. surf
There is nothing new under the Sun. I bet there are at least 5 ponzis running right now and there will be plenty of forging and faking coming out the next 5 years too. Mark my word... I do watch CNBC's Greed, so I am an expert. I googled "broker indicted" and this was just 3 months ago: http://www.stocklaw.com/Securities-...Hills-Stockbroker-Andrew-Baum-Indicted-o.aspx If you google "trader indicted" you get a january news: http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2013/01/28/ex-trader-for-jefferies-is-charged-with-fraud/
